The Mikes are grabbing some fedoras and walking through doors in good ol' NYC on this episode of Forgotten Cinema as they take a look at the 2011 George Nolfi film, The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.
Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the film's theme of "fate vs free will" and how they tackle such a quasi religious story without stepping on any toes, but still keeping it interesting. The Mikes will also talk about how this entire film hinges on the chemistry between Damon and Blunt. Without it, there is no film. They'll also get into the lore and inner workings of the so called "Bureau."
So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
