Movie Memory Machine is your guide to the forgotten films of the ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, and beyond. Every week, our rogue time machine drops us into a different year to revisit wide-release movies that history left behind—cult favorites, forgotten flops, and everything in between. Along the way, we uncover behind-the-scenes trivia, oddball production choices, and the cultural baggage these movies left behind. Then we decide: does this movie deserve to return to modern memory—or stay lost in time?
