The Movie Night Showdown

The Movie Night Showdown

Author: Fun Kids May 17, 2026 Duration: 22:42

Should a string of perfect spelling tests earn you the right to choose movie night? Alma thinks so but Mum has other plans, usually involving detective films and a dose of Jessica Fletcher...

When your Friday night hangs in the balance, is “We Can Be Heroes” too much to ask? Judge Bex weighs spelling triumph against cinematic tradition and hands down a verdict.

Meanwhile, the court faces the siblings' classic: Ria vs. Mum (and her brother!). Ria is tired of always catching the blame for spills and snack wrappers left behind.

Is she being unfairly singled out, or are memories of past misdemeanors clouding Mum’s judgement? Maybe it’s time for a detective in this house too!

Judge Bex unpacks the evidence, interviews both sides, and rules on who truly deserves the blame and who needs to tidy up their act.

Ever had a fight with your brother over who really broke the remote, or felt a deep injustice when your pocket money was denied? Judge Bex is here to preside over these all-too-familiar courtroom dramas of everyday life. Hosted by the wonderfully witty Bex from Fun Kids, this podcast takes those petty squabbles and sibling stand-offs seriously-well, sort of seriously. Armed with an actual law degree and a gavel, Bex listens to the evidence presented by young plaintiffs and defendants, tackling cases of unfair chores, broken promises, and misplaced toys. Each episode feels like a playful legal session where Bex and her team of ace attorneys dissect the details, hear both sides, and deliver a verdict that’s both funny and surprisingly fair. It’s a unique blend of family-friendly humor and lighthearted problem-solving, giving kids a fun framework to think about justice, fairness, and how to resolve their own disputes. Tune in for a clever mix of kid-centric true crime for minor offenses, where the stakes are low but the courtroom drama is highly entertaining. You’ll find yourself rooting for both sides and maybe even picking up a few diplomatic skills for your next argument at home.
