Quiz Show

The 21st season of Forgotten Cinema kicks off with a bang as the guys dive into Robert Redford’s "Quiz Show"! Field and Butler unpack this compelling look at one of the biggest scandals in television history, discussing everything from the powerhouse performances by Ralph Fiennes and John Turturro to Redford’s sharp direction. They explore how the film examines truth, manipulation, and the cost of fame—yet Butler's jaded 21st century brain doesn't think it's that big a deal. He's used to TV lying to him I guess.

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.
