  • Doctor Sleep

    Doctor Sleep is on trial this week. Is it a dream come true or should they have let sleeping dogs lie?

    Ausy and Dave argue that the film had a major problem in being a sequel to both 'The Shining' book and the Kubrick adaptation, the result being a confused mess. Gav very much disagrees, pointing out the incredible work by director Mike Flanagan in melding these worlds together and still telling an important story of dealing with loss and trauma.

    All this with an impression of Jack Nicholson and a quiz where you guess the film from the Ewan McGregor quote.

  • Matrix Reloaded

    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.

    In our continuing quest to become hip, relevant, and popular enough to leave our day jobs, the FoT team will be putting Elf (2003) on trial and judging once and for all whether this is an absolute cracker or a disappointing turkey.

    Dave and Joel will be defending, with Ausy and Alex on the prosecution. Gav will be both judge and MC, making sure our first foray into live streaming goes without a single hitch.

  • Noelle

    Noelle is in the hot seat this week. Will it get on the naughty or nice list?

    Dave and Ausy defend, pointing out the light-hearted high jinx and joyful performances sprinkled through this festive feature. Gav and Alex prosecute, highlighting the flavourless comedy that takes no risks and boring plot.

    All this with a heartwarming impression of Santa himself and a quiz of quotes from Christmas films.

  • Mank

    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.

    All this with an impression of Orson Welles and a quiz all about how real life figures have felt about their on screen portrayals.
