This week on Forgotten Cinema: Now Showing, the Mikes are talking about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's new movie, "The Rip". And just like almost every single Netflix film...it's fine. Mid. Meh.

Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss how the great performances by Damon and Affleck push this film slightly above the Netflix norm. But poor writing, dark and empty sets with a skeleton cast keep this film from being all that it can be. Is this the future of cinema? Do we have to hear them say they have to get "the rip" 9000 times to remind second screen audiences what's going on?

Seems to us like it's mostly just films you'd find in the DVD bargain bin at your local superstore.
