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.

This week on "Forgotten Cinema", the Mikes take a wrong turn into "Judgment Night" (1993), a gritty urban thriller starring Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven, and Denis Leary. While both Mike Field and Mike Butler agree the film is well made and well acted, they also agree it’s held back by a clunky script and characters who make some truly baffling decisions. And while Denis Leary brings energy to the role, let’s just say he’s not exactly convincing as a hardened villain from the “hood”. Still, there’s a solid thriller buried beneath the bad choices, questionable casting, and one of the most iconic genre soundtracks of the ‘90s. The bones are there, but does Judgment Night live or die by its execution? What's your favorite gritty 90's film? Or, had you ever heard of "Judgement Night"?

Mike Butler and Mike Field take one final leap into the world of video games turned movies with guest Russ Lyman on their limited special series "From Console to Screen" to discuss the 2005 Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sci-fi action adaptation of "Doom" also starring Karl Urban. Does the first person action scene save this film from the other adaptations the Mikes have had to endure? What's your favorite Doom game?

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes step into the quiet, brutal world of "A History of Violence" (2005), directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen. Mike Field brings the praise; this is his favorite Cronenberg film. Mike Butler? Not so much. While the film’s tight runtime and strong performances are appreciated on both sides, the impact of the violence doesn’t quite land for Butler the way it does Field and apparently everyone else. Is that a product of time and increased violence in cinema? The Mikes dig into Cronenberg’s themes, the stripped-down approach to storytelling, and it's themes about the pervasive nature of violence still resonate 20 years later.

Mike Butler and Mike Field are once again joined by guest Russ Lyman on their limited special series "From Console to Screen" to discuss "Street Fighter: The Movie" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia in his final role as the scene stealing M. Bison. Surely this film based on a fighting video game is good...right? RIGHT?! What's your favorite Street Fighter character?

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes suit up for "Armed and Dangerous" (1986), the John Candy and Eugene Levy comedy that should have been a slam dunk... but misses more than it hits. Mike Butler revisits this one with a dose of teenage nostalgia, having watched it on cable back in the day, and still finds enjoyment in Candy’s charm and the offbeat buddy-cop setup with Levy. Mike Field, on the other hand, isn’t as forgiving. The guys break down why this film never quite clicks—from uneven character work to a script that trades sharp comedy for slapstick filler. They also dig into the wild production history, including the revolving door of directors and stars, and how Harold Ramis tried to distance himself from the final product. There’s fun to be had here, but it’s far from 80s comedy greatness. So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
