Each week we will act as judge, prosecution, and defence as we recreate a courtroom scenario, and decide whether a much loved (or hated) film should end up on the Hit List or not. Film trivia, quizzes, banter, terrible impressions, musical interludes, and lots of debating ensue as we put Films on Trial.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning is on trial this week. A runaway train or a nonentity?
Gav passionately defends, arguing that slick action and an AI villain make this an accomplished addition to the series. Ausy and Alex feel that the lack of any tangible villain as well as fairly derivative action make this a fail.
All this with an impression of Tom Cruise and a quiz all about actors doing stunts!

No Hard Feelings
No Hard Feelings is on trial this week. A strong contender or a complete flop?
Dave and Ausy defend, saying this fresh take on the romcom has great comedic moments and a superb central performance from Jennifer Lawrence. Gav disagrees, saying that an insane basic premise is not helped by too much cringe humour and half-hearted characters.
All this with an impression of a New Yorker and a quiz to test your film knowledge!

Evil Dead Rise
Evil Dead Rise is on trial this week. A cut above the rest or is the glass half empty?
Gav argues this is a loving tribute to the franchise that will satisfy fans whilst still shocking them. Dave and Alex feel that some lines are better left uncrossed and that all this pain and gore ultimately ends up in us feeling nothing at all.

John Wick 4
Our Best of 2023 season continues as we put John Wick 4 on trial. Is it a candle in the wind? Or is it burning the candle at both ends?
There are great arguments for both sides, a slapdash John Wick quiz, and an impression of the man himself.
Hope that you enjoy. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Saltburn
Saltburn is on trial this week. Will we lap it up or is it better left to rest in peace?
Gav argues that a strong cast and big moments make this a fun ride guaranteed to get everyone talking. Dave and Alex say shocking scenes can't distract them from a shoddy plot that lacks any real point.
All this with an impression of an Oxbridge student and a quiz all about disturbing scenes in films.

Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer is on trial this week. Is it worth the hype or a 3 hour dud?
Gav and Ausy say this is a spectacular, original piece of filmmaking that delves into a dark corner of human history. Dave says the film tries too hard to make Oppenheimer a sympathetic character whilst littering the plot with historical inaccuracies and amalgamated characters.
All this with an impression of the biggest science man of all time, Albert Einstein!

Customer Reviews
Amazing!!
Love the intro along with the content of the show. These guys are funny and give sincere reviews. I would just highly recommend this based on their characters but I'd be undershooting their ability to host a show cause they are great at that!! If you are looking for a movie review podcast that also packs a comedy factor this is the one for you... And for me!!
