On this week's episode we look at a film with big stars and a renowned director, the notoriously fizzled at the box office. Director Mike Nichols tries his hand at making a slapstick comedy and brings Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, and Stockard Channing along for the ride in 1975's The Fortune.

This week, we watch the classic bottle movie where 12 humans with bias come to realize the baggage they bring to their view of the world. This film is understandably so high up on the list because of its message of understanding, as well as its entertaining thriller vibe. 12 Angry Men (1957), directed by Sidney Lumet.

All movie geeks have those movies that we've purchased down at the used DVD store, but just haven't gotten around to watching yet. So this week Todd shares some thoughts on four movies that have been sitting on the shelf for a while, which he finally got around to watching. We start with an early appearance by Rosario Dawson in The First 20 Million is Always the Hardest. Next we go back to the 60's as Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin star in If a Man Answers. After that we look at one of the last films to star Rodney Dangerfield, The 4th Tenor. Then we close things out with the coming-of-age drama Staying Together. We also have some trivia questions along the way, and still make time for a movie recommendation to close the show. 

On this week's episode we have a first-time guest! Jon Cross from the After Movie Diner, as well as the new PM Entertainment Podcast stops by to look at wild and crazy Australian film that was actually shot in New Zealand.  Join us as we discuss 1981's Race for the Yankee Zephyr. The film features Ken Wahl, Lesley Ann Warren, George Peppard, and a constantly half-drunk Donald Pleasance. We've also got our movie recommendations and our trivia game segment! Don't miss this one!

On this week's episode we will witness the power of rap music as we look at the 1985 Cannon production Rappin'. Austin Trunick, author of the Cannon Film Guide series of books joins us for this in-depth discussion. He also tries his hand at some Rappin' inspired trivia, and, of course, we have our usual movie recommendations. 

On this week's episode, we get a World War II thriller where the German's launch an elaborate scheme to find out inside scoop on the D-Day invasion. James Garner, Eva Marie Saint, and Rod Taylor star in the 1964 film 36 Hours. MovieRob from The MovieRob Minute is our guest this week. In addition to our main discussion, we also have our movie recommendations and trivia game. 

This week, we watch last years winner of the Best International Film academy award. This film is a passion project from renowned Brazilian director, who spent 7 years making this film, which is a true story about a family he knew when he was a child, and the events that unfolded to that family during the military occupation of Rio De Janeiro in the 70's. I'm Still Here (2024), directed by Walter Salles.

This is an awesomely fun episode. Brian is joined by The Good Will Podcasting crew: Dan, aka Reel Takes; Stone, aka Medicalmovieman; Conor, aka Movieshark. He's also joined by ole pal Adam, aka Sunset Loner Cinema, and newcomer Jay, aka Cinema Coconut, for the summer movie wager. The Summer Movie Wager was created by the awesome guys over at The Filmcast. We've copied their format and would appreciate it if you sent them love by listening to their episode. You can find the history of the game and play along at thesummermoviewager.com. The goal is to predict the highest-grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, in the correct order. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager will begin on May 1, 2025, and last through September 1, 2025, Labor Day, as usual.Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules:-If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it.-If your picked movie for 2-9 is correct, you score 10 points for it.-If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it.-If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it.-If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it.-If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it.-For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied that assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead, you only get 13 points for it.

On this week's episode we take a look at a British family film from actor/director Lionel Jeffries. Tony Cogan from Coog's Reviews stops by to look at the 1972 part ghost story, part time travel film The Amazing Mr. Blunden. We also have our movie recommendations and trivia game.

David, Devindra, and Jeff investigate the political conspiracy of Zero Day, speak their minds on the post-apocalyptic film Azrael, and tap into natural wonder with The Americas.

It's time for some good old fashioned city stomping on this week's episode. Toby Roan from The Hannibal 8 returns to the show to discuss a lesser-known kaiju creature in 1967's Gappa: The Triphibian Monster. We've also got our movie recommendations and some giant monster-themed trivia.

This week, we move on to Part 2 of the final film of the highest rated trilogy of all time. These films condense Tolkien's novels into accessible blockbusters that don't sacrifice depth. They also continues to have a tremendous impact on the artistry in filmmaking as well as in pop culture. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), directed by Peter Jackson.

On this week's episode, we're doing something a bit different.  This time, Todd takes a look at four, yes four, films that have been on the list of potential candidates for the podcast, but just never quite made the cut. First up we have Malicious, a 1995 erotic thriller starring Molly Ringwald. We follow that up with the 1988 kiddie musical The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. Next up is the 1971 film Star Spangled Girl, based on a play by Neil Simon. Then we finish things up with the 1977 Tim Conway comedy The Billion Dollar Hobo. There is no guest this time, just Todd sharing some of his basic thoughts on each of these films. We do still have some trivia questions for our listeners to play along with, and movie recommendation at the end.

On this week's episode, we finally take a moment to celebrate the late Gene Hackman. Richard Winters from Scopophilia returns to the show to discuss the 1969 film The Gypsy Moths. It features an early supporting role for Hackman, with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr reuniting as the big names in the cast. In addition to our discussion, we also have our movie recommendations and, of course, our trivia game.

This week, we continue with the second film in the highest rated trilogy of all time. These films condense Tolkien's novels into accessible blockbusters that don't sacrifice depth. They also continues to have a tremendous impact on the artistry in filmmaking as well as in pop culture. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), directed by Peter Jackson.

On this week's episode we zoom into the world of auto racing with a 1973 biographical drama about driver Junior Johnson. Simon Appleton from The Movie Moustache joins us to look at Jeff Bridges in The Last American Hero. Of course, in addition to the discussion, we also have our trivia game and movie recommendations. So buckle up, this one's a wild ride!

With the news that Wings Hauser had passed away, we quickly shifted gears and decided to cover a Wings movie episode on this week's episode. Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur is back with us as we look at the 1989 film LA Bounty, featuring Sybil Danning in an almost wordless performance.

Part 3! This week, we dive into the highest rated trilogy of all time. These films condense Tolkien's novels into accessible blockbusters that don't sacrifice depth. They also continues to have a tremendous impact on the artistry in filmmaking as well as in pop culture. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), directed by Peter Jackson.

On this week's episode of the Forgotten Filmcast we take a look at a film from writer/director Larry Cohen. Eric Roberts, James Earl Jones, Janine Turner, and even Stan Lee show up in 1990's The Ambulance. Bubbawheat from It's Time to Rewind is our guest as we discuss this forgotten thriller. We also have our movie recommendations and our trivia game!

Part 2! This week, we dive into the highest rated trilogy of all time. These films condense Tolkien's novels into accessible blockbusters that don't sacrifice depth. They also continues to have a tremendous impact on the artistry in filmmaking as well as in pop culture. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), directed by Peter Jackson.

On this week's episode we dive into the world of 90's action. Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl joins us to look at when Paramount tried to make Jeff Speakman the next big action star. Get ready for 1991's The Perfect Weapon! We also have our movie recommendations and our trivia game. 

On this week's episode we journey into the world of Blaxploitation cinema for one of the first films to star athlete-turned-actor Fred Williamson. Aaron Neuwirth from Out Now with Aaron and Abe joins us to look at 1972's The Legend of Black Charley. In addition to the main discussion, we also spend a bit of time geeking out over Aaron's new podcast, 2 Black Guys Talk Godzilla. We also have our movie recommendations and the new trivia game segment. 

It's been awhile since we've done a pre-code film on the show, but this week we remedy that problem. Howard Casner from Pop Art returns to the show to discuss 1932's Forbidden, from director Frank Capra. It stars Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou, and Ralph Bellamy. Beyond the main discussion, we've also got our movie recommendations and the trivia game. So join us for some scandalous pre-code fun. 

This week, we watch the Academy Award nominated official submission from Germany, that is actually an Iranian made film that was filmed entirely in secret and made it necessary for the director and many of the people who worked on the film to flee Iran. It is a very unique film in the way it was made, it shows some shocking real footage of the 2022 protests in Iran, and is worth a watch for the subject matter alone. The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024), directed by Mohammad Rasoulof.

This week, we watch a dumpster fire of a film that Netflix managed to buy its way to a nearly record setting number of Oscar nominations. This film is not just poorly made in every respect, it also exploits every topic it decides to shove into its fractured story. This is the opposite of the film we need these days. Emilia Perez (2024), directed Jacques Audiard.

On this episode of the Forgotten Filmcast, we look at what may be the most forgotten film we've ever discussed on the show. It's a late 80's oddity featuring a rare acting performance by none other than Bob Dylan. Join us as Andy Goulding returns to the show to look at 1987's Hearts of Fire. We probably spend more time talking about this film than anyone ever has in the whole history of cinema! Plus, we have our usual movie recommendations, as well as the new trivia segment.

This week, we watch one of the films nominated Best International Films Academy Award. This film is best if you watch without knowing anything about it at all, so we'll just say this - Watch it, but only if you can tolerate every genre of movie that exists. If you don't tolerate some genres, then you may have a bad time. The Girl with the Needle (2024), directed Magnus von Horn.

On this episode of the Forgotten Filmcast we go deep beneath the ocean for some 70's disaster film chaos. Dave Anderson from Free Kittens Movie Guide stops by to discuss the 1978 submarine film Gray Lady Down, starring Charlton Heston, David Carradine, Stacy Keach, Ned Beatty, and many more. Of course we have our movie recommendations and the new trivia segment.

This week, we watch the film that won the the Palm D'or at this years Cannes Film Festival and is also up for 6 Oscars. This film split our opinions, but we could all agree that Mikey Madison is understandably a favorite for the Best Actress award. Anora (2024), directed Sean Baker

Get ready for a bit of Van-Damage on this week's episode of the Forgotten Filmcast, as Todd is joined by Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur to look at the 1996 film Maximum Risk. It's director Ringo Lam's first US feature, as well as his first collaboration with Jean-Claude Van Damme. We also have our movie recommendations as well as a trivia segment all themed around the Muscles from Brussels. 

This week, we watch the gothic horror / fantasy that was for some reason correctly released on Christmas day. Eggers fourth film is also currently his highest grossing (and climbing), and it might be due to the fact that it is his most beautiful and straightforward. Nosferatu (2024), directed Robert Eggers.

This week the Forgotten Filmcast journeys into the world of spaghetti westerns with a 1970 film directed by actor Vic Morrow. James Garner takes on a western role that is quite a departure from his famous western hero Maverick in A Man Called Sledge.  Nick Rehak from Play MST For Me joins us for this discussion. We also have our movie recommendations and the new trivia segment. 

After taking a month off for the holidays, we're back to look at another one of the films that time forgot. This time, we're joined by Jay Cluitt from Deep Blue Sea the Podcast to look at the 1969 Burt Reynolds film Shark! It's a film that had a bit of controversy surrounding it, as false rumors swirled suggesting that a real-life fatal shark attack ended up in the film.  We dig deep into the film, offer our usual film recommendations, and add a new trivia segment to the podcast.

David, Devindra, and Jeff continue their look back at the films of 2024 and discuss: Honorable mentions Biggest disappointments Favorite piece of non-movie entertainment in 2024 Biggest movie they didn't get Biggest movie we didn't get Best movie of 2025  Thanks to our SPONSORS:  DUER: Go to shopduer.com/filmcast to get 20% off your first purchase.

You can find the history and play along at http://www.thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for maintaining the site!) The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, IN THE CORRECT ORDER. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager began on May 2, 2024 (with the release of The Fall Guy) and lasted through September 2, 2024, Labor Day, as usual.  Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules: If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it. If your picked movie for 2-9  is correct, you score 10 points for it. If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it. If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it. If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it. If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it. For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it.
