The Mikes are teaming up with Pat Whalen once again for a trip into a Native American Reservation in Wyoming to investigate a mysterious death. Or...I mean, talk about other people doing that; not them. They just talk movies...not solve murders, like in the 2017 film Wind River . Cory Lambert ( Jeremy Rener ) is a wildlife officer who finds the body of an 18-year-old woman on an American Indian reservation in snowy Wyoming. When the autopsy reveals that she was raped, FBI agent Jane Banner ( Elizabeth Olsen ) arrives to investigate. Teaming up with Lambert as a guide, the duo soon find that their lives are in danger while trying to solve the mystery of the teen's death. Join Mike Butler, Mike Field, and their special guest, Pat, as they discuss what makes Wind River such an amazing and compelling film. That's right. It's a love fest! From the direction and writing of Taylor Sheridan (of Yellowstone fame) to the superb acting turns from both Renner and Olsen, this is a tour de force of talent, including a great almost cameo turn from Jon Bernthal . Wind River is a gripping, stark, engrossing thriller/drama, that the Mikes (and Pat) can't recommend more. So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema . 00:00 - Introduction 02:17 - Film Summary 03:01 - Film Facts 11:23 - Film Discussion 46:55 - Why it's Forgotten 53:47 - Where to Find Us
