The Paper

The Mikes are rushing to make the morning edition to tell you their thoughts on the 1994 Ron Howard film "The Paper" starring Michael Keaton, Glenn Close, Randy Quaid, Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, and more!

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss how this film is still shown to journalism students as an accurate portrayal of newspaper journalism, how screenwriter David Koepp may not have a noticeable style, but his films always move and have quotable dialogue.

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.
