The Mikes are kicking off season 20 with Brad Pitt...in space!
Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the 2019 science fiction "Apocalypse Now" inspired "Ad Astra" also starring Tommy Lee Jones, written and directed by James Gray.
Butler finds the movie slowly, emotionless, with unexplained story beats, dumb character decisions, and one of the worst voiceovers of all time. Field agrees, but thinks Butler is wrong anyway; because it wouldn't be Forgotten Cinema if he didn't.
So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
