Pitch Black

This week, the Mikes are crash landing on a hostile alien planet with Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, and escaped murderer Vin Diesel as they discuss the 2000 sci-fi film "Pitch Black".

Butler loved this movie when he was 13 and he still really likes it today, with a few logic and story issues. Field says he doesn't NOT like the film, but it kind of really seems like a hater. Along the way they'll discuss the alien creatures our survivors are trying to escape and the fact that Richard B. Riddick wasn't originally meant to survive or have the redemption arc that he does, but a young Dom Toretto charmed director David Twohy, studio execs, and the cast and crew. A twist of fate that would spawn 2 (and soon 3!) Riddick-centric sequels.

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.
