Honestly, I’m gone for a couple of shows and the show’s structure gets thrown right out the window.
Traditionally on a Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately episode we’ll have some guests on and everyone will talk about one film they’ve seen recently. Not today! No, with Jay still away, Richard took sole hosting duties and let Cameron, Todd, David and Howard run amok, listing up to twelve films each, plus way...
One film this week. Just one, and coincidentally that’s also the score it got. It seems the premise of Who Framed Roger Rabbit but with puppets and silly string jizz just wasn’t enough to make an actually decent film. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Happytime Murders:

It’s Lambpardy time again!
There’s two competitions in one in this week’s round of Lambpardy. Yes, returning champion Chris “Tank” Tanski is back to try and defend his title against some new competitors, but there’s something much more important going on amongst those very opponents – sibling rivalry. That’s right, for the first time in Lambpardy history we’ve got siblings...
Two films! One is amongst the top 10 of the year, the other is probably amongst the bottom 10, but we don’t really keep track of that. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Crazy Rich Asians and Mile 22:

You know what happens when Vern submits a film for Movie of the Month? We end up talking about Showgirls.
After Howard the Duck, Jay basically vowed to never let Vern host a MOTM show again, yet somehow this happened, so in protest Jay isn’t here this week and Richard reluctantly took the hosting reigns to try and wrangle Vern, Chris and Doug towards a sensible discussion of a movie that begs the...
It probably says something about me that of today’s two movies I haven’t seen the critically acclaimed, historically significant and dramatically insightful BlacKkKlansman, but I have seen the movie where Jason Statham fights an old giant dinosaur shark. Hell, we even did a podcast on it. Judging by the reviews though I clearly made the wrong choice (regardless of how much fun I had watching The Meg). Anyway,...
2018 Movies! 2018 Trailers! Dark comedies! Heists! They’re all here for the listing on this week’s Lambcast!
Jay was joined by Nick, Damien and newcomer Troy to reel off top 5 lists on whatever topics they chose, and derail the conversation with numerous tangents and anecdotes along the way, you know the drill. Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the week and a game!

Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) [Troy Anderson, Andersonvision]
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) [Daniel Lackey, Lackey on Film]
Yes I’m proud of that title. Judge all you like. Given the reviews below, it may well be better than the two films we’re looking at this week. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Christopher Robin and The Spy Who Dumped Me:
