Take Me Home Tonight

It's the 80's, there's a stolen car, sick synth beats, and a large bag of cocaine! It's time to party!

This week the Mikes are looking at 2011's Take Me Home Tonight starring Topher Grace, Anna Farris, and Chris Pratt.

Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss what makes this 80's themed movie work. Mainly all the drugs if they're honest. This is because of Dan Fogler's character, who's story revolves around a never-ending bag of cocaine. Though the movie might be par for the course in terms of college party gone wrong antics and young adults trying to find their way, the movie is a pretty fun ride, worth a watch.

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.
