  <itunes:author>Films on Trial</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>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?

  <description>This week is the start of the Christmas season. Normally the films are picked at random but this week each member gets to pick a film to defend. The rest of the roles are still picked at random.
This week Joel defends National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, 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?
Also in the podcast:
- When is a short not a short?
- How does Jude Law keep getting work?
- Can a dead dog plan a wedding?
- And 15 seconds of train puns.
There's a slight change to the quiz format this week as we have a Blankety Blank themed quiz on National Lampoon movies. Special Guest: Ausy.
