Forgotten Cinema

A Simple Plan


Listen Later

Which Mike would betray whom if they found a sack of money worth millions of dollars?

Both of course! Just like the three men in this week's episode of Forgotten Cinema!

Join Mike Field and Mike Butler as they discuss the 1998 film "A Simple Plan," directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thorton, Brent Briscoe and Bridget Fonda. The Mikes will talk about how the performances of the actors and the way in which this film was shot, elevates what is a fairly standard tale of greed and betrayal. This film had a long road through development hell and ended up nominated for two Academy Awards; one for Best Supporting Actor Billy Bob Thorton and Best Adapted Screenplay for Scott B. Smith, who also wrote the novel his screenplay was based on...with a little help from Ben Stiller of all people.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema
