Tomorrowland

Get ready for jetpacks, ray-guns, Eiffel Tower spaceships, and Audio Animatronics that look like small children because the Mike's have received their pins! Forgotten Cinema is headed to Tomorrowland!

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss this 2015 Disney family adventure film. Field is completely in love with this Brad Bird directed feature, so (shockingly) it's up to Butler to provide a level head and bring up reasons that the film may have been forgotten, such as issues with the pacing of the plot and third act. Field will gush about how this film about the world of tomorrow is more like a movie from yesteryear, better fit in the more fun and optimistic 80's. Both Mikes will laud the performances, action, theme, and obvious love for both the theme park attraction and sci-fi films that came before and inspired it.

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.
