Olympus Has Fallen is in the dock this week. A storming, capital film or a bunch of trumped up nonsense?

Gav and Dave argue that a fine central performance from Gerard Butler and some gritty action scenes make this one to be remembered. Ausy and Alex say that there is far too much grit in a film that does not deserve such a great cast.

All this with faultless impressions and a dynamite quiz!

This week sees the finale of the Michael Wincott season as the gang put Nope on trial. Is it a close encounter or is it a near miss?

There are lots of great arguments for and against, plus a quiz all about the many deaths of Michael Wincott. Hope that you enjoy!

We put The Crow on trial this week. Does it rule the roost or have us spitting feathers?

Gav and Dave argue that the dark atmosphere and moody aesthetic of the film make it a hit. Alex counters that this is a fairly unremarkable standard revenge film, propelled to cult status by tragic circumstances.

As this is part of our Michael Wincott season we begin with an impression of the man himself.

We put Violent Night on trial. Does Santa light them up like a Christmas tree or will we have stars in our eyes?

Gav and Dave say this is a great mix of action and comedy that has them already excited for a sequel. Joel and Alex argue out that disappointing action scenes and unnecessary gore make this a festive turkey.

All this with an impression of jolly old St Nick and a quiz all about bloodthirsty Santas in film.

Spirited is on trial this week. Does it have a bright future or a dark past?

Dave and Ausy say a unique take on an old classic alongside great musical numbers make this a festive classic in the making. Joel and Gav say a muddled plot and actors with no musical training in over their heads make this one to forget.

All this with a quiz all about Christmas music hits!

Disenchanted is on trial this week. A real thumper of a Disney movie or does it flounder?

Alex argues that a realistic look at what comes after a 'happy ever after' ending and a compelling performance by Amy Adams makes this a sure hit. Ausy says that while the ideas behind it are good, the execution is dire and this is destined to sit alongside Hocus Pocus 2 as a dud.

All this with a quiz about Disney sidekicks and an impression of a chipmunk.

The Exorcist is on trial this week. Does it have the power to compel us or does it make our heads spin?

Gav and Ausy say this is a masterpiece to be ranked alongside the greatest films ever made, with a shocking plot and outstanding performances. Joel and Alex say that time has changed what audiences find terrifying and that the truly horrific scenes are more gross than actually scary.

All this with an impression of Max Von Sydow and a demon with a quiz all about demon possession.

Hocus Pocus 2 is on trial this week. Does it still have the magic or will it sink like a stone?

Ausy and Dave argue that an entertaining cast and a fun plot make this a Halloween hit. Gav and Alex say that this is a standard Disney sequel cash grab with muddled characters and bad jokes.

"Game of Crones" is our quiz this week and Gav gives us his best Bette Midler impression!
