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 72 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is Classics and Hidden Gems, where we catch up with a great film one of us hasn't seen before and tell you about a lesser-known film you should check out. Our theme this month is Legal and Courtoom films and for our Classic, Alan finds out whether he can handle the truth when he finally watches A Few Good Men. Then we try and make the case for you to watch the 2019 true life drama Dark Waters.
Double Reel Monthly is already out and next week we'll bring you a Remakes Tribunal on the same theme.
