The Mikes are taking a look at the brand new "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" starring Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. on an all new episode of Forgotten Cinema Now Showing.

A few weeks from now, Mike Butler and Mike Field will be taking a look at the original "Den of Thieves" on the main show...so poor timing and maybe not so forgotten??? Eh, we'll be the judge of that!

What did the Mikes think of this film, which is fairly different from the first? How was the buddy cop/thief angle? How heist-y does it get? Check out the episode to find out!

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!
