Fire in the Sky

The Mikes are leaving their friends behind to get abducted by aliens in the woods then having a hard time explaining it to the cops as they discuss this week's episode, the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky".

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss this film based on "true events" starring Robert Patrick, D.B. Sweeney, Peter Berg, and Henry Thomas. The Mikes will talk about how and why the writers of this film chose to alter certain things about the original event for their film, how director Robert Lieberman didn't want to cast D.B. Sweeney so bad, the film almost didn't get made, and how the alien abduction flashback freaked Field out back in the day. The Mikes will also discuss their thoughts and beliefs on the UFO/Alien topic that seems to be heating up.

And this was recorded back in October!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
