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 58 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Remakes Tribunal, where we put bad filmmaking on trial. In keeping with our Disaster Movie theme for this month, our remake on trial is the 2006 film Poseidon. Was there any justification for this CGI-laden update of the 1972 classic The Poseidon Adventure? Then we offer a Parole Board hearing for a film that didn't work the first time. Would a remake fix all the problems with Irwin Allen's 1980 clunker When Time Ran Out?
Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems are already out for this issue, and we have a special Spotlight episode on David Fincher coming in a week's time.
