A special bonus episode, for the completist who wants to listen to the extended "Director's Cut" of the guest interview from episode 2, "James Adamson In Conversation With James Adamson." All the best bits are in the main episode but you earn the title of nerdiest listener if you go to the trouble of also listening to this version.

Double Reel Episode 1: Extraction, Lady Vengeance, Blow Out

Greetings film nerds - this is where it all began on Double Reel - on episode 1 the content is great but I was still learning the ropes and the sound and presentation are a bit basic. Stick with it, we get better as we go on!

First episode of a monthly film podcast by a film nerd who doesn't know any better than you but hopes you're running out of things to listen to. James Adamson is a slightly obsessive armchair fan, giving you his take on the world of cinema. He takes a look at an underrated classic that deserves a wider audience - Brian DePalma's Blow Out; a tall tale of a great film that never got made - John Carpenter's unrealised Firestarter project. He rants angrily about the unnecessary remake of Total Recall, and shares what it was like to watch Korean classic Lady Vengeance in between changing baby's nappies.
