The Mikes are standing up to the corruption of Rome and stepping into the ring with Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, and Pedro Pascal in Gladiator 2.

Ridley Scott is bringing us more ancient roman hijinks almost a quarter of a century after his original best picture nominee which won Russel Crowe an Oscar. What did Mike Field and Mike Butler think of this film? Just how awesome was Denzel Washington? Can the young Mescal step into the armor of Crowe?

The Mikes are using their years of film special effects knowledge to clear their names of murder, beat up assassins and avoid being arrested by Brian Dennehy. Oh, and then throw all of that away for a bag of money I guess.

Mike Butler and Mike Field are talking about the 1986 action/thriller "F/X" starring Bryan Brown on this week's episode of Forgotten Cinema. Join the Mikes as they try to figure out why they enjoy this film so filled with awful logic, massive plot holes, and an unlikeable lead character. Is it the movie angle? The 80s/90s-ness of it all?

The Mikes are seeing the light and getting real smart with John Travolta as he creeps on Kyra Sedgwick.

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the 1996 film "Phenomenon". This nice PG drama film is one that Butler remembers fondly, but does it hold up? Is Travolta the only choice for the lead role? What inspired this film? And is there anything Robert Duvall is NOT amazing in?!
