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.

61.2 Classics and Hidden Gems: Somewhere in Time, Time Trap

Issue 61 of the monthly magazine for the discerning film nerd continues with Classics and Hidden Gems. We're on a time travel theme this month in honour of the impending 40th anniversary of Back to the Future. For our Classic James finally gets round to watching the 1980 film Somewhere in Time, in which Christopher Reeve is understandably prepared to go decades into the past to meet Jane Seymour. For our Hidden Gem we recommend an underseen low budget sci fi thriller, Time Trap.
Next week brings the Remakes Tribunal where we put bad filmmaking on trial. The first part of the issue, Double Reel Monthly is already available to download.
