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.

Continuing Issue 64 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. Now it's the Remakes Tribunal where we put bad filmmaking on trial. First a Remake on Trial, we ask whether the lavish 1990 updated big screen version of Dick Tracy deserves to exist. Then a Parole Hearing for a film that didn't work the first time to see if a remake would fix it's problems. This time it's Disney's unsuccessful attempt to make a sci fi classic, 1979's The Black Hole.
The first two parts of Issue 64 are already out - Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems, and there's a Spotlight Episode out next week.
