Thor is in the hot seat this week. Does it deserve thunderous applause or does it strike out?

Dave argues this is a great set-up to what came later, with solid character development and outstanding direction from Kenneth Branagh making it a gem in it's own right as well. Ausy and Alex do not agree, saying that the script is overwritten and the action lacklustre, with glimmers of potential but no real payoff.

All this with an impression of Thor and a quiz where you must guess whether a word is a Norse deity or a Scandinavian frozen food company. Is it Thor or Thawed?

The Matrix: Reloaded is on trial this week. Does it hit the mark or run out of ammunition?

Alex argues that this film manages to successfully build on the world hinted at in the first film while offering something new at the same time. Dave disagrees, saying that this sequel becomes bloated in both script and pop philosophy, ultimately failing to entertain.

Mank is in the dock this week. A letter away from what it really is or a satisfying release?

Ausy and Alex are on the defence, talking about the beautiful direction and relevant political themes that make this a shoe in at the Oscar's next year. Gav and Joel prosecute, pointing out the dense script that takes no prisoners and chaotic plot structure.
