What Lies Beneath

Ladies and Gentlemen: get ready for the fight of the century (or at least season)! It's finally time to discuss Robert Zemeckis' What Lies Beneath! Starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer on this episode of Forgotten Cinema!

In the red corner, it's Mike Butler; a man who has for decades, loathed this film and it's many issues. Can his hatred be tempered by good acting and fancy camera work?

In the blue corner, it's Mike Field! One time staunch supporter and defender of this film in past episodes. But can his love stand the test of contrivance after contrivance and things happening because...plot?

Let's get ready to PODCAST!!!!!!

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.
