Teaching Mrs. Tingle

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes head back to the turn of the millennium to team up with Katie Holmes and kidnap Hellen Mirren as they discuss "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" (1999), written and directed by Kevin Williamson.

Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about how the film "screams" late-90s/early-2000s with its tone, cast, and style, but also dig into why it doesn’t quite live up to its potential due to rewrites and a variety of issues. Could it have been a sharp teen thriller? Did it hold back too much? And is Helen Mirren just doing her best with what she was given?

Grab your chokers and dial-up internet—it's time for another deep dive into a forgotten flick!

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.
