The Weather Man

The Mikes are moving to Chicago to take Nicolas Cage's +250k Chicago Weatherman salary. And that's 2005 dollars!

That's right, Winter is HERE as we discuss the 2005 Gore Verbinski film "The Weather Man" also starring Michael Caine, which takes place in snowy Chicago. Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss how, even though they enjoy this film, it is plagued with an emptiness, within it's dialogue, themes, and certainly it's main character.

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.
