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 51 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd concludes with the Remakes Tribunal. Here we put bad filmmaking on trial, starting with True Lies, which not everyone knows is the Hollywood blockbuster version of a French film. Is it justified or should be wipe it from cinema history? Then it's the Parole Board where we offer a reprieve to a bad film to see if a remake would fix its problems. This month it's the near-legendary Day of the Animals, in which Leslie Nielsen wrestles a bear.
The other two parts of Issue 51 are already out: Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems.
