The monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd.
James, Alan and (occasionally) Deborah are film nerds just like you - if you're the kind of film nerd who likes to chat about all things film and get lost down an 80s rabbit hole. We talk about the new films we've been watching lately, classic films we haven't seen yet and overlooked hidden gems you need to see, ask remakes to justify their existence or be wiped from history and offer parole hearings to bad films that need to be remade to fix their flaws. Sometimes we also do a Spotlight episode on a filmmaker or subject we're interested in.
77.4 Spotlight for Cancer Awareness: The Fault in our Stars, 50/50
Issue 77 closes with a special Spotlight episode. October is Cancer Awareness month and Deborah Fox joins to talk about her own experience living with cancer and some films that highlight important issues. Friend of the pod David Bayles joins to talk about the challenges caring for loved ones with cancer, and how this is portrayed on film.
The other parts of Issue 77 are already available to download.

77.3 The Remakes Tribunal: The Wolfman (2010), Wolf
Continuing Issue 77 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is the Remakes Tribunal, still on the theme of werewolves for October's spooky season. First up we put a Remake on Trial and ask if there was any good reason for the updated 2010 version of Universal horror classic The Wolfman. Then we offer a Parole Hearing to a film that didn't work the first time and ask if a remake would fix a problems. This time it's the promising but disappointing Jack Nicholson vehicle Wolf.
The first two parts of Issue 77 are already out - Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems. Next week we have a special Spotlight episode, because as well as being spooky season October is Cancer Awareness Month.
