The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent

Each week we will act as judge, prosecution, and defence 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 ensue as we put Films on Trial.

  • Great premise and usually good execution, but Gav sometimes annoys with personal attacks rather than sticking to the film.

  • This podcast will make you cry…with laughter

    Between 45-60 minutes of quality, funny and engaging podcasting every week. You’ll find yourself shouting out loud (often in embarrassingly public places) when you disagree with their arguments, and whooping with glee like Boris at an illegal party when they get it right. Featuring current films and classics alike, there’s something for everyone- well worth a listen.

  • For Ye Shall Be Judged... Films. I mean Films...

    The whole premise of this show is wacky. An actual trial for films! Lol. And yet it really works here because it's so much fun. The hosts do a great job digging into the good, bad, beautiful, and ugly of a film, whether it's super serious cinema like Dunkirk or kinda ridiculous stuff like The Rock. It's sort of like being in a room with a bunch of guys who each have an entirely different way of looking at the same film, but rather than it becoming a screaming match, it's a a good hour-ish of fan... more
