The hunter says, “Yeah…we’re lost”. That joke is really bad, but let’s dive in to see if In The Lost Lands is not that bad.

Rocky IV was very much the most 80’s Rocky of the entire franchise. It was big, noisy and cheesy in all the right ways. It was also the only Rocky film not to be scored by Bill Conti. This week, we look at the pinnacle of Rocky soundtracks and what songs still hold up today.

The shows were good, the music was good…pop culture in the 90’s was at an all-time high. But, did the stars of the 90’s small screen translate to the theatres? Tune in as we make our picks of movies that brought to the big screen the denizens of “must see TV”.

Have you ever wondered why people have seemingly stopped going to the theatres? Is it because things are too expensive? Is it because of the quality of TVs people have at home nowadays? Or is it because you occasionally run the risk of people jumping out of their seats and losing their ish because some zombie decides to go chicken-back riding? I’ve never been more in favour of seatbelts and muzzles. Grab a pickaxe as we try to craft reasons why A Minecraft Movie is not that bad.
