Munich

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes dive into one of Steven Spielberg’s most underrated and powerful films: "Munich" (2005).

As longtime Spielberg fans, Mike Field and Mike Butler are all in on this gripping thriller, unpacking the film’s masterful direction, stunning cinematography, and the complex moral themes at its core. They explore how "Munich" handles questions of justice, revenge, and the cost of violence; all backed by Spielberg’s signature precision behind the camera.

Thought-provoking, haunting, and expertly crafted, "Munich" is a film that deserves far more attention than it gets. Let’s fix that.

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.
