The Mikes are staying home and taking care of the kids with Michael Keaton while they discuss the 1983 film, Mr. Mom, on this episode of Forgotten Cinema.
Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they talk about how this film still largely works even after 40 years. Sure, the stay-at-home dad label isn't as taboo as it once was, but the jokes surrounding taking care of kids, and a house, dealing with juggling family and career is still largely the same. Add to that a fantastic performance by Keaton and the rest of the cast and you've got a real winner. But then why is it forgotten?
Check out the episode, the Mikes will tell you.
So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
