The cinematic world is full of films forever being remade and rebooted, so it’s time for a whole new kind of Lambcast show devoted to these things, kicking off with a voyage to Skull Island to look at the many faces of King Kong.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Robert Zerbe, Aaron Neuwirth and David Brook to look at the respected original 1933 King Kong, the far sleazier 1976 version and Peter Jackson’s divisive 2005...
If there’s one thing we like to do on the Lambcast it’s talk about movies in general, but sometimes we need a little prompt as to what exactly we should be talking about, which is where the Bring A Discussion Topic shows come in. Here everyone brings a mini topic along, throws it out into the group and see what comes back.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Nicole Ayers, Nick Rehak, Heather Baxendale and former host Dylan...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
There have been many proven methods of winning a Movie of the Month poll. You can email-blast everyone you know to get them to vote for, say, Demolition Man. You can plug away time and again with the same film until the likes of, say, White Men Can’t Jump eventually wins. Or you can wait for a month where yours is the only film put forward, pushing,...
Daniel Craig may have had enough of playing Bond, but we’ll never get sick of talking about him. He, along with his supporting cast and director Sam Mendes, have all returned from the record-breaking and frankly phenomenal Skyfall for Spectre, the 24th James Bond outing and the 4th to star Mr. Craig. In typical big release fashion, we of course ripped the heck out of it.

A man is cheating on his wife. A woman is not who she seems. Nosy fellas lose their noses. There’s a plot afoot, and we need to solve it.…

Ah, Halloween, that one day a year when I’m split between the three-way ultimatum of heading out into a world filled with drunken, costumed, sticky depravity, hiding in my home with the lights off or opening myself up for the possibility of interaction with children, yet for some reason the rest of the world seems to embrace it. Thus, to round out October’s month-long devotion to the horror genre, we’ve rounded up a gang of...
Continuing the Lambcast’s month of horror sees us looking at a director noted for some pivotal moments within the genre, John Carpenter. He formed and popularised the slasher movie template with Halloween, made everyone fear their fellow man with The Thing and turned a man into a giant pile of beetles in Prince of Darkness.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Daniel Lackey, David Brook, Darren Lucas and semi-newcomer Will...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Sometimes it takes perseverance to make a film Movie of the Month. This past month we had six films up for the voting, three of which had been put forward multiple times before, and for one of those lucky three it’s now time to discuss it. Jason has put The Babadook forward several times this year so far, Joel has put Body Double forward more times...
Holed up in a basement in the ghetto, five people sit huddled together recording a podcast. Fortunately their tongues have not been removed so it’s not some indecipherable groans and murmurs, and instead they can discuss Wes Craven’s slightly lesser known film, The People Under the Stairs.

A few weeks ago – or, if you’re a time traveller, at some point in history in either the past, present or future – we held/will hold/are currently holding a sci-fi movie draft. I was joined by Nick, Bubbawheat, Will and Todd to each compete and attempt to assemble the best team of science fiction movies. You can listen to the hugely entertaining and debate-filled show here. The teams we selected were put to the vote by the...
Cor blimey guv’nor, the Lambs only went and bleedin’ well met up in Lahndahn, dinnae? Can’t believe me mince pies ‘n’ King Lears.
Ahem. The third annual LAMB meet-up has occurred! Hurrah! This time it was held in England, providing a much more international flavour than the previous two American-centric affairs. Much delicious food was eaten, alcohol was drunk and movies were both watched and...
