Forgotten Cinema

The 21st season of Forgotten Cinema kicks off with a bang as the guys dive into Robert Redford’s "Quiz Show"! Field and Butler unpack this compelling look at one of the biggest scandals in television history, discussing everything from the powerhouse performances by Ralph Fiennes and John Turturro to Redford’s sharp direction. They explore how the film examines truth, manipulation, and the cost of fame—yet Butler's jaded 21st century brain doesn't think it's that big a deal. He's used to TV lying to him I guess.

It flopped at the box office and critics tore it apart, but the Mikes are here to give "Death to Smoochy" the love it deserves. In this episode, join Mike Field and Mike Butler as they dive into Danny DeVito's darkly absurd comedy and explore why it actually holds up better than some people remember and became a cult classic. From Robin Williams' unhinged Rainbow Randolph to Ed Norton's squeaky-clean Smoochy the Rhino, there's a lot to appreciate in this twisted tale of children's TV gone corporate and corrupt. The Mikes talk performances, DeVito’s sharp direction, and why they both think this film deserves a second chance.
