Juice

The Mikes see if they got the "juice" in this episode of Forgotten Cinema as they take a look at the 1992 film Juice, directed by Ernest R. Dickerson and starring Omar Epps and Tupac Shakur.

This episode of Forgotten Cinema Season 5: Audience Choice! is brought to us by Aaron Singleton. Thanks Aaron!

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss the how Ernest R. Dickerson kept to a true three act structure within a tight 90 minute film. The Mikes also talk the excellent acting by the entire cast and the realistic motivations and actions of their central characters and whether or not Tupac's character, Bishop, is a villain or not.

Thanks again to Aaron for suggesting this film to us!

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.
