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.

The final part of Issue 61 is a special Spotlight episode focusing on the films of Denis Villeneuve. Returning guest host Calum joins us to examine how this rather understated French Canadian filmmaker has quietly built up arguably the best filmography of the last 15 years. Films like Sicario, Arrival and the two Dune films show his ability to do things few other directors can, and we want to find out how he's done it. We pay particular attention to his mind-bending early independent film Enemy and his hugely ambitious follow up to Ridley Scott's sci classic with Blade Runner 2049.
The other parts of Issue 61 are out now and the next issue of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd will be arriving from June 25th.
