Joe and Adam conduct the annual Movies You Forgot You Forgot awards, including best film of the year, best new film to you, and others!

Joe & Adam dive into Oliver Stone’s 1986 Vietnam War flick Platoon, and ponder is this canon Vietnam War flick or has the current state of Charlie Sheen made it a tad laughable.

Also, is it enough to just watch Vietnam War films to know about Vietnam? (No). Also, why’s Joe so touchy?

Thanks for listening, we love you. Email us as [email protected] with all your thoughts and notions and criticisms, Adam can handle it. Maybe try and suggest a film for the communal list; dare you?

Follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways. He’ll follow back.

It's a prequels episode, with Prometheus in the firing line. Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, starring Michael Fassbender & Charlize Theron was released in 2012 and never quite lived up to expectation. Joe & Adam, in this episode, discuss why the film doesn't really work, why the original Alien is great, and how people imagine the future. 

Michael Mann's Collateral is on the bill in this episode of Movies You Forgot You Forgot. Does Tom Cruise make it work as the silver-haired villain? Is Jamie Foxx miscast? And why does Mann love shooting outside at night? All this and more!

It’s an Off To the Cinema special (aka a non-essential filler episode), as Joe gets his special wish: to see Ridley Scott‘s Gladiator II with his best bud Adam. He loves everything about the original, and had high hopes for the follow-up starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Pedro Pescal.

It didn’t go well, and Joe shares his lamentations about the film’s failures.

Plus, there’s a bit of afters about Rotten Tomatoes Best Films of the Last 25 Years list.

This is not a film that Adam forgot he forgot. Clearly. This is all on Joe, Quentin Tarantino’s seminal, iconic, zeitgeist-changing, comically violent crime flick from 1994.

Starring John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames, it’s a flick of unforgettable moments and seared-in-the-mind dialogue. Not for Joe though.

The duo chat violence in movies, post-modernism, what a great film it is, Tarantino’s baffling insistence on appearing in his own films, and getting waylaid by foot massages along the journey.

Send us an email at [email protected] with any cinematic thoughts you have or digs you have about stuff we’ve said, along with suggestions for future episodes. There is a ‘communal list’ of films people forgot they forgot - add one to the tally.

Follow Adam on Letterboxd, @errorofways, it’s fun over there.

The Cameron Crowe directed 2000 nostalgia music flick about a band on the run, starring Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup and Patrick Fugit, and featuring the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Joe & Adam dig into director’s cuts, the fine differences between nostalgia for a general past time versus a nostalgia for being young (with added Chat-GPT for clarity/confusion), and this film’s missing heart of darkness.

Send us as email at [email protected] with your thoughts, feelings and ideas, plus any suggestions you have for a

film you forgot you forgot. We’ll add it to the communal list! Enter into consideration. Rate us on your podcast platform of choice, suggest us to a film-involved pal, and (and!) follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorways, he will follow you back and enter into friendly respectful cinematic based chat.

What animal would you get turned into? Joe & Adam ponder The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2015 dry as a bone awkward sci-fi comedy starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.

Is the film all logic brain and no beating heart? There is much discussion of Lanthimos’ tone, and a great divide over whether Poor Things is good or not. 

Also: what is the narrative of Farrell’s career, what sound does a lobster make, and what animal is best to get turned into. As well, of course, there’s the usual business of the Box Office Game, and the Forgot You Forgot Picking the Next Film Game.

And follow Adam over on Letterboxd, he’ll follow you back and enter friendly good-hearted film banter.

Joe and Adam delve deep into the big Oscar flick of 2011, the Tomothy Hooper directed royal flick The King's Speech. Starring Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter, the pair chat about how Oscar buzz ruined this film and managed to rediscover the pleasures herein. They also dig into Firth, and laser in on the narrative of his rise to power. 

In this special episode the MYFYF duo chat about the recent movies they’ve seen - but not before Joe tells a tale about his dad’s bedtime stories.

Also, the co-host reflects on the films he watched on his recuperation journey (all the Harry Potters, obviously), while Adam laments his time with Twisters. 

Plus plenty more in this not-so special ep that isn’t about movies we forgot we forgot, but just plain old movies.
