Cinema Royale: Talking ‘The Northman’ And ‘Ambulance’ (Special Guest: Chris Bumbray of Joblo.com)

From a brutal Viking revenge thriller to a Michael Bay car chase through the streets of L.A., this week’s Cinema Royale is all action, all the time! On this week’s show, I’m joined by my homie Christopher Bumbray of Joblo.com to talk about Robert Eggers’ brutal tale of vengeance, The Northman, starring Alexander Skarsgard like you’ve never seen him before!

Plus, we discuss Michael Bay’s high-octane flick Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza Gonzalez. As both diehard Bay fans, we talk about whether this is a return to form, and why the film hasn’t connected with audiences. Will the movie’s failure have an impact on future action movies?

All of this and more, of course! You can subscribe to Cinema Royale wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to do the same on Youtube! Follow the Punch Drunk Critics and Cinema Royale!
