In the lull before all the Summer Box Office Competition starts, the Lambcast this week takes an opportunity to check in on what our guests have been watching, anywhere. We ended up with some films that are in theaters currently and some movies that were in theaters 90 years ago. Once again, the Criterion Channel should be paying us ad fees for the referrals we are providing.

Round One

James Wilson, Howard Casner and Todd...

This week the Lambcast tackles one of the most monumental film franchises of all time, Peter Jackson’s adaptions of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”. Heather Baxendale-Walsh championed the Franchise to victory in the poll and she takes over the discussion with the passion you would expect from a huge fantasy fan. Howard Casner, Todd Liebenow and Matthew Simpson join our fellowship for the podcast and everyone...

Are you ready to drop a little ecstasy and go dancing? Or maybe you just need to pick up a little extra cash to make the rent. If you want, we can set you up to sell Amway. Whatever you are looking for, you may very well find it on this Movie of the Month Episode, featuring the 1999 Crime/Comedy “Go”.

Sarah Polley, Jay Mohr, Katie Holmes, Timothy Olyphant, Scott Wolf, and more “Go” out for a...

It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! Eight* LAMB members have submitted films, you’ve got two weeks to vote for your favourite, and the winner will get a Lambcast episode dedicated to it! Plus, the film’s champion gets to appear on that episode and host the feature discussion. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the options:

As you should already know by now, Robert Downey Jr. is our actor of the month in the Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held here on the LAMB site, I will also be hosting a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here!

I was joined by Darren Lucas from Movie Reviews 101...

Welcome Back Students!

Rob from MovieRob here!

I think that this series is a great way to get a look at what the members of the Lamb community think about the work of some of the most prolific actors/actresses who have been entertaining us all for so many years.

I plan to try and focus on an actor or actress every month who has a birthday in that given calendar month.

Obviously, there are thousands upon...

This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Rachel Weisz.

We received a total of 113 reviews for 30 films that Rachel Weisz had parts in.

That’s quite an impressive amount.

Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Rachel Weisz‘s career:

It is hard to imagine that we went through this whole episode without the obvious Dad Joke, “How can I have Morbius if I haven’t had any yet?” If we can skip a corny line like that, you know you will be getting a sophisticated analysis of the new Marvel/Sony adjacent comic book movie. Okay, that may be overstating it a little but we do treat the film fairly.

Before we get to the comic book movie though, we...

Hello everyone, it’s time to reveal who the featured director for April will be and this month, given the release of the new Fantastic Beasts film, I’ve decided to highlight the work of David Yates.

Yates got his start with the short film When I Was a Girl, which he shot in Swindon, which was named...

Hello everyone, it’s time to showcase the features sent to me on the films of Matt Reeves. Thanks to everyone who sent pieces in. Without further ado, let’s dive in.

Cloverfield

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:

Once more into the “Wayback Machine”, the Lambcast travels to 2004 for a retrospective on films from that year. Everyone had a different reason for the choices that we made, and the Pineapple Kiosk rule only came up twice as a result. None of the Oscar Nominated films managed to get into our discussion, and only two of the top ten box office films made our lists, we had a pretty diverse selection of films to recommend for you....
