Ready to Rumble

The Mikes are ending Season 5 with a bang....well maybe a pile driver, or the people's elbow, as they take on the 2000 film, Ready to Rumble, starring David Arquette, Scott Caan and a ton of pro wrestlers.

This episode of Forgotten Cinema Season 5: Audience Choice is brought to us by Joey DiCarlo from the So Wizard Podcast.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss how this early aughts comedy works best when focusing on the wrestling. The Mikes will also talk about the inconsistency in Arquette's and Caan's characters that keep you from forming a connection to them and how good Martin Landau is as Sal Bandini. "Wanna Wrestle?!"

Thanks again to Joey DiCarlo and find out more about the So Wizard Podcast at http://www.sowizardpodcast.com/.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, 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.
