Double Reel
85 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 days ago -A monthly podcast by two film nerds who don't know any better than you but hope you've run out of other things to listen to.
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 round up of the films we watched (or tried to watch) in between dealing with daily life, 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.
