This is not a film that Adam forgot he forgot. Clearly. This is all on Joe, Quentin Tarantino’s seminal, iconic, zeitgeist-changing, comically violent crime flick from 1994.
Starring John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames, it’s a flick of unforgettable moments and seared-in-the-mind dialogue. Not for Joe though.
The duo chat violence in movies, post-modernism, what a great film it is, Tarantino’s baffling insistence on appearing in his own films, and getting waylaid by foot massages along the journey.

67: Almost Famous, Nostalgia and Invisible Sad Boys
The Cameron Crowe directed 2000 nostalgia music flick about a band on the run, starring Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup and Patrick Fugit, and featuring the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Joe & Adam dig into director’s cuts, the fine differences between nostalgia for a general past time versus a nostalgia for being young (with added Chat-GPT for clarity/confusion), and this film’s missing heart of darkness.

66: The Lobster, Colin Farrell’s Triumph of Will, and Lots of Lanthimos
What animal would you get turned into? Joe & Adam ponder The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2015 dry as a bone awkward sci-fi comedy starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.
Is the film all logic brain and no beating heart? There is much discussion of Lanthimos’ tone, and a great divide over whether Poor Things is good or not.
Also: what is the narrative of Farrell’s career, what sound does a lobster make, and what animal is best to get turned into. As well, of course, there’s the usual business of the Box Office Game, and the Forgot You Forgot Picking the Next Film Game.

64: Harry Potters, Twisters, and What’s Been Watched
In this special episode the MYFYF duo chat about the recent movies they’ve seen - but not before Joe tells a tale about his dad’s bedtime stories.
Also, the co-host reflects on the films he watched on his recuperation journey (all the Harry Potters, obviously), while Adam laments his time with Twisters.
Plus plenty more in this not-so special ep that isn’t about movies we forgot we forgot, but just plain old movies.
Email us your films you forgot you forgot suggestions to [email protected]. And follow Adam on Letterboxd @errorofways, he’ll follow back.
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.
