October 01, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBIt's a very special Daniel Craig edition of both CineFUNery and the Forgotten Film Pod's kind of annual Bondathon! In preparation for the release of Craig's last outing as Bond -- No Time to Die -- we joined the Forgetful Film Critic.com in a rewatch of Casino Royale through Spectre. Part 1 covers Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, while Part 2 goes over Skyfall and Spectre ... along with some NTtD speculation!

Discussion: Iria: Zeiram the Animation
July 09, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBFourteen weeks and one day late ... it's time for the Forgotten Film Pod! Er, wait. The Forgotten SHOW Pod! The boys are back (for now) for their discussion of all six episodes of the classic anime miniseries IRIA: ZEIRAM THE ANIMATION (aka iria: zieram the bounty hunter on Amazon). Does it hold up? What would we pair it with? How many hoots do we give? You have to listen to find out! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catcher...
Intro: Iria - Zeiram the Animation
March 18, 2020 00:00 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBThe Forgotten Film Pod is back! And rather than the normal cinematic pairing, we're doing a six-episode anime series from 1994 -- IRIA: ZEIRAM THE ANIMATION. Rob is introducing Jordan, and presumably many of you, to the wonders of tentacle monsters, kabuki fangs, and space bounty hunters! Did you know it was a movie first? Well, now you do. Listen to learn more, and come back soon for our discussion of the series! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, ...
CineFUNery: Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
February 25, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 86.7 MBWait, what's this? A new movie that isn't a bonus episode? That's right, we're talking about BIRDS OF PREY AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN as a regular ol' CineFUNery because ... spoiler alert ... it's fun! We also take this as an opportunity to discuss the comic book industry and its cinematic equivalent (because that's always a good time). So, is BoP better than Suicide Squad? The answer should be obvious, but you'll have to listen to find out! You can also listen to t...
Cinef#$%ery: My Bloody Valentines
February 11, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBIt's Valentine's Day 2020, so naturally we wanted to celebrate that by going deep (into mines) and getting romantic (by sending heart-shaped boxes with actual hearts in them). That's right, we're finally shedding our hard chocolate shells and revealing our gooey centers by watching and discussing ... MY BLOODY VALENTINE (1981) and MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D (2009)! So share the love with us and listen, won't you? And come back in two weeks for our next episode ... Birds of Prey! You can also lis...
BONUS: FFP 2019 Too Hot 4 TV Special!
January 07, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBWelp. 2020 has gotten off to ... a start. Definitely a start of some kind. So with that, we thought it would be fun to drop outtakes from our original episodes from 2019 -- conversations, diversions and good old fashioned comedy that was, some might say, TOO HOT 4 TV! Some real spicy content here, folks. Hopefully this will tide you over until we officially return from our hiatus in the next month or so. Until then, please to enjoy our cutting room floor! You can also listen to the Forgotten...
BONUS! Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
December 25, 2019 17:02 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBIt's a Life Day miracle! Rob and Jordan saw the latest (and last) entry of the Skywalker Saga, STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (how original), and we've got some grievances to air, as well as some things to celebrate. So listen now and spread some holiday cheer (and jeers)! This description is notably all over the place with references, please forgive -- it's the holidays! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you....
Discussion: BONDATHON 2019
November 26, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 145 MBIn 2019, we would like to give thanks to Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and, yes, even George Lazenby for giving us so much Bond goodness over the years. In that spirit, we present our biggest BONDATHON yet with discussions of FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, THUNDERBALL, and ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. People think Daniel Craig's James Blonde started the more serialized storytelling of the franchise, but we're here to set the record straight! So gobble up some turkey and listen while y...
BONDATHON 2019: Intro
November 13, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBBAH-DAH-baaaaaah bah-dah-bah! Doo-dee-doo doo-doo! It's fully November, so you know what that means. It's time for the annual BONDATHON. It's been quite the journey over the years, and it's all led to this: the rise and fall of SPECTRE and Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Rob is introducing Jordan and our special guest Josh Taylor, the Forgetful Film Critic Dot Com, to Connery classics FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and THUNDERBALL, as well as the lonely Lazenby's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. We are totes ex...
CineFUNery: Re-Animator
October 29, 2019 00:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MBWe're wrapping up our spooooooooky-thon with another cult classic, Stuart Gordon's H.P. Lovecraft's RE-ANIMATOR! Just like raising the dead, making movies isn't fool-proof, but when you've Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, you can always count on a cineFUN time at the movies. So move yer dead bones and listen! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you. Theme: “Vintage Education” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Li...
Discussion: Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream
October 16, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 97.2 MBWe're continuing our spoooooooooky adventure into vampiric horror for October with our discussions of both the cult classic BLACULA and its even cultier sequel SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM. Do they hold up? You've got to listen to find out! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you.

Intro: Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream
October 02, 2019 00:00 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MBOctober may have just started, but we're already feeling the spoooooky season! Our latest intro episode features Rob introducing Jordan to both of William Marshall's classic vampire flicks BLACULA and its sequel SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM. Come for the movies, stay for the not-so-subtle Count Duckula references throughout! Come back in two weeks to listen to our discussions! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you. As...
Discussion: Sing! and Zootopia
September 18, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 100 MBWe're bounding back to SING! and ZOOTOPIA, ready to rhapsodize and discuss these anthropomorphic animated flicks that were, decidedly, only forgotten by Rob and Jordan. These may be popular in the populace, but don't get your dander up ... because they're new to us! So what did we think? Does SING! sing? Is Zootopia really that great a place? Do these movies harmonize well together, or is this a predator vs. prey scenario? You'll have to listen to find out! You can also listen to the Forgott...
Intro: Sing! and Zootopia
September 04, 2019 15:00 - 44 minutes - 40.6 MBIt's finally happening! After several promises that Jordan would be introducing SING! to Rob and that Rob would be introducing ZOOTOPIA to Jordan, we now keep that promise with our new intro episode. Not only that, but we have a special guest this episode, Jennifer Olivas! This super pairing is sure to be legendary, so feast with your ears on our tremulous new episode of digitally anthropomorphic proportions! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitc...
Discussion: Flesh + Blood and Blind Fury
August 21, 2019 19:46 - 1 hour - 93.9 MBAs much as we appreciate these movies, this is the first episode Rob and Jordan feel it is necessary to issue a content warning for. We don't go into graphic detail, but FLESH + BLOOD itself contains graphic depictions of rape and sexual assault and so, naturally, our discussion must grapple with that reality. Spoiler alert, we still recommend the movie with massive caveats. Thankfully, BLIND FURY is much less potentially triggering, so consider it and our discussion of it your reward for mak...
Intro: Flesh + Blood and Blind Fury
August 07, 2019 00:00 - 56 minutes - 51.5 MBIt is with a heavy heart that we approach our latest pairing of movies, because as we dip our toes into the filmography of genre legend Rutger Hauer, we must also say goodbye. RIP to one of the greatest actors of his or any generation. But these are movies we've been wanting to do for a while, so Jordan and Rob had to finally introduce each other to FLESH AND BLOOD, directed by Paul Verhoeven, and BLIND FURY, based off the classic samurai character Zatoichi the blind swordsman. Join us, won't...
Cinef#$%ery: Dungeons and Dragons
July 24, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 82.3 MBSo apropos of nothing at all, Jordan and Rob have decided to dive deep into the cinef#$%ening of DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS in this latest episode of the Cinef#$%ery featuring DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. Is Jeremy Irons a good actor? Is Marlon Wayans a good actor? Did Thora Birch deserve this? Has there ever been worse CGI in a theatrically released major motion picture? You'll have to listen to find out just how cinef#$%ed this movie is! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all other CineEFF...
CineFUNery: The Burbs
July 09, 2019 00:00 - 57 minutes - 52.4 MBWe're continuing our journey covering a pair of movies that we absolutely love. The second FUN flick that we're putting through the FUNery is THE BURBS, which has been Jordan's favorite since even he was a young, burgeoning Forgottenaut. Just how FUN is this Joe Dante-directed, Tom Hanks-starrer? Listen to find out! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all other CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you. Theme: “Vintage Education” Kevin MacLeod (incompete...
CineFUNery: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
June 26, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBWe've been feeling a bit too negative recently, so for the next couple of episodes we decided to cover a pair of movies that we absolutely love. The first FUN movie that we're putting through the FUNery is BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, which is one of Rob's top ten movies of all time even as a young, whippersnapping Forgottenaut. Just how FUN is B and T? Listen now to find out how! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you. Theme...
Bonus: Avengers: Endgame
June 11, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBWe're way, way, way in the endgame now. Sure, it's been a while since AVENGERS: ENDGAME premiered in theaters and the "official" spoiler ban has been lifted by directors the Russo brothers and Disney, but that just means it's a perfect time for the Forgotten Film Pod to discuss the movie in all its spoilerific glory. It is literally impossible to talk about this movie otherwise. So buckle in and strap up for the big finale to more than 10 years of the MCU with our b-b-b-bonus episode! You ca...
Cinef#$%ery: Terminator: Genisys
May 29, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 89.9 MBFor good or ill, Game of Thrones has officially wrapped up, which means it's time to wrap up our Cinef#$%ery adventure into GoT tie-in movies starring the show's two star-crossed leads. In this episode, we talk about how cinef#$%ed TERMINATOR: GENISYS really is. Some people are born to play their roles, and Emilia Clarke as Danaerys Targaryen is one of those. Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, on the other hand? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Do that now! You can find out how cinef#$%e...
Cinef#$%ery: Pompeii
May 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBHow appropriate that the production of a podcast discussion about a disaster movie led to unexpected and destructive technical difficulties. But we're here, finally, with our next edition of Cinef#$%ery, the show where we figure out just how cinef#$%ed movies can get. This month we're celebrating(?) the end of Game of Thrones with two movies starring the main cast members of the series. First up is the Jon Snow/Kit Harrington feature film debut (maybe!), POMPEII. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderso...
Discussion: Inherent Vice and The Long Goodbye
April 24, 2019 15:00 - 2 hours - 131 MBWe didn't expect this episode to turn into a mega, huge, extra-long discussion, but here we are. Nobody expected Paul Thomas Anderson OR Thomas Pynchon to make middling crime noir at this point in their careers, but here we are. Nobody expected Elliott Gould to be the best Philip Marlowe ever. But. Here. We. Are. Spoilers? Nah! Listen to hear Rob and Jordan dig deep into both INHERENT VICE and THE LONG GOODBYE and find out why these movies are meh and fantastic, respectively. And come back in...
Intro: Inherent Vice and The Long Goodbye
April 09, 2019 00:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBIn this introduction episode, Rob and Jordan set themselves up for a neo noir marathon, a veritable genre deconstruction deconstructicon! We start with Paul Thomas Anderson's INHERENT VICE based on the Thomas Pynchon novel and "recommended" by our former co-host, Josh Taylor aka the Forgetful Film Critic. We then move on to our second Robert Altman flick, THE LONG GOODBYE, introduced here by Rob to Jordan, based on the Raymond Chandler novel. That means this is also an intro to an adaptation-...
Discuss: Withnail and I and The Voices
March 27, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBContinuing our third anniversary celebration, wherein we watch two movies recommended by our fans/listeners, we discuss the British art flick WITHNAIL AND I and the post-modern super-American dark comedy THE VOICES, because you asked us to! This is by far one of our least thematically connected pairings, but also one of our best. Listen and hear for yourself! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you. Theme: “Vintage Education” Kevin M...
Intro: Third Anniversary (Forgottenaut) Special
March 11, 2019 00:00 - 47 minutes - 43.3 MBIt's our third anniversary in this wayback movie machine adventure, so we've decided to listen to our listeners and watch some movies that you -- yes, you! (but not you) -- recommended! That's right, it's also our Forgottenaut special too! We're glad if you've been here at all, and we're especially glad if you've come back for more. But this time you've gotta listen to the episode to hear which movies we're going to discuss. Meaning you've gotta come back in two weeks to actually hear those d...
Discussion: All the President's Men and Dick
February 25, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBThe Oscars are over and President's Day was a week ago, which means it's time for our discussion of this month's pairings -- ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and DICK! How do the movies' respective duos stack up? Are Redford and Hoffman as Woodstein really that good? Does Dick hold up? Join us, won't you? And don't forget to come back in two weeks when we introduce two more movies to each other, but this pairing will by a mystery until you actually listen. Stay tuned! You can also listen to the Forgo...
Intro: All the President's Men and Dick
February 08, 2019 00:00 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBAnd ... we're back! After a month-ish long hiatus and a pair of Cinef#$%eries, it's time to dive back into those movies which we were always meant to see. Just in time for President's Day, we decided it was appropriately inappropriate to cover two movies about a POTUS who is not all that different from the current one. And since Jordan hasn't seen either, it's up to Rob to introduce him and our listeners to cinematic classic ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and cult comedy DICK. So stop reading that f...
Bonus: The Cold Open Spectacular!
January 16, 2019 00:00 - 46 minutes - 21.5 MBDie hard fans may have noticed that we're a bit behind our normal bi-weekly special, but that's only because we're again at our annual hiatus season. We need to recharge our batteries, work on some new stuff, and get ready for the upcoming season of the FFP. So for now we're dropping a special b-b-b-bonus episode featuring our best intro episode cold opens! These are 99% written by our former co-host Josh Taylor, aka the Forgetful Film Critic, and 100% performed by the FFP crew. We love putti...
Cinef#$%ery: The Amazing Spider-Mans
December 23, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 56.2 MBIt's a non-denominational holiday season miracle as Rob and Jordan continue their celebration of Stan Lee by discussing just how f#$%ed both The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Rise of Electro, in some markets)! Directed by Marc Webb (how ironic?) and starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and Denis Leary and Jamie Foxx and Dane Dehaan and Rhys Ifans and Sally Field and Martin Sheen, it's the Spider-Man movies that ... also exist. Enjoy over a nice glass of eggnog or a perfe...
Cinef#$%ery: Fantastic Four and Rise of the Silver Surfer
December 11, 2018 00:47 - 2 hours - 59.6 MBIn honor of Stan "the Man" Lee's memory and his profound effect on pop culture, and Rob and Jordan personally, we're doing a deep dive into how f#$%ed some of his creations have been adapted and how they could have done the characters and their creator justice. We're starting with the Tim Story-directed, Fox-produced FANTASTIC FOUR and FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER! So how cinef#$%ed are these fantastic flops? Listen to find out! And come back in two weeks when we explore the f#$...
Discussion: Bondathon 2018 is Off the Rails!
November 26, 2018 00:00 - 2 hours - 71 MBIf you're full of turkey and stuffing and pie and green bean casserole and just want to wallow in your Thanksgiving coma, we can't imagine a better accompaniment than our super-duper-sized discussion of the movies for this year's Bondathon -- YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, MOONRAKER, and LICENCE TO KILL! We trimmed it down as much as we could, but there's just too much to consume and digest in these three off-the-rails Bond flicks, which is a pretty perfect metaphor for U.S. Thanksgiving. If you don't ...
Intro: Bondathon 2018 is Off the Rails!
November 11, 2018 00:00 - 54 minutes - 24.9 MBCue that legendary theme music! It's November, which means it's time for the FFP's third annual Bondathon! This year's triple threat "pairing" is meant to represent some of the craziest, most dubious (note: not necessarily worst) choices the James Bond franchise has ever produced. With that in mind, Rob is introducing Jordan and special guest Josh Taylor, aka the Forgetful Film Critic, to Sean Connery's YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, Roger Moore's MOONRAKER, and Timothy Dalton's LICENCE TO KILL. Rememb...
Discussion: Feast and Tremors
October 28, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBJust in time for All Hallow's Eve: it's our discussion episode of the Project Greenlight indie franchise starter, FEAST, along with the 1990s cult classic comedy-horror, TREMORS. Creatures coming from underground, creatures coming from unspeakable orifices -- it's a Halloween ... um ... miracle? Did there need to be two more Feasts? Why aren't there even more Tremors? Most important of all, how many degrees of Kevin Bacon can you stand? Boo howdy, you gotta listen to find out! Fair warning, t...
Intro: Feast and Tremors
October 14, 2018 00:00 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MBIt's that spoopy time of year again, so naturally we're introducing each other to some monstrously monsterrific movies -- the last Project Greenlight flick, FEAST, and the classically cultish TREMORS! Monsters from underground, monsters with mysterious origins, and Kevin Bacon and Clu Gulager! What could go wrong? You'll have to listen to find out, and come back in two weeks to hear our discussion of the movies after we've watched them. This month we're also joined by returning guest, Jennif...
Discuss: Brick and Cooties
September 24, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 39.7 MBA day late, but not a dollar short -- it's time to wrap up the back to school season and for the FFP's discussions of Rian Johnson's high school-set neo-noir BRICK and the zombies-invade-elementary school comedy COOTIES. With two 90s child actors in Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Elijah Wood, what could wrong? Spoiler alert! Very little. The boys had a blast watching both ficks and have just as much fun talking about them. Don't believe us? Just listen to find out! Come back in two weeks when Rob ...
Introducing Brick and Cooties
September 10, 2018 00:00 - 41 minutes - 19.2 MBIt's that time of year yet again ... back to school! As part of our ongoing, annual tradition in September, the boys are heading back to both high school and elementary school. No, we're not doing Billy Madison. Rob is introducing Jordan to the modern-day neo-noir classic BRICK (starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and directed by newly infamous Rian Johnson) and the zombies-invade-summer school flick, COOTIES (starring Elijah Wood and Rainn Wilson)! Besides being set in and around schools, what els...
Cinef#$%ery: Van Helsing
August 26, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 36.8 MBWe're continuing our experiment diving into the dregs of cinema with the latest edition of Cinef#$%ery: VAN HELSING! Directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra), starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale, vampires vs. werewolves vs. Frankensteins ... what could go wrong? Oh, well, just about everything that could go wrong, of course. So, just how f#$%ed is this O.G. attempt at a Dark Universe? Listen now to find out! And come back in two weeks to hear ...
Cinef#$%ery: Transformers: The Last Knight
August 12, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 40.1 MBDue to scheduling difficulties this month, the Forgotten Film Pod is doing something a bit different for our next two episodes. We're premiering a new podcast/format that Jordan and Rob have been toying with for a while now ... Cinef#$%ery! A show that tries to explain just how messed up (or f#$%ed) some movies really are. Today, we're discussing Michael Bay's latest entry in the Transformers cinematic universe, TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT! Who is the last night? Where does this fall in the...
Dicussion: Dune and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
July 30, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 40.2 MBIn our intro episode of David Lynch's DUNE and Luc Besson's VALERIAN AND TH CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS, we described the main connective tissue of these movies as being "weird sci-fi." How well does that pre-assessment hold up now that both Rob and Jordan and have seen both movies? Spoiler alert: Pretty well! Just how weird are these flicks, and does that make them any good? You'll have to listen to our discussions to find out! And don't forget to come back in two weeks to hear ... well, you...
Intro: Dune and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
July 16, 2018 00:00 - 59 minutes - 27.3 MBIt's just the two of us -- Rob and Jordan -- for this introduction episode, so we decided it was time to dive into some, frankly, bizarre science fiction movies that need to be seen to be believed. Jordan brings to Rob the first official live-action adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic novel, DUNE, despite the fact that director David Lynch originally wanted his name stricken from the film's record. And Rob brings to Jordan the 2017 adaptation of the long-lasting French comic book, VALERIAN ...
Discussion: Red Dawn (1984) and Battleship
July 02, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 37.2 MBExcited to celebrate the USA's 242nd birthday? We've got the jingoistic, patriotic movie pairing for you -- and you don't even have to dig in to Michael Bay's oeuvre to do so. That's right, the Forgotten FIlm Pod boys and their guests, Nathan and Amelia Headden, are all set to discuss John Milius' classic RED DAWN and Peter Berg's not-as-absurd-as-it-really-probably-should-be adaptation of the board game BATTLESHIP. Starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Grey, Lea...
Intro: Red Dawn (1984) and Battleship
June 18, 2018 00:00 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBAs we gear up and get closer to 'Merica's next big birthday, the boys are introducing each other to the 1984 Red Scare classic, RED DAWN, and the the third or fourth greatest board game adapted movie of all time, BATTLESHIP. We're also joined by members of Operation Every Band: Nathan Headden (co-founder) and Amelia Headden (logo designer), both of whom love the former and only one of whom has seen the latter. So get on your finest fatigues and smear on that war paint, because it's time for ...
Discussion: Supergirl and the Legend of Billie Jean
June 04, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 54.4 MBHelen Slater saves the 80s as we discuss the "classic" superhero film SUPERGIRL and the underrated cult actual classic THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN. How hoot we? Where does Supergirl stand among the Christopher Reeve films of the same period? Is fair fair? Just how great is Billie Jean really (spoiler: it's really great, really)? Listen to our discussion to find out! And come back in two weeks to hear our July 4th-themed intro episode of ... Red Dawn and Battleship! You can also find the Forgot...
Intro: Supergirl and the Legend of Billie Jean
May 21, 2018 00:00 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBIt's another journey back to the best(?) movie decade of them all, the 1980s, of course(!), as Jordan introduces Rob to two of actress Helen Slater's most iconic and defining roles: SUPERGIRL and THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN. The boys are also joined by their occasional producer and friend, Jennifer Olivas, who loves Billie Jean, too! Why did it take us so long to see Supergirl, and are we sure that the legend isn't about the tennis player? You'll have to listen to find out! And come back in two...
BONUS: Avengers: Infinity War
May 07, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 36 MBIt's time for another very special b-b-b-bonus episode of the Forgotten Film Pod as we launch ourselves into a little-seen indie film you may or may not have heard of, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. It's the Russo Bros. culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (so far) and the title couldn't be more on the nose, because not only does there seem to be no end for Marvel in sight, there's also barely an ending to this film! But that's not to say it's bad or we didn't enjoy it, we're just eagerly aw...
Discuss: The Dead Zone and Maximum Overdrive
April 21, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBIt's time for our discussion of the Stephen King-athon we forced ourselves to watch, for good and ill. Join Rob and Jordan, as well as their special guest Josh Taylor (aka the Forgetful Film Critic), as they dissect and discuss David Cronenberg's THE DEAD ZONE and King's own MAXIMUM Overdrive. Are they creepy and scary enough? Was King coked out during the entirety of the 1980s? And, most, importantly, how does the Sheen-Estevez clan make it through? (Spoiler alert: Pretty well!) You can als...
Intro: The Dead Zone and Maximum Overdrive
April 09, 2018 00:00 - 40 minutes - 18.4 MBThe Forgotten Film Pod is back with our slightly new format, and it's almost like we never went away! Josh Taylor, the Forgetful Film Critic himself, joins us as our first official guest, conveniently enough, so we're introducing him (and Rob!) to David Cronenberg's psychic thriller, THE DEAD ZONE, and Stephen King's psychotic directorial debut, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.
