All bang-average things must come to an end. With Lockdown ending, so must Lockdown Film Club. For this, our last ever episode, we got together around a table weighed down with delicious food at Maray, one of Liverpool's finest restaurants, to review The Mauritanian (Prime). The film's heavy subject matter (Guantanamo Bay, detention without charge, torture etc etc) didn't stop us from having a splendid time. Cheers! (raises AF beer bottle)

No less than 14 lads turned up for what Dave had hoped would be the last ever meeting of Lockdown Film Club. Listen to the pod to hear how Shannon and the others talked him out of it. After that, they reviewed the new Borat movie. Reviews were mixed... The next film will be Fight Club (Prime). Cheers!

Also tune in for some riveting chat about non stick cookware. What did you think of the film? Tweet us @lockdownfclub Next week's film is Dark Waters (Prime)
This week we review the quintessential Christmas film 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Reviews were universally high, although Dave doubted its credentials as an Xmas movie. This episode was recorded in a restaurant in Liverpool, so the sound quality isn't great, unfortunately. The banter is first class though. Our next film is Mank (Netflix). Cheers and Merry Christmas. See you in 2021 x
In this week's podcast we review Clint Eastwood's The 15:17 To Paris (Netflix). SPOILER ALERT: The film is a total dud and is officially our least favourite to date. Sorry, Mr Eastwood. You are a legend though. Next week's film is It's A Wonderful Life. Cheers!
After his life is saved by a rogue Iraqi squadron, a young police officer joins them in their fight against ISIS in a decimated Mosul. In this week's episode we review Mosul, a gritty Netflix original depicting the war on terror. Shannon couldn't fault the film and gave it an unprecedented 10/10. The rest of us were more discerning. What did you think? Tweet us at @lockdownfclub. Next week's film is The 15:17 to Paris (Netflix). Cheers!
In this week's podcast we review mobster/ coming of age film A Bronx Tale (Prime), directed by Robert De Niro. Most of the guys rated this very highly. Only Dave disagreed. Next week's film is District 9 (Prime), described by somebody as a film about "Scouse aliens in South Africa". Sounds great. Cheers!

Next week we review A Bronx Tale (Prime), which stars and was directed by Robert De Niro. Tweet us your thoughts @lockdownfclub Cheers!
In this week's podcast we review Sam Mendes' WW1 film 1917 (Prime). Mr Mendes has smashed it out of the park - this is our favourite film to date. Listen to the pod for some insights that the critics might have missed. And also for this poem, read so eloquently by Harry: The pain has stopped, For I am dead. But in a hundred years from now, I'll still be twenty one. My brief, sweet life is over, My eyes no longer see. No summer walks, No Christmas trees, No ...
In this week's pod we review and mostly pan Midsommar (Prime). Is it a horror? A psychological thriller? A black comedy? A fairy tale? A very slow porno? A 5 star movie? Apparently so. Yes, really. Next week's film is Calm With Horses (Netflix). It's Dave's last chance. Cheers!
In this week's pod we review Netflix's latest Oscar bait, The Trial of the Chicago 7. In short, we loved it. Everyone except Matt, that is. It is our joint highest-scoring film to date. Aaron Sorkin will be thrilled. To mark Hallowe'en, next week's film is Midsommar (Prime). Cheers!
