I Love You to Death

"Hey Rosalie! Mon-o-poly!"

That's right, the Mikes are tackling the 1990 film Kevin Kline film, I Love You to Death on this episode of Forgotten Cinema.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss this dark comedy from director Lawrence Kasdan. They talk about the stellar cast, from Tracy Ullman and River Phoenix to great smaller parts for William Hurt and Keanu Reeves as would-be hitmen. The Mikes also touch upon Kasdan's career and his use of easy dialogue that seems to come naturally for his actors. They'll also talk about writer John Kostmayer and why a writer who finally sells a script and gets a film made seemingly drops off the face of Hollywood. And as usual with a comedy movie, the Mikes will talk about some of their favorite bits and lines, as well as the film's ability to make Butler crave pasta and meatballs.

So grab your spaghetti and meatballs, please notice the stoner hitmen 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.
