It\'s time for some Cruise-on-Cruise action this week as the Mikes discuss the 2013 film "Oblivion" starring Forgotten Cinema\'s most repeated superstar; Tom Cruise.

Mike Butler and Mike Field both truly enjoy this movie, but man does it have some issues when it comes to story. From conveniences in dialogue and character motivation for the purpose of driving the story along to inconsistent or nonsensical plot points, the story in this film could probably have used a little more time in the oven to really straighten some things out. But the bones of the story are solid, Tom Cruise does a great job, the score is great, and the art direction and cinematography are phenomenal. The film also gives Cruise one of his best final lines.

Butler and Field will also go into the making of this film, how they did most of what they could using practical effects and props, and some bizarre theories on the true meaning of the film.

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