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.

Continuing our theme of films about journalists and reporters, The Remakes Tribunal is in session putting bad filmmaking on trial. On the panel: the Adamsons and sci fi author Alan Bayles.
The remake on trial is State of Play. Was it justified for Hollywood to do a big screen version of Paul Abbott's classic British TV series from just six years before? Then we offer a parole hearing to Sam Peckinpah's disappointing final film The Osterman Weekend. Is there a good film in there somewhere, and would a remake fix its problems?
The other parts of Issue 50 are already out: Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems.
