Living In Oblivion

This is it...the beginning of the end!

How fitting then that the Mikes take a look at the 1995 film, aptly titled Living in Oblivion, starring Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener, Dermot Mulroney, and Peter Dinklage in one of his first on screen roles.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss how true to life this independent film about making an independent film is. From the on-set frustrations to the importance of a good craft service table. The Mikes have nothing but praise for this film, which they believe should be required watching for any up-and-coming filmmaker.

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.
