Forgotten Cinema

The Player


Listen Later

The Mikes have pissed off the wrong screenwriter, as they work to keep their high-powered producer jobs at their studio...wait, no that's Tim Robbins in Robert Altman's 1992 film, The Player.

Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss how this movie about moviemaking is great at poking fun at Hollywood, but maybe doesn't go far enough. They'll also talk about the endless celebrity cameos, certain plot elements that don't go anywhere and the very impressive 8-minute one take that opens the movie.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema
