After such a great response form the Disney+ challenge, we decided to try it again but for Amazon... With so much to choose from we limited it to horror films on Prime. You can't begin to imagine the films we picked for each other.

Midsommar takes the stand this week. Are fans brainwashed or is this cutting edge horror?

Joel and Dave prosecute, discussing the unnecessary gore and unbelievable stupidity of the characters. Gav and Ausy strongly disagree, pointing out the incredible cinematography and complex themes running throughout.

On top of all this there's a quiz about cults in film and an impression of a swedish accent unlike any you have heard before.

Road house is on the chopping block this week. Timeless 80s action masterpiece or a pain in the neck?

Gav and Dave defend this week, arguing that this is a film that sets out to entertain and does exactly that. Joel and Alex prosecute, pointing out the dated attitudes towards women and nonsensical plot.

Plus an impression of the wonderful Sam Elliot and a quiz!

Extraction is in the hot seat this week. An adrenaline pumping blockbuster or as much fun as a face full of rake?

Joel and Gav argue it's a hit, highlighting the innovative action scenes and great performance by Chris Hemsworth. Ausy and Dave go on the attack, discussing the lack of any original story or dialogue.

To top it off there's a quiz called Chris cross and we learn that Australian accents are hard to get right.

The Rock (1996) is on trial this week. Does it soar like a rocket or get impaled like Tony Todd?

Alex and Dave defend this week, arguing that classic 90s action and a strong cast make this a hit. Gav and Ausy disagree, pointing out that tired action clichés and a terrible performance by Cage make them want to throw away the key.

On top of this there's also an impression of Connery (there's more pressure when it's a classic) and a quiz all about Michael Bay films.

The ambitious Cloud Atlas is in the dock this week. Will it hold up or crumble under the pressure?

Joel and Alex defend this week, highlighting the versatile performances and rich plot. Ausy and Gav try to bring them crashing down to earth, arguing the length and sheer amount of story stop this from being a hit.

As always there is a dubious impression and a quiz at the end!

The 2001 Ocean's 11 is on trial this week. Does it hit the jackpot or is it caught red-handed?

We have our special guest and friend Big Dave joining us this week to lend some sanity to proceedings as well as his genuine opinion. Gav and Joel prosecute, pointing out the glaring lack of substantial female roles and a plot that lacks any tension. Dave and Alex defend, arguing that stylish direction and great performances make this a hit.

As well as all of this we discover doing an impersonation of a bad impersonation (sorry Don Cheadle) is trickier than you think.

Cloverfield is on trial this week. Does it bring the house down or does it make your head want to explode?

Joel and Alex are defending this week, arguing that outstanding acting and an original take make this a classic. Dave and Ausy disagree, pointing out the tired monster movie tropes and stomach churning camerawork.

All this and an incredibly awful impression of TJ Miller, plus a quiz based on famous cinema monsters.
