Films on Trial

For our 200th episode 2 part special, the gang put No Time To Die on trial. Is it a thunderball or does it (sky)fall from grace?

Part 1 will cover the trial. Gav and Ausy are on defence and state that it's a textbook James Bond movie. The Daves are prosecuting and argue that it's too serious and shooting itself in the foot.

There are lots of great arguments, banter and impressions. So do be sure to check it out, because you only live twice!

And check out part 2 next week, when we'll be covering a big, bumper Films on Trial quiz. Definitely not one to be missed.

Free Guy is on trial this week. Does it pwn everything or was it made by noobs?

Gav and Joel defend, pointing to a fun premise and performances by actors who look like they are enjoying themselves. Dave and Alex say the second half doesn't live up to the promise of the first and some cgi heavy sequences drag it down even further.

All this with an impression of Mario and a quiz based on lead actor Ryan Reynolds!

Don't Look Now is on trial this week. Does it keep it's head above the water or should we be on red alert?

Dave and Alex defend, saying that it is a cinematic classic with intriguing performances and masterful direction. Gav and Joel say the symbolism becomes a dead weight and that it is severely lacking by modern horror standards.

All this with an impression of an Italian bishop and a quiz all about films set in Venice.

Eden Lake is on trial this week. Will it tempt us or should it be banished?

Gav and Joel point out a top cast and a gore-filled plot that is as believable as it is horrific. However, Dave and Ausy say this is a cheap use of shock violence that has a tone deaf attitude to youth gang culture.

All this with an impression of a young scallywag and a quiz all about gangs in films!

The Taking of Deborah Logan is on trial this week. Does it compel us or should it be cast out?

Joel and Gav say this is a stand out performance for Jill Larson and a fresh take on possession films with the use of found footage. Ausy and Alex say that putting two tired horror genres together does not make it original and that an interesting look at Alzheimer's gets lost in a standard demon possession story.

All this with a slightly Irish impression of a demon and a quiz based on horror films!

The Night of The Hunter takes the stand this week. Will we love it with all our heart or hate it's guts?

Alex and Dave defend, saying a masterful performance by Robert Mitchum is the cherry on top of a film packed with thrills and chills. Gav prosecutes, saying that a promising start ends up turning into farce and that there's a good reason why this was director Charles Laughton's only film.

All this with an impression of Robert Mitchum and a quiz all about killed priests

This week, The Bodyguard is on trial. Is it a bulletproof vest, or is it a bullet in the chest?

Joel and Ausy argue that it's a timeless classic, with a great central love story and a fantastic soundtrack. Gav and Alex argue that it's a got a weak story and a uninspiring romance.

There's a quiz about Kevin Costner and other cinematic Kevins, plus impressions of Gary Kemp, and a lot of banter.

This week The Postman is on trial. Is it 'next day delivery', or is it "sorry we missed you"?

Dave and Ausy praise the direction and the message of hope in this post apocalyptic film, whereas Gav and Joel argue that the film is too long and self-indulgent.

There's a quiz about correspondence in movies, an impression of Postman Pat, plus lots of great film chat. Check is out and let us know what you think.

This week Waterworld is on trial. Is it a lifeline or a sinking ship? Dave and Ausy defend that it is a misunderstood film with fantastic action and a not-so hidden warning about climate change. Gav argues that it's reputation as a cinematic failure is well-deserved.
