    The Mikes are bringing the holiday spirit by throwing an "Office Christmas Party" with Jason Bateman, T.J. Miller, and Olivia Munn along with about 800 other comedic actors.

    Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they ask the big questions; like, does the sheer amount of names hurt this film? Or is it the fact that we can't seem to stay focused on the eponymous Christmas party? Is this film destined to become a holiday classic?

  • The Mikes are leaving their friends behind to get abducted by aliens in the woods then having a hard time explaining it to the cops as they discuss this week's episode, the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky".

    Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss this film based on "true events" starring Robert Patrick, D.B. Sweeney, Peter Berg, and Henry Thomas. The Mikes will talk about how and why the writers of this film chose to alter certain things about the original event for their film, how director Robert Lieberman didn't want to cast D.B. Sweeney so bad, the film almost didn't get made, and how the alien abduction flashback freaked Field out back in the day. The Mikes will also discuss their thoughts and beliefs on the UFO/Alien topic that seems to be heating up.

    And this was recorded back in October!

    Mike Butler and Mike Field are talking about the 1986 action/thriller "F/X" starring Bryan Brown on this week's episode of Forgotten Cinema. Join the Mikes as they try to figure out why they enjoy this film so filled with awful logic, massive plot holes, and an unlikeable lead character. Is it the movie angle? The 80s/90s-ness of it all?
