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 69 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is Classics and Hidden Gems and the theme for this month is Westerns. We're joined by special guest David Bayles (Alan's brother), and first up for our Classic Alan and I finally sit down to watch the iconic John Ford/John Wayne epic The Searchers. Then we tell you about a lesser known western that deserves your attention - the Aussie-American hybrid Quigley Down Under starring Tom Selleck.
Double Reel Monthly is already out and next week we'll bring you the Remakes Tribunal.
