The Mikes are going back in time 8 minutes to help Jake Gyllenhaal stop a bomb from going off in Chicago.

That's right Mike Field and Mike Butler are talking the 2011 Duncan Jones film, Source Code, also starring Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffery Wright.

Does the high concept sci-fi in this film jive with Field, or does it leave him quantum entangled in confusion and a preference for a more Scott Bakula-style leaping?

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.
