Shattered

The Mikes are loosing their memory, getting some plastic surgery done, and hiring Eddie Valiant from some pet shop outside of Toon Town for their latest episode; the 1991 erotic-thriller "Shattered", directed by Wolfgang Peterson and starring Tom Berenger and Bob Hoskins.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss the film's big twist, as well as the performances that drive the film. The Mikes also discuss where grown up films like this are nowadays and if they might make a resurgence.

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.
