Our financial flop season concludes with John Carter on trial this week. Will we jump for joy, or could we not give a Thark?

Ausy and Alex say a huge overspend on budget distracts from the fact that this is a fun adaptation of one of the earliest and most influential sci-fi series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Dave and Mike argue that even forgetting the terrible marketing and extensive reshoots, John Carter ends up looking like a cheap imitation of Star Wars instead of its inspiration.

All this with an impression of Willem Dafoe and a quiz all about flops
