Double Reel Film Podcast

48.3 The Big Conversation: Films of the 2000s

The Adamsons bring down the curtain on Issue 48 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. The final part is the Big Conversation where this month we discuss our favourite films of the decade 2000 to 2009. 

Similar to our chat in Issue 46 we each nominate our favourite film from each year of the decade, and discuss which of them should be named best film of that year. Unlike last time we're allowing Best Picture Oscar winners from last year. 

Our previous instalments from Issue 48 are out now - Double Reel Monthly with news, new releases, reviews of new films and the latest in our annual movie projects; and the Features in which we discuss a Classic, a Hidden Gem, our final One That Got Away, a Remake Hatewatch and a remake we'd like to see of a film that didn't work the first time.

Our next Issue is in development and will start to land in your podcast app from May 25th.

48.2 The Features: Touch of Evil, Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, Scorsese's House of Gucci, Orca, Tron: Legacy

Issue 48 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features. The Classic we've just got round to seeing is Touch of Evil, and the Hidden Gem we think you should check out is Ghost Dog: the Way of the Samurai. Our final ever One That Got Away discusses how Martin Scorsese nearly made House of Gucci 20 years before Ridley Scott did it, and our Remake Hatewatch looks at Orca, 1977's blatant rip off of Jaws. Finally we look at the flawed but fascinating Tron Legacy and ask whether that should be remade better this time.

 

Part 1 of this month's issue Double Reel Monthly is already out, and next week we'll bring you the Big Conversation.

48.1 Double Reel Monthly: Immaculate, Ricky Stanicki, Road House Morris Men, The Dark Knight, Ladybird

Another packed issue of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd kicks off with April's Double Reel Monthly, covering news, new releases, reviews of new films and how we're getting in with our annual film projects. New films include Immaculate, Ricky Stanicki, Road House, a catch up on the Beekeeper and two films featuring friend of the pod Jamie B Chambers: Morris Men and The Shamrock Spitfire.

 

Next week we'll bring you the next part of the issue, the Features.

47:3 The Big Conversation: The Oscars 2024

The Adamsons bring Issue 47 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd to a close with the Big Conversation. As always we aim to entertain you by taking a longer look at a big topic from the film world, and this month we mark the end of awards season with our Oscar Chat.

We look at the big winners and losers, how we thought it went and whether 2024 was a good year, and what's next for the major players among the nominees.

 

The rest of Issue 47 is already out, including Double Reel Monthly, The Penalty Shootout Film Quiz and The Features.

47:2 The Features: Audition, Steel Rain, Wong Kar-Wai's The Lady From Shanghai, Oldboy Remake

Issue 47 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features, and for this issue we are focusing on East Asian cinema. Our Classics and Recommended is the notorious Takashi Miike psychological horror Audition, followed by our Hidden Gem the Korean cold war thriller Steel Rain. Our One that Got Away discusses how legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai spent years nearly making international spy thriller The Lady From Shanghai with Nicole Kidman, and our Remake Hatewatch is the ill-advised US remake of Oldboy. As a treat at the end we discuss how we'd like to see a remake of one of the ninja films of the 80s.

 

Our latest Double Reel Monthly and Penalty Shootout Film Quiz are out now, and our Big Conversation  will be out in a week's time.

Double Reel Presents: Penalty Shootout Film Quiz March 2024

Issue 47 of the monthly magazine film podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the latest Penalty Shootout Film Quiz, the fiendish and needlessly complicated battle of trivia skills between your co-hosts.

The score is 5-0 to James (no the other one) going into this month's instalment, with James (yes that one) still desperate to get a win on the board. The forfeits remain - James (no the other one) will have to watch The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou if he loses, while James (yes that one) is facing a viewing of The Room.

 

In a few days we'll release the next instalment of this issue, the Features.

47.1 Double Reel Monthly: Dune Part 2, The Zone of Interest, Madame Web, The Kitchen, Nomadland, Batman Begins

The Adamsons are back with the latest issue of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd.

In a few days we will release the next part: the latest Penalty Shootout Film Quiz

46.3 The Big Conversation: Films of the 2010s

Issue 46 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd concludes with the Big Conversation. This month we talk about our favourite films of the 2010s. We imposed a few rules on ourselves for the chat: We could only pick one best film of each year in the decade; we each had to suggest a nomination and duke it out over which went in; and Best Picture Oscar winners were admissible. This took out some of our favourite films such as 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight and Moonlight but mostly it freed us up to put our favourite films up where they belong.

 

The other parts of issue 46 are already out, including Double Reel Monthly, the Penalty Shootout Film quiz and the features.
