The Big Chill

The Mikes are going back to 1983 to sit down and have a long talk and hang out for the weekend. A "Big Chill" if you would. Get it?!

That's right; Mike Butler and Mike Field are discussing the Lawrence Kasdan written and directed film The Big Chill, starring Kevin Kline, Jeff Goldblum, Glenn Close, William Hurt, Tom Berenger, JoBeth Williams, Mary Kay Place, and Meg Tilly. What a cast!

Field and Butler will talk about the amazing dialogue in this film and what the title is actually referring to. They also bring up fun facts about the movie such as that during the rehearsal process, the characters had a dinner where they all ate and talked in character. The Mikes also talk about a now-famous star whose fairly important role was left on the cutting room floor.

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.
