Films on Trial
Five lads from Liverpool, talking about films
About the show
Do you like films? Do you like debating whether a film is a cinematic triumph, or if it’s a big hot mess? Well, we’ve got a just the podcast for you. We aim to settle those raging debates once and for all, as we put Films on Trial
We’re five lads from Liverpool and each week we will act as judge, prosecution, defence and witness, 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.

Constantine is being judged this week. On the righteous path or the highway to hell?
Joel and Alex point out the interesting blend of noir with the battle between heaven and hell, as well as discussing the incredible supporting performances from Tilda Swinton and Peter Stormare. Gav and Dave prosecute, pointing out that this comic book adaptation bears little resemblance to the source material and is too sombre for it's own good.
On top of this we have an impression of Peter Stormare and a quiz all about Keanu Reeves films!
