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 conclude Issue 49 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with the Remakes Tribunal, where we put bad filmmaking on trial. We're joined once again by noted sci fi author and fellow film nerd Alan Bayles.
The remake under our spotlight is 2003's SWAT, where we ask if this Colin Farrell and Sam Jackson-led reboot of an old TV show deserves to exist or should we wipe it from film history. Then we ask if the fatally flawed and quite racist 1985 police thriller Year of the Dragon should be remade to get it right this time.
The first two parts of Issue 49 are already out - Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems.
