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 are his co hosts: James Adamson, his imaginatively named son, and Alan Bayles, a sci fi author, fellow film nerd and fellow Sunderland fan. 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 classic films we haven't seen yet and overlooked hidden gems you need to see, ask remakes to justify their existence or be wiped from history and offer parole hearings to bad films that need to be remade to fix their flaws.

The Adamsons are back with another edition of the monthly podcast magazine for the discerning film nerd. We deliver the pod in three parts and this is the first, Double Reel Monthly. In the next hour and a bit we aim to set you up for the next four weeks of film watching with news, new releases, reviews of new films we've watched and more besides. As always our aim is to help you escape the confines of the Algorithm and watch something new or different. Coming up:
- A look at some recent news headlines and our pick of the new releases coming up this month;
- Reviews of any new and recent films we've watched;
- Penalty Shootout Film Quiz! James and James have to answer 5 testing quiz questions in turn, and whoever loses the shootout has to watch a film they will hate of the winner's choosing;
- The latest instalment in our Nic Cage project - a film from his canon picked at random
- The latest instalment in our David Cronenberg, looking at the, let's say "unusual" drama M. Butterfly
Part 2 the Features will be out next week and Part 3 the Big Conversation will follow the week after.
