The Mikes are looking for demons to kill...who might just be regular innocent people as they discuss the 2002 Bill Paxton thriller Frailty, starring none other than Bill Paxton. Matthew McConaughey is also in it.

Mike Butler and Mike Field talk about how they like this film, but find some issues with the way they handle the film's twist and mystery. They'll talk about the real-life murders that inspired this film, the reason the axe is named Otis, and how James Cameron helped Paxton make a crucial storytelling choice in the film.

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