Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion

The Mikes travel back to the 90's to reminisce about the 80's in this weeks episode of Forgotten Cinema as they take a look at 1997's Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion starring Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino.

Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss their second 90's high school reunion movie in a row for some reason! Listen as they talk about the relatability of the two main character's and whether or not it is difficult to root for them. They'll also talk about story of the film and how much of it does not take place until the final 20 minutes of the film. The Mikes also talk the supporting characters including Janeane Garofalo and Alan Cummings characters who steal their scenes as well as if a comedy should be judged wholly on the jokes alone.

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.
