Movies You Forgot You Forgot

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.

147: One Battle After Another: Joe Made Me Watch
Revisiting the most lauded film of 2025, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another (or for the too busy to say things fully: PTA’s OBAA). Joe loved it, saw it twice. Adam was chillier… has he chilled? And what Christopher Nolan got to do with it? Expect to hear all about expectation and a run down of PTA’s oeuvre (love that word.) This is the last in this current solo series, and it’s the best one. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

145: The Seventh Seal: Joe Made Me Watch; plus Scrat’s Woes
Some films carry a weight: it’s a classic; it’s a masterpiece, it’s a classic masterpiece. Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal is one such film, and Joe loves it. Till now, it’s never felt like the right time for Adam to dally with Bergman. Now Joe has made him watch a Knight play chess with Death. This episode comes with no weight, it’s a tale of a man, a film and a rusty nail. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

144: First Blood: Joe Made Me Watch; plus Sir Christopher Nolan calls Homer
This week, Joe made Adam watch First Blood, starring John J Rambo aka Slyvester Stallone. How come 80s action aficionado Adam never watched it? It stirs all sorts of thoughts, not least on loners new in town, righteous kills and how inevitable is it that such films male violent anti-heroes aspirational. Also: Sir Christopher puts in a call to Homer, to check all’s good. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

142: Lion feat. Dev Patel: Joe Made Me Watch
Joe’s busy for a few weeks or so, but he’s getting Adam to watch some films and talk about them. First up for this is 2016’s Lion, directed by Garth Davis and starring Dev Patel. It’s a good flick, well worth watching - but how good? Can Joe guess what Adam will think of it? Got a film you forgot you forgot?

143: Disclosure Day: Joe Made Me Watch
Stephen Spielberg is back to the alien well with 2026’s government chase caper Disclosure Day. Starring Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor. Did Joe really make Adam watch it? How’s Stevie’s new flick match up to his others? Do directors age out? And what’s Toy Story 5 got to do with it all? Find out on the first of these summer specials where Joe Makes Adam Watch A Film, and Adam talks about it - by himself. Usual episodes will return after the World Cup.

141: Alfie, Remakes and What’s Sexy (or Not)
Don’t watch the remake of Alfie starring Jude Law (2004), but do listen to this episode about the remake of Alfie. And do also watch the original Alfie (1966) starring Michael Caine - it’s a bit bleak, but it more than earns its existence, and Adam talks about the far superior original (aren’t they all) a fair bit. Topics in today’s episode: urban legends, Sienna Miller, what is in the original Alfie that’s in the remake, what films are sexy, plus more! Fair warning: It’s quite a rude episode with some tougher topics mentioned. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

139: Blade, The Blood Club & Wesley Snipes
Stephen Norrington's 1998 film Blade is the topic of today's discussion, a movie in which a half-human vampire hunter, played by Wesley Snipes, seeks to foil the plot of mildly-bad vampire villain Dorf. Joe & Adam dive into one of Adam's all time favourites and explore the film from several different angles, including Freudian.

138: A Most Violent Year, Oscar Isaac & Grown Up Movies
Oscar Isaac makes some risky investments and dangerous deals to grow his oil company, in the middle of a most violent year in New York in the early 1980s. Joe & Adam discuss this grown up movie, and also play a couple of IMDB based games.

137: Howl’s Moving Castle, Subtitles vs Dubs, and Favourite Studio Ghiblis
It’s the phenomenal 2004 Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki directed based on the book of the same name flick Howl’s Moving Castle. How could Joe & Adam forget this? Doesn’t matter; they’re glad they did so they got to rewatch it and talk about: the choice between watching subtitled Ghiblis vs English dub versions, the joyful little side characters that invariably pop up in a Miyazaki flick and bindels, plus a sort of connected but not really side chat about The Last Samurai.

136: Space Cowboys, Hollywood beauty & barely talking about the movie
It's the year 2000. Hollywood mega guy Clint Eastwood is releasing a movie starring him and directed by him. He's cast some cool, older guys to be his buddies. That's right, it's Space Cowboys (this isn't a joke). Joe & Adam dive head first into barely talking about the movie at all, but instead discuss: which Friends characters would be which directors? Who would be recast in today's version of Space Cowboys? Where are today's Marcia Gay Hardens? And other such topics. Join the discord: https://discord.gg/b3CUUdPRf7

135: The Constant Gardener, Lots of Ralph, and Plenty of Fiennes
What is a Constant Gardener? Is Ralph Fiennes’ subtle performance a help or a hinderance for a film that is neither satisfyingly edgy nor solidly genre-tastic? Find out for the latest MYFYF episode on the Fernando Meirelles big pharma whistleblower flick, The Constant Gardener (2005). Also starring Rachel Weisz, this is as plum a forgot as you’ll ever likely to see. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

134: Donnie Darko, Different Joes & Soundtracks
Joe & Adam discuss 2001's Donnie Darko, the ultimate DVD movie. What happened to director Richard Kelly? How good is the soundtrack really? And other things, I'm sure.

133: National Treasure, Nic Cage and The Rock
Jon Turteltaub’s National Treasure (2004) gets a good going over. Why is it so long? Why is Sean Bean so good in such a duff flick? Why are Americans obsessed with Freemasons? What bit of the Nic Cage cycle are we in? Oh and an odd phone call from Tommy Lee Jones. All that and more awaits. Got a film you forgot you forgot?

132: Project Hail Mary, Gosling and Fluid Mechanics
It’s a special non-canon episode today, as Joe and Adam each went to see Ryan Gosling’s latest sci-fi blockbuster Project Hail Mary. Or should that be Project Fail Mary? Is it a fine movie? Or a good movie? Or a fine erring on good movie? Or a good erring on very good movie? Also, can Ryan Gosling ‘open’ a movie? And if he can’t, who can? Back to normal next week and: National Treasure!

131: Primer, Mr Anderson & Time Travel
Shane Carruth and his buddy build a time machine for $7,000 in a time when such things were possible. Joe & Adam reflect on Primer, a great or unnecessarily complicated film depending on who you ask. Primer was a darling of Independent cinema in 2004, and holds a place in the hearts of many hard sci-fi fans. This episode includes a discussion about time travel, and a series of impersonations of Hugo Weaving as the Agent from The Matrix.

130: The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship, Beautiful Balrogs and Brave Boromirs
It’s canon episode 100, the listener-picked film: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, released is the hazy mists of time: 2001. The much-loved first film in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth trilogy finally gets its due on MYFF. It’s one of Joe’s faves of all time - he says it’s art. Adam is a little more chilly on it, has this rewatch softened his heart and made him an admirer? They discuss the love and craft that went into the flick, the beautiful Balrog, Sean Bean’s film-stealing Boromir, the wrong lesson Hollywood learned from Lotr’s boffo box office and cultural impact, plus the artistic folly of going back to recapture magic, and lots lots more.

129: The Godfather, Romantic Violence & Daddy Issues
1972's The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is considered one of the greatest films of all time. But is it? Joe & Adam discuss that, plus: does it romanticise patriarchy? Does daddy love us? And if one were to recast a mediocre version of The Godfather in the modern day, which role would Chris Pratt play?
