The X-Men franchise continues this week as we take a look at Bryan Singer’s latest mutant melange, X-Men Apocalypse.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Kristen Lopez, Dylan Fields, Nicole Ayers and Justin Polizzi to look at why reviews have not been overly favourable, and spend some time dissecting exactly where things might have gone wrong. Is the villain too over the top? Does the story take too long to get going? Or is it the lack...
LAMBScores took an unexpected break last week but is back back back with another dose of new release review round-ups! This week you need to decide if you’re Team Cap, Team Stark, Team Kitten-in-a-do-rag, Team Adultery Island or Team Garry Marshall Ruins Another Holiday.

Puppets! Bowie! Sexual awakenings! All this and more on this week’s Lambcast!

An animated panda sequel, a live action Disney pre/se/side-quel (I think? I haven’t seen it) and a debaucherous comedy are up for your perusal this week. Let’s have a look at what the LAMB community has to say!

This week’s Lambcast looks at some of the biggest fights ever to hit the cinema screen. Captain America vs Iron Man. Black Panther vs The Winter Soldier. Black Widow vs Hawkeye. And of course, Will Slater vs pretty much everyone, as usual.
That’s right, the summer movie season is upon us once again, and we kicked things off with the hugely anticipated and not-at-all-over-marketed Captain America: Civil War. This is a...
This week’s reviews were supposed to be just on The Jungle Book and Criminal, but looking back it seemed I’ve missed a few of the smaller releases from previous weeks, so they’ve been added to today’s round-up as well, in the places of the under-reviewed Criminal. Doing this has revealed some new additions to the Top 10 list in the sidebar, so I’ll be sure to keep an eye on the smaller releases...
With the upcoming release of Shane Black’s The Nice Guys, a 70s buddy movie about two mis-matched guys trying to solve some kind of case, this week we’ve gone back to look at the beginnings of Shane Black’s career, a 80s buddy movie about two mis-matched guys trying to solve some kind of case, and the ensuing sequels of varying quality and cohesiveness.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Heather Baxendale, Nick...
Three films for you this week, and they’re a pretty eclectic bunch: a Melissa McCarthy comedy, a Jake Gyllenhaal drama and an insane-looking first-person action thing. Let’s see what the LAMB community had to say!

Normally by now you might have expected an episode of the Lambcast to have dropped on the Movie of the Month, which for April is The Godfather Trilogy. Unfortunately we’ve had some scheduling issues over on the show, and as yet have been unable to get together to record the show. We’re still planning on releasing a show as soon as we can, but with the end of the month just around the corner and May’s Movie of the...
In the history of the Lambcast, there has been one officially “Lost” episode wherein through whatever issues the show failed to record, and nothing was released. This very nearly happened again, as this week’s Bring A Discussion Topic show suffered the dreaded double-Skype-recording-failure, with only one person’s audio being usable. So what is there to download? Well, I’ve done what I can and compiled a mostly...
