I forgot to mention last week that the very well received Sing Street sent ripples through the LAMBScores table by becoming our highest rated film so far this year! Alas no such luck this week, with some lacklustre sequels and a little-seen period piece not making too much of an impact. Maybe we’ll have better luck next week with Out of the Shadows. Up for review this week: Alice Through The Looking Glass,...
Women being thrown into dumpsters. Purification via Lake Minnetonka. A puppet in a cup. Yep, this month we’re talking about Purple Rain.

It’s finally here! Just when you thought we were never going to record our Godfather Trilogy show we pull you back in with a special bonus show dedicated to it!

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...

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...
