The monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. James Adamson is a slightly obsessive armchair fan, giving you his take on the world of cinema. So is James Adamson, his imaginatively named son and co-host. As well as a look at news, new releases and how we're fitting in movie watching with our busy exciting lives, we look into tall tales of potentially great films that never got made, overlooked classics you need to see, and rants about remakes that should never have been made at all.

Issue 47 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features, and for this issue we are focusing on East Asian cinema. Our Classics and Recommended is the notorious Takashi Miike psychological horror Audition, followed by our Hidden Gem the Korean cold war thriller Steel Rain. Our One that Got Away discusses how legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai spent years nearly making international spy thriller The Lady From Shanghai with Nicole Kidman, and our Remake Hatewatch is the ill-advised US remake of Oldboy. As a treat at the end we discuss how we'd like to see a remake of one of the ninja films of the 80s.
Our latest Double Reel Monthly and Penalty Shootout Film Quiz are out now, and our Big Conversation will be out in a week's time.

Issue 47 of the monthly magazine film podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the latest Penalty Shootout Film Quiz, the fiendish and needlessly complicated battle of trivia skills between your co-hosts.
The score is 5-0 to James (no the other one) going into this month's instalment, with James (yes that one) still desperate to get a win on the board. The forfeits remain - James (no the other one) will have to watch The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou if he loses, while James (yes that one) is facing a viewing of The Room.
In a few days we'll release the next instalment of this issue, the Features.

46.3 The Big Conversation: Films of the 2010s

Issue 46 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd concludes with the Big Conversation. This month we talk about our favourite films of the 2010s. We imposed a few rules on ourselves for the chat: We could only pick one best film of each year in the decade; we each had to suggest a nomination and duke it out over which went in; and Best Picture Oscar winners were admissible. This took out some of our favourite films such as 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight and Moonlight but mostly it freed us up to put our favourite films up where they belong.
The other parts of issue 46 are already out, including Double Reel Monthly, the Penalty Shootout Film quiz and the features.

As always our intrepid hosts face off in the format of a penalty shootout (like from the footy) and the winner gets to make the loser watch a film they're going to hate. Will James (no the other one) finally get a win?
