Double Reel Film Podcast

Author: The Adamsons

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 are his co hosts: James Adamson, his imaginatively named son, and Alan Bayles, a sci fi author, fellow film nerd and fellow Sunderland fan. As well as a look at news, new releases and how were fitting in movie watching with our busy exciting lives, we look into 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.

68.4 Spotlight on Alternative Christmas Films: Krampus (2015), Violent Night
Episode 108
Thursday, 15 January, 2026

Thought Christmas was over? Think again. Whether you love Christmas and you're trying to keep it going or you've had enough for one year and you want to exorcise the spirit, we've got a January treat for you. Returning guest and author Deborah Fox joins Alan and James to talk about alternative Christmas films. In Krampus a terrifying spirit from the old country punishes those who don't respect the festive season; and in Violent Night Santa Claus is drunk, embittered and on the verge of quitting until a hostage situation calls for his particular set of skills. This concludes Issue 68 of Double Reel - issue 69 starts on the 25th of January.
