The first Forgotten Horror started, and we're totally guessing here, when one of us said, 'We should do all horror movies for the month of October' and us thinking that was a completely original idea, did just that. The first year we covered five films. It just so happened that there were five Wednesdays in 2019. We messed around with the opening a bit. Added some Halloween-type music. Butler coined his catchphrase "Keep it spooky, y'all" which Field really does think is corny and dumb, but it stuck, so he's not one to argue with consistency. Plus, the idea of doing a weekly short film (commercial at the time) came to fruition with us doing one for when we discussed the 2011 Fright Night remake called "Hey Guy". For out full slate of the first season of Forgotten Horror, check it out below: The Movies of Forgotten Horror: Season 1 Near Dark We sink our teeth into the 1987 neo-noir, western, vampire flick, Near Dark , starring Adrian Pasdar, Lance Henriksen, and Bill Paxton. Written and directed by Kathryn Bigelow. We dissect the film's impact on modern-day vampire films, character motivations and how much control a director may give their actors to shape their characters. The Mikes also discuss how the cinematography and score help to set a very distinct style for the film.

We discuss the use of lighting and sets to bring the film to life and Field throws out some fun hidden easter eggs in the movie. Butler talks about how the ending to the director's cut version of the film alters its theme and perhaps ruins the development and journey of its one and only protagonist.

Season 18, Episode 8 We have three days to steal 50 cars with Nicolas Cage, but we're waiting until the last minute to do it all in one night! This is Gone in 60 Seconds!!!! Join us as we discuss how orange-tinted the film looks, and why every actor has bleach-blonde hair or frosted tips. More importantly, why don't we? We also talk about the Kip Raines character, played by Giovanni Ribisi, being too all over the place, the uselessness of the love interest — Sway, played by Angelina Jolie, and why despite being (at least on paper) fairly similar, this film didn't have the legs or sequel power that the "The Fast and the Furious" film did.

Season 18, Episode 7 We're joining the Hong Kong police force and teaming up with a loose cannon detective and a too-deep-undercover cop to defeat the Triads in an epic shootout involving long single takes, lots of squibs, and newborn babies. This is John Woo's "Hard Boiled". We'll discuss what makes these action sequences so great and how this film can both be a staple action film, help launch Woo's US film career, and equally not get noticed by larger audiences, especially today in our (purist) action genre drought.

Season 18, Episode 6 Whoa! We're joining forces with Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz and Morgan Freeman to tackle the energy crisis only to be hunted down by Fred Ward and the US government trying to suppress it...typical. That's right, we're discussing the 1996 film Chain Reaction . We both enjoyed this film back in the day, but do we now? From a troubled production with no script and a story-line that isn't what Reeves signed up for, this film had a lot of behind the scenes issues that are evident on the screen. Should you go back and watch it, or does Chain Reaction belong stuck in the 90's?
