Joe Versus the Volcano

The Mike's gotta be brave, they gotta jump in... To this week's movie!!!

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss brain clouds, existentialism, and volcanos during this look at the 1990 Tom Hanks film, also starring Meg Ryan and written and directed by John Patrick Shanley.

They'll talk the meanings and symbolisms that exist in nearly every frame of this film, the look of the film, and whether or not you can truly classify the film as straight-up comedy.

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