Miller's Crossing

The Mikes are taking over the bootlegging business, and there ain't nobody going to get in their way, or else it's curtains for 'em! That's right...curtains!

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the Joel and Ethan Coen's 1990 crime film, Miller's Crossing starring Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney, Marcia Gay Harden, and Jon Turturro. Listen in as they gush about what might be the Coen brothers' most underrated film. A classic that was overshadowed by the behemoth that was Goodfellas. The writing; superb. The acting, outstanding. The Cinematography, fantastic. This movie ticks all the boxes that make a film great.

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.
