The gang debriefs on Jingle All the Way.

This time the gang puts the Christmas classic/catastrophe "Jingle All the Way" on trial. Will Dr. Bealer talk about her woman's lit tramp stamp? Will Jonathan defend the film as Turboman? Will the new and improved sound make Jason's slurring any more coherent? All of these questions will be answered in this episode of "Movies on Trial."

On this epic recap, find out the answers to all of your unanswered questions: Did judge John Rice enjoy Heaven's Gate? Did Jonathan make the live recording of this recap? What would Christopher Walken sound like playing Hitler? All these questions and more are just a click a way.

This month the gang puts their legal expertise to the test in deciding if Michael Cimino’s three hour and forty-minute western, Heaven’s Gate, is an artistic piece of Americana or an indulgent piece of chicanery. Joined by special key witness Ann Podracky, and visited by the ghost of Reverend Applewhite, the honorable judge John Rice must decide the fate of this movie and if it gets the vaunted Movies On Trial recommendation.
