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.

20: The American, distracted by George Clooney, and European sensibilities
Nov 13, 2023
Show notes
Joe & Adam delve into The American, Anton Corbijn's low-key thriller from 2011. Never mind George, the film is gorgeous to look at, but Joe has all kinds of nitpicks, spanning such trivialities as the star-power of 'Clooney', to the very tone of the flick. Such downbeatery doesn't keep Adam down though, oh no, he loved it, and ponders who's the modern-day Clooney.

Nov 06, 2023

Joe and Adam discuss the 2007 sci-fi sort-of-horror film Sunshine, starring Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Chris Evans and more. The pair dig into genre; what is a sci-fi? what is a space opera? what is a Star Wars? They also dabble in screenwriter Alex Garland's response to the film, and Joe comes up with a better ending.

18: Logan Lucky, Channing Tatum, and why Soderbergh is great
Oct 30, 2023
Show notes
Joe & Adam take this 2017 motion picture for a spin, but get waylaid by shushing in cinemas, the difficulty of recommending things to people and a sad tale about Adam not having a favourite animal. Cinema-wise, they do have a meaty chat about films they'd drop everything to go and see, which is nice.

Oct 23, 2023
Show notes
How could anyone forget such a striking film, let's find out. Joe & Adam ponder the meatloaf in 2011 flick Melancholia, they wonder about weddings and dabble with depression, and, as ever, stray far off topic.

Oct 16, 2023
Show notes
Joe & Adam dive head first into the 2003 adaptation of Dennis Lehane's novel Mystic River and ponder the journeyman status of Eastwood, not before they get waylaid by an apology to Bradley Cooper, and hugely sidetracked by a thick slice of Oscar chat.
