Films on Trial

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.

  • 267 - Renfield

    Renfield is in the dock this week. Something to sink our teeth into or does it make our blood boil?

    Dave defends, arguing a tight script and a killer premise make this film slay. Gav prosecutes, saying a messy mash of genres and confusing plot turns ended up breaking his heart.

    All this with an impression of Dracula and a quiz where we guess the vampire movie from the tagline. 'Eine symphonie des grauens', anybody?

  • 266 - Gone in 60 Seconds

    Gone in 60 Seconds is on trial this week. Is this an old banger or will it drive us round the bend?

    Ausy, a long time fan of Gone in 60 Seconds, finally gets the chance to defend this car heist classic with Dave, arguing it set the formula for car action films for the next 20 years. Joel and Alex prosecute, saying that a lack of cars in a car movie is criminal, and that too many characters means big actors like Robert Duval are left in the dust.

    All this with an impression of Vinnie Jones and a quiz all about some of Nicolas Cage's films from his later career, such as Primal. Does he fight a massive white jaguar on a boat or an assassin? Or both?

  • 265 - The Wicker Man (2006)

    The Wicker Man (2006) is on trial this week. Sweet as honey or better left in its cage?

    Gav defends, saying that watching Nicolas Cage karate chop his way through a pagan mystery dressed as a bear is tough to top. Dave and Alex argue that a smattering of unintentionally hilarious moments do not make up for the fact that this remake of a horror classic has taken out all the actual horror.

    All this with an impression and quiz about the main man himself, Nicolas Cage.

  • 264 - The Wicker Man (1973)

    The Wicker Man (1973) is on trial this week. Do we like these apples or is it a basket case?

    Gav argues a gripping story about paganism and Christianity topped off with one of the finest finales in horror history make this a classic. Dave and Alex argue it tries to be both a mystery-horror and a deep discussion of religion, ending up as neither.

    All this with an impression of Christopher Lee and another of a flaming Edward Woodward, with a quiz all about angles in historic monuments.

  • 263 - Aladdin (2019)

    Aladdin (2019) is on trial this week. Is it a magic carpet ride, or a step too Jafar?

    Gav celebrates the film's musical numbers, and highlights that a lot of the controversies of the original have been addressed. Alex argues that an odd choice in director and a subpar genie really hinder the film.

    There are great arguments from both sides, an impression of Guy Richie, and a quiz all about the 1001 Arabian Nights.
