Phenomenon

The Mikes are seeing the light and getting real smart with John Travolta as he creeps on Kyra Sedgwick.

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the 1996 film "Phenomenon". This nice PG drama film is one that Butler remembers fondly, but does it hold up? Is Travolta the only choice for the lead role? What inspired this film? And is there anything Robert Duvall is NOT amazing in?!

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.
