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.

cinema, cinemaphile, films, movie lover, movie review, movies
We put Birds of Prey on trial this week. Is it as majestic and murderous as the the wild and proud birds it takes its name from or should we prey for it and ourselves that DC takes a good long look at itself and its rivals before it tries making another comic book film?

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?

On the 3rd Week of Christmas Films on Trial brought to me... a stoner film with a wholesome story.
