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 is James Adamson, his imaginatively named son and co-host. 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 tall tales of potentially great films that never got made, overlooked classics you need to see, and rants about remakes that should never have been made at all.

Issue 46 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the fiendish Penalty Shootout Film Quiz. James (no the other one) is yet to win a quiz, with the score currently 5-0 to James (yes that one).
As always our intrepid hosts face off in the format of a penalty shootout (like from the footy) and the winner gets to make the loser watch a film they're going to hate. Will James (no the other one) finally get a win?

Issue 45 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features. This month our theme is films about films and the film industry. Our Classic is Robert Altman's The Player, our Hidden Gem is Tim Burton's lesser-known Ed Wood, the One That Got Away is the epic tale of Orson Welles trying and failing to make a film about a great director trying to make a film, and our Remake Hatewatch is the hateful Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde. At the end we also talk about a remake we'd like to see, of the promising but botched comedy An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn!
