Podcast Overview

In our opinion, movies can be found in one of two realms. The realm of The Renown: Those active in the minds of pop culture, your masterpieces, your witty comedies, your impactful horror. There are even those so bad they’re good: cult classics. This is not a show about those movies. Instead we bravely venture into the realm of The Forgotten. We plummet the depths of cinema, searching amidst the left behind, the 7th at the box office and bottom of the bargain bin. We seek out neglected films to find the ones worth salvaging from oblivion and banish the unworthy back to the abyss. What hidden gems will we find on our exploration? What mediocre plotlines will we unearth? And what artifacts, that may at first have been overlooked, will we reclaim?

Playing It Cool (2014)

The year is 2014 and the world was going through a romcom deadzone. Was this genre too much for the average audience? Was romance too good for comedy? Was love dead during the 2010's??? This movie glimpses at the cynicism that may have been plaguing the millennials psyche, because it sure feeds into it! Chris Evans plays a screenwriter tasked to write a script for a romcom but he doesn't even believe in - wait for it- love. Ruh roh! However he meets Michelle Monaghan's character that's just as sardonic as he is. Oh boy! The two have a will-they-won't-they dalliance and we had to watch it. So join Wesley, Sam, Peter and Lily as we determine whether this flick has potential or if we should leave it in that friend-zone we call Obscurity.

But the increasingly petulant star's ego, arrogance and womanizing threaten his rise to the top. The gang takes a crack at a classic that may have more to day about today than the creators could ever know.
