Forgotten Films

In the season 1 finale of Forgotten Films, we discuss the film Herbie: Looking For Love, starring Andrew Dice Clay and Fran Drescher. We also talk about the Amazon acquisition of MGM but we're both too stupid to have any sort of real opinion on it. And guess what, folks? We're revisiting Cinema Island and even making our predictions on this summer's sizzling blockbusters. You won't want to miss it actually.  Music for Forgotten Films provided by ART DLR Here's the link to the picture of the Friends possibly doing cocaine. 

Sam Rogal (Magnet Theater) joins me in Film Nerd Studios to talk about the 2011 period piece Something Maybe Sometimes Always. We discuss the P in V (very nasty), cousin love (second time I think it's been talked about on the podcast), and whispering sweetly.  Then we take a trip to the Writer's Room to rewrite the Mortal Kombat movie. Okay this is a big long writer's room segment because we both like Mortal Kombat and want to see it be better. Alright? Got it? Any questions?  ALSO IMPORTANT: I left the part that I said I would edit in ON PURPOSE! Another important thing: if you have a suggestion for a film you want to hear  to hear us discuss aka make up email me at forgottenfilmspodcast@gmail.com or DM @filmspodcast on Twitter!

Actor and comedian Brendan Goggins joins Simon to be very mean to Simon and to also talk about Ryan's Farm, written and directed by the third Cohen brother, Gary Cohen.

Then, Brendan and Simon enter the writer's room to rewrite Saving Private Ryan to make it less scary.  If you have a film that you want to hear discussed on the podcast, please send the title to forgottenfilmspodcast@gmail.com or dm @filmspodcast on Twitter.
