The Best of Times

One Mike thinks this film is "The Best of Times"....the other not so much.

Mike Field and Mike Butler take a look at the 1986 comedy film The Best of Times starring Robin Williams and Kurt Russell. Listen to the episode as the Mikes disagree with each other about nearly every aspect in this film. Didn't think Robin Williams could be unlikeable in a film? Well, Butler is going to make a case that he is in this film. Butler and Field also go head to head on the motivations for these characters and the town itself. The only things they agree on is the look of the town is very interesting and unique, and Kurt Russell is good in everything.

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.
