With the release of a new Tomb Raider film, Allen and Chris look back at Angelina Jolie’s pair….of films.

This month sees the release of a Tomb Raider reboot with Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft so it’s a perfect time to look back at the Angelina Jolie starring duo of films, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life. It would, of course, be all too easy for this episode to devolve into a bunch of jokes about boobs. So we totally do that.

In this episode:

Will we ever get a good computer game adaptation?

What Americans think of England

Good bad guy casting

Hey, it’s Daniel Craig!

Hey, it’s Gerard Butler!

The poor planning of shadowy criminal conspirators and their nemeses.

And the physics of planetary alignment

Remind yourself of the films here:
