In Bruges

The Mikes are going on holiday "In Bruge" after a podcast gone wrong with guest host Laura Johns from the "Why the Book Wins" podcast.

Mike Field, Mike Butler, and Laura will discuss what they like about this 2008 dark dramedy from writer/director Martin McDonagh (of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri fame) starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes. The themes are ever-present, the acting is top notch, the setting is interesting and the dialogue is clever. The three hosts will also go into some meandering plot-lines, loose threads and a couple of thematic pieces that could have been clearer.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema

And while you're at it, listen to Laura and her podcast at whythebookwins.com!

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.
