Continuing our theme of films about journalists and reporters, The Remakes Tribunal is in session putting bad filmmaking on trial. On the panel: the Adamsons and sci fi author Alan Bayles.
The remake on trial is State of Play. Was it justified for Hollywood to do a big screen version of Paul Abbott's classic British TV series from just six years before? Then we offer a parole hearing to Sam Peckinpah's disappointing final film The Osterman Weekend. Is there a good film in there somewhere, and would a remake fix its problems?
 
The other parts of Issue 50 are already out: Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems.

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.
