Films on Trial

This week we're putting The Warriors on trial. Is it a hard hitting cult classic or does it pull it's punches?

Gav and Dave are on the defence this time, claiming this is a hidden gem with innovative direction and a strong message about gang violence. Joel and Alex prosecute, arguing that cult status covers a multitude of sins.

All this plus impressions of Zeus and a quiz.

Event Horizon is in the hot seat this week. An epic journey into the unknown or a confused wander into the void?

Gav and Dave put their hearts on the line defending this week, arguing that superb performances and an original take on sci-fi horror means it should take its place on our hallowed Hit List. Ausy and Alex prosecute, pointing out the high levels of needless gore and anticlimactic ending.

Plus: impressions of Sean Pertwee and a quiz!

The Irishman is on trial... Just like kissing the Blarney Stone? or more like passing a kidney stone?

Please accept some heartfelt apologies! we thought we had released this episode back after the Bone Alone episode... it seemed to get lost in Ausy's birthday celebrations and his unfathomable podast folder structure.

All the usual good stuff is here. Hope you enjoy!

This week we pass judgement on the 2020 Harley Quinn movie, Birds of Prey or one of the other names it has been marketed as. Is it a majestic feathered eagle, or just a bit bald?

This week we put 1917 on trial. Is it a on-shot, war-time, cinematic masterpiece? Or, should it have been left in the trenches?

This is the first episode we have recorded in 2020 as we had some major equipment failure over the Christmas period and no money to fix or replace things. So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE accept our apologies for the slow start to the year and for any dips in sound quality for this episode. It's all new equipment and this recording was actually the first time we opened the box.

Anyway, we're back for the new year with most of the usual stuff... impressions, xylphones, insults, a quiz and most importantly our judgement on the film!

Hope you all had a great festive period!

Bone Alone is on trial! Is it delicious calcium based chew with a wonderful marrow filled core or is it just the scraps from the table with a few dregs of somebody elses wonderful meal still attached?

Not a delightful image for comparison this week but then it is the middle of January and we're allowed to be a little more negative than usual. :S

Bone Alone is not a humourously titiled porn parody it is in fact an homage to the Christmas Classic Home Alone but with dogs. Obviously this was Gav's Christmas film pick. The rest of the episode is filled with:

This episode should have come out back in December, but we struggled to get together to record in the last week of December because we all underestimate just how incredibly difficult it can be to fit everything in between Christmas and New Year. Plus, when it's such a huge film like Bone Alone, you really don't want to just go through the motions.

We apologise from the bottom of our dog bowls about the irregular programming over the holiday period and we promise to be more organised in the future.. ;)

As ever many many thanks to everyone who hehlps us create the podcast particularly our wonderful graphic artist Winston Tsang (IG: @the_quirks) (even though we didn't send him anything to make for this one... he deserved a week off)

On the fourth week of Christmas Films on Trial forgot to release an episode... because they were too busy getting in the festive spirit. So, better late than never: Scrooged is on trial this week. Will this put a little love in your heart? or will just the thought it give you a heart attack?

I know, I know not my greatest intro blurb but it's January and I'm feeling the full effects of a Christmas of excess. Perhaps a visit by some Christmas spirits will see us all through this dark month.

The quiz starts at about 55 minutes and 20 seconds and the rest of the episode is filled with hilarious back and forth, little known facts about things vaguely related to the film, some tremendous xylophone playing and a distinct lack of Joel and Alex but don't worry Mr. Personality and Baldilocks will return in next week's episode.
