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.

Continuing Issue 74 of Double Reel, the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. Now it's the Remakes Tribunal where we put two films up for judgement. First up, it's a Remake on Trial and we ask whether they should have made another screen adaptation of Thomas Harris's Red Dragon after Michael Mann's version from the 80s. Then we offer a Parole Board hearing to a film that didn't work the first time and ask if a remake would fix its problems. This time it's The Snowman, in which everyone made a terrible mess of trying to bring Jo Nesbo's Nordic crime fiction antihero Harry Hole to the screen.
