Films on Trial

We take films and we put them on trial!

Author: Films on Trial

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.

The Birds
Episode 276
Thursday, 16 October, 2025

The Birds is on trial this week. A pheasant surprise or does it make us raven mad? Alex says this horror classic showcases a director at the height of his talent, blending different genres together to make something truly unique. Dave and Mike point out the dated effects, a nonsensical plot and deeply concerning behaviour from Alfred Hitchcock towards his star Tippi Hedren. Mike also reads the synopsis of the film in the style of a crow and there's quiz based on cinematic birds. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/276Special Guest: Mike.
