Double Reel Film Podcast

Double Reel Presents: Legal Cage of Consent

A special bonus anthology episode featuring all the films James (no the other one) discussed in his special project for 2023. For every month of the year he got the mighty online Nic Cage randomiser to select a film for him to watch then told us about it. Whether it was good Cage, bad Cage or just paying the bills Cage, we covered it for you.

Our other special project The Cronenberg Institute will be available soon.

44.3 The Big Conversation: Top Ten Ridley Scott Films

The Adamsons conclude Issue 44 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with the Big Conversation, where we dig into a topic from the film world in more detail. In keeping with our overall theme this month we discuss and agree Double Reel's Top 10 Ridley Scott Films.

The other parts of Issue 44 are already available to download including Double Reel Monthly, Penalty Shootout Film Quiz and the Features. Soon we will have some bonus episodes available with the collected films on our year long projects Legal Cage of Consent and The Cronenberg Institute.

44.2 The Features: Thelma & Louise, The Duellists, Kubrick’s Napoleon, Exodus Gods & Kings, Prometheus

Issue 44 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with a very Ridley Scott themed episode. Our Classic is his feminist road movie Thelma & Louise, our Hidden Gem is his less heralded debut The Duellists, The One That Got Away explores how Kubrick (one of Scott's idols) failed to get a Napoleon film off the ground 50 years before Sir Ridley made his version, and our Remake Hatewatch asks why Exodus Gods and Kings bothered to try and revive the Moses story. As a special treat at the end we suggest a remake to fix all the flaws in Prometheus.

The previous parts of Issue 44 are out now: Double Reel Monthly and the Penalty Shootout Film Quiz. Next week we close out this issue with a Ridley Scott-themed Big Conversation.

Double Reel Presents: Penalty Shootout Film Quiz December 2023

Issue 44 of the monthly magazine film quiz for the discerning film nerd continues with the Penalty Shootout Film Quiz, the fiendishly complicated and keenly contested test of film trivia prowess.

The Adamsons face off to see who will win the quiz question shootout, with a forfeit awaiting the loser in the form of a film they really don't want to see, vindictively selected for them by the winner. This month James (no the other one) will watch Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou if he loses, while James (yes that one) will be forced to watch the notorious 2000s film parody Disaster Movie. The score currently stands at 5-0 to James (no the other one) so we all know which way the betting odds are leaning.

Double Reel Monthly no 44 is already out to listen to and next week we'll bring you the Features.

44.1 Double Reel Monthly: Napoleon, Hunger Games Songbirds & Snakes, Dream Scenario, The Rock, Videodrome

43 3 The Big Conversation: Bucket List Cinema

The Adamsons conclude Issue 43 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with the Big Conversation. This month our cinematic deep dive discussed our movie watching Bucket Lists - the films you want to try and watch on the big screen at least once in your live. We talk about bucket list films we've already seen, films we dream of seeing at the cinema one day, and the films we think should be on everyone's bucket list.

The other parts of this month's issue are already available: Double Reel Monthly, Penalty Shootout Film Quiz and the Features.

43.2 The Features: Brotherhood of the Wolf, Rescue Dawn, Spielberg’s Trial of the Chicago 7, The Invasion, Hancock

Issue 43 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features. Our Classic is bonkers French period action horror The Brotherhood of the Wolf; the Hidden Gem is Werner Herzog's Rescue Dawn; The One That Got Away features Spielberg's attempt to make The Trial of the Chicago 7; our Remake Hatewatch is the superflous 2007 version of The Invasion; and finally we ask for a remake of the superhero comedy Hancock.

 

The firsty two parts of this issue are already out: Double Real Monthly No.43 and the latest Penalty Shootout Film Quiz. In a week's time we will conclude this month's issue with the Big Conversation.

Double Reel Presents: Penalty Shootout Film Quiz November 2023

Another round of the fiendish Penalty Shootout Film Quiz, where the Adamsons battle it out to see who has the best knowledge of cinematic trivia. The winner gets to force the loser to perform a forfeit and watch a film they're really going to hate. The score is currently 5-0 to James (no the other one) and James (yes that one) to claw his way back into contention.

Last month the loser had to watch Uwe Boll's horrific Alone in the Dark. This month, James (no the other one) will have to avoid the film he's successfully avoided for months now - Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. James (yes that one) will have to watch Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

 

Our latest episode Double Reel Monthly is already out now, and the Features will be released on December 2nd.
