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 wants usually unlikeable actors to be likeable in this week's film selection. Can Simon convince him to choose a brawler, or will Dylan win him over with a marionette? There's also some Movie Balderdash, a sing-along, and some general talk about talking in films. 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?

Dylan and Simon both love musicals, but Andrew has his limits, and only wants to watch a film with restricted spontaneous singing. Can Andrew choose between two comedy giants like Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, can Dylan win a round by roasting the crowd, and can Simon pull off a lounge cover of his favourite Shania Twain song? Find out all this and more in this week’s episode.

We're back, and this season Andrew is being a bit more specific with the films he wants to watch. First up, he wants the spectacle and thrill of a natural disaster movie. Can Simon win him over to his corner with tales of beaches and bidets, or will Dylan be able to persuade him that he needs more Bill Paxton in his life? Or was it Bill Pullman?
