The Thirteenth Floor

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes boot up "The Thirteenth Floor" (1999), a mind-bending sci-fi noir that asked big questions about reality... but got completely lost in the shadow of "The Matrix" and "The Phantom Menace".

Mike Field and Mike Butler dig into the film’s intriguing setup, the classic genre vibes, and a standout performance by Vincent D’Onofrio, but also explore why the second and third acts start to glitch out a bit. Did this film deserve more recognition, or was it simply uploaded too late?

Cue the trench coats and CRT monitors—we're diving headfirst into 1999’s other simulated reality.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
