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 67 continues with the Remakes Tribunal. First we put a Remake on Trial and ask whether there was any justification for a new version of the Krays story with 2015's Legend. Then we offer a Parole hearing to a film which failed and is currently languishing in movie jail. Would a remake fix the problems in the John Woo/Nic Cage war film Windtalkers?
