The Mikes are helping Billy Bob Thorton blow up his barn and launch a rocket to space in this week's episode talking about the 2007 film The Astronaut Farmer.
Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss the themes of this movie, like family and never giving up on your dreams. and how they carry this film from start to finish. Sure, building a rocket to space in your barn is kind of dumb, but Thorton, along with his wife (played by Virginia Madsen) and family make it a dumb idea that you root for. Add to that a substantial uncredited Bruce Willis, and you've got a feel-good charming movie.
So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
