Stretch

The Mikes are taking a ride with the craziest limo driver in Los Angeles in this episode of Forgotten Cinema at a 2014 Joe Carnahan film starring Patrick Wilson, Ed Helms, Jessica Alba, Ray Liotta, David Hasselhoff, Randy Couture, James Badge Dale and (totally not) Chris Pine in his craziest role to date.

That's right! We're talking Stretch!

All those people and you never heard of it? That's okay, because that's why the Mikes are here! Join hosts Mike Field and Mike Butler as they discuss and hypothesize what may have happened between Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures that caused this small budget film (that almost certainly would have at least made its money back) to be pulled from their theatrical line up (unless you lived in eastern Europe, you lucky bastards). They'll also talk the quick filming style, the dialogue, superfluous characters, how good Patrick Wilson and (not) Chris Pine are, and how this movie is one the finest B-Movie Action/Comedies in quite some time.

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.
