This week is the 1st of the Christmas season, with the gang defending their favourite (underrated) Christmas films.

First up on trial is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Joel acts as defence, Alex is the prosecution and Dave is the all-important judge. Gav acts as the character witness to lend his opinion to the arguments presented to the court.

Is this a wholesome Christmas comedy, or is this Turkey dry and overdone?
