Issue 40 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd starts here! As usual we're releasing it in three parts through the month to keep your feed fed regularly, and we begin with Double Reel Monthly. It's a bumper episode thanks to a long discussion on Oppenheimer, as well as our usual look at news, new releases, reviews of other new films including Barbie and Heart of Stone and the fiendish Penalty Shootout Film Quiz. We finish with our year-long projects Legal Cage of Consent in which James (no the other one) watches a Nic Cage film picked for him at random by the internet, and James (yes that one) with The Cronenberg Institute which this month features Robert Pattinson in Cosmopolis.

Next week we will bring you our regular Features episode and the following week it will be the Big Conversation.

40.2 The Features: Rio Bravo, American Made, John Boorman’s Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian, Last Action Hero

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.
