Welcome to the home of forgotten films. Each week, Joe Devine & Adam Richmond discuss a different film that they’ve seen before, but forgotten existed. They discuss cinema, memory, culture and history – as well as play silly games about cheese, budgets, and re-casting.
Listeners needn’t have seen the film, but are welcome to watch (or re-watch) before episodes for a different perspective. And at the end of each show, Adam & Joe read out forgotten film lists to each other, to find the film that becomes the focus for next week’s episode.
35: Passengers, sultry sci/fi, and the Pratt problem
Mar 12, 2024
Show notes
Joe ties himself in knots about the male gaze, solves how the story could be a helluva lot better and unleashes unholy hell on Pratt. Adam ponders how the flick should have been a saucier 90s erotic thriller in the vein of Dead Calm.

34: The Oscars Special
Mar 05, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam trawl through the history of the Academy Awards to find the most forgettable Oscar winning movies. If both hosts have the same film on their lists, however, they lose!
33: The Thomas Crown Affair, heisting art, and sexy bits
Feb 27, 2024
Show notes

32: Constantine, horror vs fantasy, and Keanu Reeves
Feb 19, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam apply themselves to the 2005 film Constantine, directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Keanu Reeves and Rachael Weisz. Discussion includes: is all horror fantasy? Opening cans in the cinema. And why everyone who thinks Keanu Reeves is a bad actor is wrong and stupid.

31: The Italian Job, cast your heist movie, who’s the man
Feb 12, 2024
Show notes
It's Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and Jason Statham in the most boring of heist gangs ever, in this 2003 F Gary Gray directed Oceans 11 knock-off: The Italian Job. Joe really likes this film and argues its merits, while Adam moans as per. But what actors would make up their heist movie? And what would the vibe be? Send us your emails to moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com: tell us your made-up Dune character name (Costan Took!); tell us how Jumper could be improved; tell us what we got wrong; tell us your Movies You Forgot You Forgot.

30: Dune, space fantasy, Tolkien vs Herbert
Feb 05, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam set off for Arrakis and marvel at the splendid visuals and all-star cast of this sci-fi fantasy epic... but struggle a bit with the simple yarn and the point of it all. Who is the One? How will the story pay off in Dune part two? How do you pronounce 'Bautista'? This and more in our very own over-long piece of content. Send us your emails to moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com: tell us cheeses and their director equivalents; tell us your heist teams; tells us your Movies You Forgot You Forgot. Also, follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways, he will follow you back.
29: Role Models, man-child movies, Bill Burr & Louis CK
Jan 29, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam ponder on David Wain’s Role Models (2008), and get hung up on the man-child genre.
28: The Fighter, dysfunctional families, making the bleak British version
Jan 23, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam hark back to 2010 and David O Russell's The Fighter; a film that insisted it was canon during awards season, but has since faded from view. Or so they say. The flex on class and moot what a British version of similar film would be a la Shane Meadows. Also: can it be not Hollywood when it is Hollywood? Is Cardiff South of London? And much, much more. Send us your emails to moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com: tell us cheeses and their director equivalents; tell us your heist teams; tells us your Movies You Forgot You Forgot. Also, follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways, if you like tracking what films he's watching.
27: The Beach, reading the book first, and Americanising things
Jan 15, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam chew on this annoying sandy bum-crack of a flick, directed by Danny Boyle, released in 2000, adapted from Alex Garland's novel. They chat DiCapricorn's career among other things. Send us your emails to moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com: tell us what cheese is which director/actor; tell us your dream heist team and its general vibe; or just try and catch us out on Movies We Forgot We Forgot. Also, follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways, if that's your tempo.
26: Saltburn Special / Joe’s Apology
Jan 01, 2024
Show notes
Joe & Adam record a special New Year's Day edition of the podcast to make up for Joe ruining the recording of the Lord of the Rings rewatch episode. Fear not, Adam had just watched Saltburn, a darkly comic riff on Tom Ripley, an ideal flick to gab about. The pair also reflect on other recent viewings, such as Passages, a lovely little film on many lists of the year; plus, Maestro, Roman Holiday and Adam's favourites of the year (that he's seen).
