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 62 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with a Spotlight episode. Here we take a closer look at John Boorman, but not at his best and most beloved films. No, we wanted to examine why, at the height of his 70s fame, he used his clout and creative freedom to make the two most disastrous films of his career. James is joined by regular Double Reel co host Alan Bayles to pick over the wreckage and see if there's anything worth defending.
