Uptown Girls

The Mike's are going to try their best to act their age and not their show size in one of their most difficult episodes of Forgotten Cinema they've ever done as they tackle the 2003 comedy(?) Uptown Girls, starring Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning.

This episode of Forgotten Cinema Season 5: Audience Choice! is brought to us by listener Birkir Fannar who runs a podcast/social media pages as Leikjarinn.

Listen to Mike Field and Mike Butler do a 180 and try to examine why this film should stay forgotten. Then listen to Butler try to last 5 minutes saying only positive things about this film...and fail. Then listen to Field and Butler rank the best fast food french fries. Yup; this ones a keeper.

Thanks again Birkir Fannar from Leikjarinn. Even though they do not agree with the choice of film doesn't mean they don't respect the film, or those that choose them. As they always say, film is subjective.

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.
