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 61 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Remakes Tribunal. First up, our remake on trial: was there any justification for the 2002 reboot of the sci fi classic The Time Machine? Then we offer a parole hearing to a film that didn't work the first time. This month we see if a remake could solve the problems in the Time Traveler's Wife.
The first two parts of the issue are already out - Double Reel Monthly and Classics & Hidden Gems. Next week we'll drop a Spotlight episode looking at the films of Denis Villeneuve.
