LAMBCAST #447: A STAR IS BORN REMAKE-A-PALOOZA

by Jay Cluitt · October 9, 2018 · Featured, LAMBcast, Podcasts, Remakeapalooza · 2 Comments

Romance! Addiction! Swimming! These films truly have everything, and we’re here to talk about it.

Jay’s ambivalence left Richard in the hosting seat to discuss the latest version of A Star is Born, along with the three (or four) previous iterations of the story. Some are great, others feature Gary Busey.

Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week and the most relevant game of Last Lamb Standing ever.
