Citizen Lame

The brothers are back to talk Andrew through their favourite films of 2022 in this once off special. Did Dr Strange live up to the madness? Has Adam Sandler actually made another good film? Is it really that hard to make up Weird Al parody songs? Discover all this and more in a fun deep dive into this year’s cinema hits… and some of its misses.

It’s time for another Christmas episode of Citizen Lame, packed to the brim with fun movie facts, games and Andrew’s inexplicable disdain for a certain Academy Award winning musical. Dylan also performs a festive version of Brown Eyed Girl, while Simon tries out some Christmas Cracker jokes. There’s even live bomb defusals, improvised comedy, gifts and your guide to acceptable times of the year to watch Christmas movies. Enjoy!

Andrew’s in the mood for something different this week, and that something different is a talking animal! Can Dylan sway him to his side with a bunch of famous impressions, or will Simon win him over with a song that used to be called ‘Knickers in a Handbag’? There’s also talk of awkward movie screenings, and the boys find out which Knights of the Roundtable they’d be.

Andrew is tired of crying when the good guy dies in a film. If people are going to perish on screen, he wants to be spared the devastation. This week Dylan and Simon have the particularly tough job of finding a film where death is integral to the plot, but it doesn't spoil the movie... or your day. There's talk of whoopee cushions, school plays, Scooby-Doo and Power Rangers - but is any of it enough to sway Andrew?
