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.

  75.5 Spotlight on "Marmite" Actors: The Lake House, Field of Dreams, Children of Men

  Aug 23, 20261h 34m

  Concluding Issue 75 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is a Spotlight episode about "Marmite" actors who are beloved by the wider film audience but actively disliked by one of our hosts. The twist is each of us has to talk about film featuring this actor that we actually like despite their presence in it. Deborah discusses why she doesn't like Keanu Reeves but loves The Lake House, Alan explains why he was able to make an exception for Field of Dreams even though he can't stand Kevin Costner, and James talks about how Charlie Hunnam very nearly ruined Children of Men. All our previous instalments of this Issue are out now and Issue 76 will be with you soon.

  Aug 8, 20262h 3m

  Continuing Issue 75 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. Now it's time for the Remakes Tribunal, in which Alan and Deborah join James to put two films from 1996 up for judgement. First up a Remake on Trial, where we ask if it was justified to make The Birdcage, an English-language update of the 70s French comedy. Then we offer a Parole Board hearing to a film which didn't work the first time and ask if a remake would fix it's problems. Today it's the critically panned Demi Moore vehicle Striptease. This Issue's Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems are already out and we will have a Spotlight episode coming out next week.

  Issue 75 of Double Reel continues with Classics and Hidden Gems, where we catch up with a great film one of us hasn't seen and tell you about a lesser known film you should give a chance to. The theme is films from 1996 that are having their 30th anniversary, and our Classic is Branagh's lavish and comprehensive screen version of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Then our Hidden Gem is a film not may people saw or liked, but we'd like you to check out the 30s-set superhero film The Phantom. The first part of the Issue is out already, Double Reel Monthly, and next week we'll bring you the Remakes Tribunal.
