Forgotten Cinema

The Trigger Effect


Listen Later

The Mike's find them stuck in the middle of a power and phone outage in mid 90's suburbia...and folks are going CRAZY!!!!!!

Mike Field and Mike Butler are talking about the 1996 David Koepp film, Trigger Effect, starring Kyle MacLachlan, Elisabeth Shue, and Dermot Mulroney. The Mikes discuss how this film is Koepp's directorial debut, the weakness in the character of Matt, wanting more of Durmot Mulroney's character and how underwritten Shue's character, Annie, is.

Butler and Field also talk about how Butler finds it too absurd that everything goes to Hollywood levels of crazy so fast during a power outage, and the use of color and long shots used to establish the start of the film.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema
