City of Angels is on trial. A match made in heaven or has hell frozen over?

Gav defends this week, pointing to a rich story that doesn't tug on your heartstrings for the sake of it and sublime performances. The devil is the details for Alex however, as he struggles to get past Maggie's lack of basic cycle safety awareness.

All this with an impression of Dennis Franz and a quiz all about songs commissioned especially for movies.

1:19:02

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) is on trial this week. A sweet treat or like falling into a brown, disgusting river? Dave defends this sleeper hit, saying an iconic performance from Gene Wilder, hit songs and a tasty supporting cast make this a classic. Gav disagrees, saying the film glosses over the questionable morals of a psychotic capitalist who is likely guilty of trafficking the Oompa Loompas. All this with an impression of an Oompa Loompa and a quiz all about famous movie restaurants. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/265 Support Films on Trial…

1:12:05

This week we put The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on trial. Is it pulling its weight, or is it too much weight to bear? Dave says that it's an enjoyable comic piece with two great central performances, whereas Alex argues that it has a lot of potential which it never delivers on. All of this plus a quiz about heavy items and an impression of the man himself. Let us know what you think of the episode, and don't forget to leave us a 5* rating. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/263 Support Films on Trial…

1:13:15

Adaptation is on trial this week. Fresh as a daisy or best if we nip it in the bud? Alex defends one of his all time favourites, saying stand out performances from a stellar cast coupled with a truly original story and tight script make this a bed of roses. Gav and Dave have no qualms trampling on every single argument however, calling this masterpiece "w*nky" and asking the question: is a car chase a car chase if no car is being chased? All this with a quiz where we guess films from a tagline with blanks included and an impression of a Florida man. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/262 Support Films on Trial…

Longlegs 1:11:24

Longlegs is on trial this week. The daddy of detective horror films or does it trip over itself? Gav defends, stating that superb direction and a great aesthetic put him in seventh heaven. The devil is in the details for Ausy and Alex however, as they say a promising beginning ultimately collapses in a poor third act with podcast favourite up to his old antics. All this with an impression of Cage doing an impression of Marc Bolan, and a quiz all about serial killers in films. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/261 Support Films on Trial…

56:34

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? www.filmsontrial.co.uk/260 Support Films on Trial…

1:09:25

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? www.filmsontrial.co.uk/259 Support Films on Trial…

1:05:07

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. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/258 Support Films on Trial…

1:11:07

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. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/257 Support Films on Trial…

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. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/256 Support Films on Trial…

Aladdin (1992) is on trial this week. A whole new world or a step Jafar? Gav mercilessly prosecutes, saying that the story is woeful and the use of stereotypes to depict middle eastern characters make this almost unwatchable. Alex and Ausy defend, looking at the film as the first Disney attempt at a story outside Western folk-tales that may have made many mistakes, but got some things right too. All this with an impression of the parrot and a quiz all about voice actors in Disney history. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/155 Support Films on Trial…

The Mummy (2017) is on trial this week. Are we all Set or is this a film in Isis? Gav defends, saying that having an action superstar like Cruise elevates this to another level. Dave is less enthusiastic, saying that this film is flawed in every possible way, killing the Dark Universe franchise before it even began. All this with an impression of the superb Russell Crowe and a quiz all about Tom Cruise! www.filmsontrial.co.uk/254 Support Films on Trial…

1:08:39

The Mummy (1999) is on trial this week. Does it help us unwind or is it better left under wraps? Dave argues an exciting plot with a director directing his own script makes for a scary, yet also family-friendly, adventure. Gav thinks the tone is all over the place, stretching thin at nearly 2 hours in length. All this with an impression of a Hungarian con-man and a quiz based on mummies! www.filmsontrial.co.uk/253 Support Films on Trial…

Dune: Parts One and Two 1:21:09

1:21:09

We are putting both Dune Parts I and II on trial this week. Will we get our just deserts, or does it leave us high and dry? Alex and Ausy say this is the definitive adaptation of the book, unlikely to be surpassed with such attention to detail in every aspect of production. Dave argues that too much detail causes a sluggish pace, the film thoroughly exploring every part of the book for a collective runtime of over five hours. All this with an awful attempt at a Charlotte Rampling impression, a much better try at Stellan Skarsgård and a spicy film quiz. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/252 Support Films on Trial…

Dune (1984) is on trial this week. Does it add some spice or should we bury our heads in the sand? Dave and Ausy argue this is an imaginative retelling by director David Lynch that packs a stellar cast. Alex is less fond of constant narration and voiceover that try to string together a huge amount of material with little to no success. All this with an impression of Sting and a quiz all about worms in films! www.filmsontrial.co.uk/251 Support Films on Trial…
