New on Amazon Prime Video UK April 2021: Palm Springs, Sound of Metal & More!

The past year in lockdown may make the idea of a comedy about being stuck in an endlessly repeating loop feel a little too close to home, but Palm Springs starring Andy Samburg and Cristin Milioti, which arrives on Friday the 9th of April, is fresh and funny and well worth your time.

Palm Springs Timeline Explained

Jessica Rothe’s Tree Gelbman stopped the homicidal output of a vengeful slasher in Happy Death Day by unravelling a very bloody mystery on her own terms, and even Tom Cruise had to convince Emily Blunt to help him out each time he awoke from his unhappy slumber in Edge of Tomorrow, but in Palm Springs, Andy Samberg manages to drag Cristin Milioti…
