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.

Issue 44 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with a very Ridley Scott themed episode. Our Classic is his feminist road movie Thelma & Louise, our Hidden Gem is his less heralded debut The Duellists, The One That Got Away explores how Kubrick (one of Scott's idols) failed to get a Napoleon film off the ground 50 years before Sir Ridley made his version, and our Remake Hatewatch asks why Exodus Gods and Kings bothered to try and revive the Moses story. As a special treat at the end we suggest a remake to fix all the flaws in Prometheus.
The previous parts of Issue 44 are out now: Double Reel Monthly and the Penalty Shootout Film Quiz. Next week we close out this issue with a Ridley Scott-themed Big Conversation.
