Greedy

Time to end season 8 by getting a little...greedy. See what I did there? Wait, that doesn't make any sense....anyway, the Mikes are taking a look at the 1994 comedy Greedy, starring Michael J Fox and Kirk Douglas.

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss all of the talent in this film that makes up the "greedy" McTeague family, especially Phil Hartman who steals the spotlight in nearly every scene he is in. They'll also talk Douglas' Uncle Joe, and how his scheme to find the heir to his fortune really worked, and how Fox's character of Danny really seemed like a true version of someone who was trying to do the right thing, while still being tempted by extreme wealth. But mostly, it's just the Mikes saying their favorite lines from the film.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you, 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.
