Noises Off

The Mikes are traveling back to 1992 to watch a film, based on a play about putting on a play. The meta is alive and kicking with this one! It's Noises Off on this episode of Forgotten Cinema.

Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they discuss this hilarious film with a star studded cast; Michael Caine, Carol Burnet, John Ritter, Christopher Reeve and more. Butler who had never heard of this film or play before talks about how fun, but difficult it would be to perform this play as both Mikes admire all of the actors in this film; especially Burnet and Ritter. The Mikes also figure that it could be the meta-ness of it all; the film of a play within a play that keeps this film forgotten, but something that would be much more appreciated today.

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.
