Ghost Town

The Mikes see dead people and misanthropic British dentists in this episode of Forgotten Cinema.

Listen as Mike Butler and Mike Field talk about the 2008 romantic comedy, Ghost Town, starring Ricky Gervais and Tea Leoni. Written and directed by resident favorite, David Koepp. 

The Mikes discuss the importance of why more men and so-called "film-guys" need to start embracing more romantic films. They will also try to figure out why such a funny, touching, and overall well made film didn't fair better at the box office. 

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema

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.
