Hey everyone,
We at the LAMB decided to start a new annual competition for predicting Oscar nominations. (We will also be doing an Oscar Pool.) This year’s nominees will be announced on 22 Jan, so let’s get started with the rules:
The rules are quite simple:
1. This contest is open to any interested bloggers.
2. To submit your predictions: Fill out this form with your predictions for the 21...
It’s the penultimate Lambscores of 2018, and as such we’re elbow-deep in both awards- and family blockbuster season, so there’s plenty of both for your perusal today. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Aquaman, Bumblebee, Second Act, Welcome to Marwen, Mary Poppins Returns, Mary Queen of Scots and The Favourite:

Pedro Almodóvar has made some incredible films, but this is the first time we’re exploring his work on the Lambcast. January’s Movie of the Month is Talk To Her, a gripping and powerful story of two hospitalised women and the men who care for them.
Jay and Richard were joined by the film’s champion, Rebecca Sharp, as well as Jessica Manzo and a Lambcast newcomer, Marya Gates. Also on tap: Rants, Raves...
2018 is over, but can a year really be said to have ended until the Lambcast posts its best of that year podcast? Whether you say yes or no, the point is here’s that show.
Jay and Richard were joined by Audrey, Courtney and Nick to not only rank their top films of the year but also discuss the cinema vs streaming debate and give some tips and tricks on how best to fall asleep in the cinema. Also thanks to Le Anne, Vern,...
Just like last August, we’re doing something a little different for February’s Movie of the Month. In fact, every other month will be themed in some way. As we celebrated Jay’s birthday in August last year, so this year we’re celebrating Richard’s birthday, and as such he has selected the range of films to choose for February’s Movie of the Month. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are...
As you should already know by now, Rosamund Pike is our actor of the month in the newly-revived 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 Simon from the Moustache Movie News to discuss all...
Three films this week. There’s The Mule and Mortal Engines, fine, but also Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, aka the third-highest rated film of 2018 according to the LAMB community! To say I couldn’t be happier that this film is getting ranked so highly would be a lie, as somehow it’s still being beaten by the thoroughly average A Star is Born, but I’ll just be happy that so many...
Happy New Year from the LAMB! To celebrate the occasion, here’s a shiny new bonus episode of the Lambcast, and what will hopefully be the start of an annual tradition. Mercilessly (and with consent) ripped off from the Title Pending Movie Podcast we’re proud to present the 2019 Box Office Draft, in which a bunch of Lambcast regulars from around the world (four continents, five countries, maybe seven time zones) gathered together...
Wait, don’t dive for the remote! It’s time for the Lambcast’s ranking of the best TV shows of 2018!
Jay was joined by Getter, Vern, DJ and Jeanette to rank their best TV shows of the year, sing TV theme tunes and have a fun time reminiscing the past twelve months on the small screen. Also thanks to Tony and Nick for contributing their voicemail recordings.

The problem with films being released directly to Netflix is they’re easy to forget when it comes to compiling these amalgamated posts, hence why we’re a little late getting to the round-up for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It wasn’t completely forgotten though, so here’s what the LAMB community had to say about the latest offering from the brothers Coen:
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Happy Holidays from the LAMB, and as a gift from us, here’s a show all about Mary Poppins Returns!
Jay and Richard were joined by Heather, Doug and James to talk about lighting lamps, dancing on crockery and balloon-based comedy, listen to hear our thoughts!

The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
It’s almost a tradition at this point that January’s Movie of the Month winner is a film that’s, for some reason or another, deemed not great by most people. There have been exceptions, but just like with American cinemas January could be seen as a kind of dumping ground for films people don’t necessarily want to watch. Not so for January 2019! This...
