The Nice Guys

The Mike's get groovy in this episode of Forgotten Cinema as they gush over one of their top 10 films of the last decade, The Nice Guys.

Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss why this mystery, action, comedy by writer-director Shane Black deserved more credit and acclaim than it received. They talk about the chemistry between stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe; as well as how their characters are the impetus to move along the very mystery that they are trying to solve. They also spend some time commending the excellent dialogue in this infinitely quotable film.

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.
