The Mikes are uncorking a discussion on Bottle Shock (2008), the underrated film starring Chris Pine, Alan Rickman, and Bill Pullman that tells the true story of the 1976 Judgement of Paris—where a California winery shocked the world by beating the French at their own game.

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field break down the film’s performances, it's fine line between watchability and snobbery, and whether this under-the-radar movie deserves a spot among the greats. Is Bottle Shock a vintage classic or just a forgettable pour?

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