No Hard Feelings is on trial this week. A strong contender or a complete flop?
\n\nDave and Ausy defend, saying this fresh take on the romcom has great comedic moments and a superb central performance from Jennifer Lawrence. Gav disagrees, saying that an insane basic premise is not helped by too much cringe humour and half-hearted characters.
\n\nAll this with an impression of a New Yorker and a quiz to test your film knowledge!

Deep Blue Sea is in the hot seat this week. Is there more below the surface here or will it get chewed to pieces?
\n\nDave and Joel defend, calling this the poster child for 90s disaster movies that doesn't fail in it's aim to entertain. Gav and Ausy are on the attack, saying this is a film that constantly shifts genres and makes up the rules as it goes along.

Anyway, to continue the impromptu bird month, Artemis Fowl goes on trial this week. A spring chicken or a giant turkey?
\n\nAusy and Dave are on defence and look at how the book has been adapted for a new audience and why a new generation of children will love it. Joel and Alex prosecute, pointing out the ludicrous plot, the mountains of exposition and why Judi Dench as the Chief of Fairy Police doesn't work.

After a bumpy ride with our recording equipment we are finally able to publish our fist episode of the year!!!
\nThis week we have a quick reflection on the films and events of 2019. We discuss our best and worst films of 2019, and a bumper quiz on things that happened in the movie word during the last year.
Bone Alone is on trial! Is it delicious calcium based chew with a wonderful marrow filled core or is it just the scraps from the table with a few dregs of somebody elses wonderful meal still attached?
\n\nNot a delightful image for comparison this week but then it is the middle of January and we're allowed to be a little more negative than usual. :S
\n\nBone Alone is not a humourously titiled porn parody it is in fact an homage to the Christmas Classic Home Alone but with dogs. Obviously this was Gav's Christmas film pick. The rest of the episode is filled with:
\n\nThis episode should have come out back in December, but we struggled to get together to record in the last week of December because we all underestimate just how incredibly difficult it can be to fit everything in between Christmas and New Year. Plus, when it's such a huge film like Bone Alone, you really don't want to just go through the motions.
\n\nWe apologise from the bottom of our dog bowls about the irregular programming over the holiday period and we promise to be more organised in the future.. ;)
\n\nAs ever many many thanks to everyone who hehlps us create the podcast particularly our wonderful graphic artist Winston Tsang (IG: @the_quirks) (even though we didn't send him anything to make for this one... he deserved a week off)

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?
\n\nI know, I know not my greatest intro blurb but it's January and I'm feeling the full effects of a Christmas of excess. Perhaps a visit by some Christmas spirits will see us all through this dark month.
\n\nThe quiz starts at about 55 minutes and 20 seconds and the rest of the episode is filled with hilarious back and forth, little known facts about things vaguely related to the film, some tremendous xylophone playing and a distinct lack of Joel and Alex but don't worry Mr. Personality and Baldilocks will return in next week's episode.

The new Pet Sematary is out next year so we've decided to put the 1989 version on trial. Gav has chosen this for his halloween horror pick and will be defending it, with Alex trying to put it to sleep. We have our good friend Mike joining us this week and becoming part of a jury to judge the film, with Dave acting as character witness.
\n\nThe crew also went to see the new Halloween film this week and the episode begins with a short no-spoilers review. There's also an excellent quiz about how Stephen King feels about film adaptations of his novels and Film Feels looks at what the gang think is the best animal in a horror film. Jaws, Cujo or the snakes that were on a plane?
\n\nSpecial Guest: Mike.
