Armageddon is on trial this week. Is it a triumph of a disaster movie, or is it just a disaster?

Joel and Ausy say that it set the bar for disaster films, and that the action and special effects are outstanding. But Alex and Gav argue that there isn't enough of the action, and that it's too long and messy. There's a quiz all about Michael Bay, and impression of Steve Tyler, and a whole lot of banter. Do we get the verdict right? Let us know what you think!

Twister is on trial this week. As right as rain or a perfect storm?

Dave and Alex say this is a film to be enjoyed rather than taken seriously, with a surprisingly good cast and practical effects. Joel and Gav argue that a ludicrous plot and paper-thin characters made them want to storm out.

All this with an impression of a southern gentleman in a tornado and a quiz about product placement in movies.

Independence Day is on trial this week. Does a free USA work or would it have been better to remain a British colony?

Dave and Ausy defend, saying that this was a huge box office smash with a big cast and special effects to match. Alex says that the use of miniatures has stopped for a reason and that two and a half hours of unfiltered patriotism is too much.

Thelma and Louise is on trial this week. Will it soar like an eagle or fail to make an impact in the landscape?

Joel and Dave argue that it was a trail blazing film at the time, with iconic scenes and incredible lead performances. Gav and Ausy argue that one iconic scene does not make up for script issues, dated dialogue and one dimensional supporting characters.

All this with an impression of a southern Michael Madsen and a new take on the quiz format.

Gladiator is on trial this week. Will it conquer all or is it a big thumbs down?

Dave and Alex defend, bringing up an iconic script delivered by a top shelf cast and a music score that matches the action perfectly. Gav and Ausy say the story gets bogged down in boring ancient politics, the effects are dated and that it's a shame this is how Oliver Reed went out.

All this with an impression of Richard Harris and a quiz based on famous movie quotes.

Alien Covenant is on trial this week. Does it give us a good feeling deep down or will it rip us apart?

Gav and Joel say this is a return to form after Prometheus, offering fans the carnage they expect but also delivering some interesting ideas along the way. Ausy and Alex point out that this is a sequel to Prometheus which does nothing to mend the wreckage that film left the franchise in.

On top of that there's a quiz to test whether you are a Billy Crudup or a Billy Fuckup (part II), and an impression of David by our mate Mike.

This week marks the first episode in our Ridley Scott season, as the guys put House of Gucci on trial. Is it the Fun House, or the House of Horrors?

Alex and Dave are defending and say that the film is style and substance, with some great performances from Adam Driver and Lady Gaga. Gav is prosecuting however, and he argues that the film abandons the more interesting aspects of the story, and also features some of the worst acting in a big Hollywood production in recent memory.

There's lots of great banter, an impression of Jared Leto's Paolo Gucci, and a quiz all about fashion in films. Check is out and let us know what you think!

Something's Gotta Give is on trial this week. Is the naked truth this is a classic or is it squeaky bum time?

Alex has chosen this film for romcom season as he hates it so very much. With Joel he points out a cringeworthy script and pointless plot points amongst other grievances. Dave and Ausy think he needs to calm down and enjoy an easy watch with a great cast and an interesting focus on love in later life.

Just Go With It is on trial this week. Good advice or should we take it with a pinch of salt?

Dave and Alex defend, pointing to a simple but interesting story that provides plenty of laughs. Gav could not disagree more, calling it pedestrian, outdated and, perhaps worst of all, an Adam Sandler movie.

Wedding Crashers is on trial this week. A fairytale meeting of two comedic greats or will this end in tears?

Joel and Ausy argue that a strong cast keeps the laughs coming and that there's an interesting story beneath the comedy. Gav and Alex argue that Wedding Crashers does not stand the test of time, with outdated views on women, men and pretty much everything else.

All this with Joel showing us his very own Walken and a quiz based on the cast.
