Films on Trial

This week we're putting The Warriors on trial. Is it a hard hitting cult classic or does it pull it's punches? Gav and Dave are on the defence this time, claiming this is a hidden gem with innovative direction and a strong message about gang violence. Joel and Alex prosecute, arguing that cult status covers a multitude of sins. All this plus impressions of Zeus and a quiz. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

Event Horizon is in the hot seat this week. An epic journey into the unknown or a confused wander into the void? Gav and Dave put their hearts on the line defending this week, arguing that superb performances and an original take on sci-fi horror means it should take its place on our hallowed Hit List. Ausy and Alex prosecute, pointing out the high levels of needless gore and anticlimactic ending....

The Irishman is on trial... Just like kissing the Blarney Stone? or more like passing a kidney stone? Please accept some heartfelt apologies! we thought we had released this episode back after the Bone Alone episode... it seemed to get lost in Ausy's birthday celebrations and his unfathomable podast folder structure. All the usual good stuff is here. Hope you enjoy! www.filmsontrial.co.uk

We're back with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Is this a clever reflection on the human condition or should you pay good money to have it erased from you memory? All the usual good stuff returns, xylophones, insults, trivia and the quiz but most importantly the caption contest and the freddo giveaway www.filmsontrial.co.uk

This week we pass judgement on the 2020 Harley Quinn movie, Birds of Prey or one of the other names it has been marketed as. Is it a majestic feathered eagle, or just a bit bald? www.filmsontrial.co.uk

The HP Lovecraft horror classic, Reanimator is on trial this week. Is this a film that should have been left to rest? or is it in everyones interest that it is kept alive? This weeks quiz is all about Lovecraft and loads of other great content... as always. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

This week we put 1917 on trial. Is it a on-shot, war-time, cinematic masterpiece? Or, should it have been left in the trenches? This is the first episode we have recorded in 2020 as we had some major equipment failure over the Christmas period and no money to fix or replace things. So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE accept our apologies for the slow start to the year and for any dips in sound quality for...

After a bumpy ride with our recording equipment we are finally able to publish our fist episode of the year!!! This week we have a quick reflection on the films and events of 2019. We discuss our best and worst films of 2019, and a bumper quiz on things that happened in the movie word during the last year. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

Bone Alone is on trial! Is it delicious calcium based chew with a wonderful marrow filled core or is it just the scraps from the table with a few dregs of somebody elses wonderful meal still attached? Not a delightful image for comparison this week but then it is the middle of January and we're allowed to be a little more negative than usual. :S Bone Alone is not a humourously titiled porn parody...

On the fourth week of Christmas Films on Trial forgot to release an episode... because they were too busy getting in the festive spirit. So, better late than never: Scrooged is on trial this week. Will this put a little love in your heart? or will just the thought it give you a heart attack? I know, I know not my greatest intro blurb but it's January and I'm feeling the full effects of a Christmas...

On the 3rd Week of Christmas Films on Trial brought to me... a stoner film with a wholesome story. Or is it... We put The Night Before on trial this week. Is this a Yuletide laugh a minute, or more of a boxing day log? Film feels is all about our favourite musician cameo (as themselves). Joel brings a quiz about the film (starting at 49 minutes and 47 seconds... extra accuracy provided to keep Gav...

On the 2nd week of Christmas, Films on Trial watched Love Actually... I don't have any witty follow up lines this week... all suggestions are very welcome. This is a long one. Sorry everyone, some films just really divide the nation. The quiz starts at 1hr and 10 minutes. The shouting starts at 10 minutes.. (or so) Maybe just maybe love will actually be all around us next week. www.filmsontrial.co...

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine.. wine, tequila, vodka tonic and more wine... We are into Decemnber and we will be judging Christmas films all month. This week we put "A Bad Mom's Christmas" on trial. Is it a Bad Mother... or just plain bad? All the usual shenanigans, this week's quiz starts at 51 minutes exactly! Let the festivities begin! www.filmsontrial.co.uk

The Other Guys is on trial this week. Is it a desk pop or a desk poop?... I'm sorry, I've lost my touch with these comparisons.. Normal service to resume next week (I hope). We also talk about our favourite car chases and fill the rest of the time with impressions, arguing, xylophones and, as usual, a quiz. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

This week we put the 90s action film Speed on trial. Is it a blast of a bus journey or does it lose its head? I know, I know... not my finest tagline, but it is a great episode! (if I do say so myself). All thge usual shenanigans inside: a quiz, our favourite bomb disposal scenes, crappy xylophone playing, awful impressions and just general laughter and fun. Also, please leave us a review on iTune...

Halloween Horror Month is over! phew! To celebrate we get straight into it with a 90's action film starring Jean Claud Van Dam, Street Fighter. Is it Guille, or is it Bile? We discuss our favourite JCVD films, and Dave is in charge of the quiz this week all about actors who took on a role to please their children, titled "Doin' it for the kids" All that and the usual xylophone playing, terrible ac...

It's the final week of Halloween Horror Month! This week's pick is by Ausy. It's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.. but is it Jane Austen, or is it plain Austin... Rubbish impressions, terrible organ playing, a zombie quiz (that starts almost exactly at 46 minutes!) and the trial of course. Give us a like, and a rating and if you're feeling extra generous a review! www.filmsontrial.co.uk

In our penultimate episode of Halloween Horror month, Joel has picked Eli (2019) to be put on trial. Is it a break-out Netflix hit, or more scrolling fodder? On top of that we have a quiz based on haunted houses in film, an almost perfect impression of a man, and a discussion of cinema's scariest children. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

Continuing our halloween horror month Dave has chosen to put the 1973 cult classic Theatre of Blood on trial. An tasty blend of horror and comedy, or an overstuffed ham sandwich? We also discuss our favourite horror death scenes and attempt to go highbrow with a quiz all about Shakespeare adaptations in cinema. Hamlet? Or...Hamlet? www.filmsontrial.co.uk

Another week of Halloween Horror Month! This week it's Alex's Pick, "Mother!". Is it Mother Superior, or is it Mother Hubbard? We promise every week to highlight where the quiz is.... so until we work out how to insert chapters we will just tell you here... This week the quiz starts at about 37 minutes. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

28 days to halloween, halloween, halloween.... 28 days..... you get the picture! Gav has chosen Halloween 3 to go on trial this week. He has also written the quiz, and he cooked our meal today and he downloaded a new organ app, and learned some halloween tunes... He's been a busy boy. All the usual nonsense but with some extra scary sound effects. Woooooooooooooooo. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

La La Land is on trial this week does it capture the magic of LA and deserve the awards? or is it formulaic and lazy and one to miss? all the usual guffaws and banter including the ever popular caption contest, soem terroble inpressions and some woeful xylophone playing. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

13th Warrior is on trial. Will it end up on the hit or the s %t list? Not a random choice this week as Dave has picked it to gon trial. Captain Dave is acting as Defence and Ausy and Gav are prosecuting. Joel is this week's judge. Plenty of humour, potential facts and some pretty swaying arguments in this one. All the usual xylophones and jingles are here too. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

The eagerly awaited IT Chapter Two is on trial this week. Is it Pennywise or is it Pennythickastwoshortplanks? This week's film feels is all about our favourite movie gangs and this week's quiz is all about Steven King. All of the usual shenanigans; caption contest, musical instruments, sound effects, impersonations and general banter. www.filmsontrial.co.uk

This week we put National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon on trial. Is it a lethal laughter based weapon, or is it firing blanks? We've got all the usual shinanigans including: Brucey's Film Feels where we talk about our favourite spoof film; a quiz on the Olivier of Spoofs; possibly the worst William Shatner impression you have ever heard; and of course a delightful xylophone rendition of a song loosely...
