Shownotes

The Mikes are taking a look at a David Mamet film that DOES NOT have swearing in it! That's right, Mike Field and Mike Butler are discussing the 1998 Myster-Thriller The Spanish Prisoner.

Listen in as the Mikes talk about Steve Martin playing his first serious on-screen role, the strange dialogue in Mamet films, the lack of mystery in this mystery film, and all the outside forces stacked against this film that made it forgotten.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema
