Meet Joe Black

The Mike's catch up with a vacationing Death in this Valentine's(ish) episode of Forgotten Cinema.

That's right, the Mikes are discussing their very first romantic drama, Meet Joe Black, starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, directed by Martin Brest. Listen as Mike Butler and Mike Field talk about the fantastic performances by all of the film's cast. Butler and Field also talk about the excellent cinematography and writing in the film, as well as discuss why this film deserves its long run time, whereas many others do not. They'll also as always break down why they believe that this film has been forgotten, but why you and indeed all film lovers should do like Claire Forlani's character in this film, and give Joe Black a chance.

So grab a box of tissues, some of those crappy candy hearts and a spoonful of peanut butter, 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.
