The Negotiator

"You want my podcast?! Take my podcast!!!"

The Mikes are going back to the 90s to watch Samuel L. Jackson take some hostages and break some laws to prove that he's an honest cop. It's 1998's The Negotiator, directed by F. Gary Gray.

Listen to the episode where Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about a very different original plan for the film, where Sylvester Stallone would try to negotiate a hostage taking Kevin Spacey. They'll also discuss the use of every character actor from the 90s whoever played a cop being in this film. The Mikes will also talk about the ending of the film and whether or not the film (which reshot its ending) rushes it or not.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
