We’ve held many director retrospectives on the Lambcast but, somewhat unforgivably, we’ve never covered a female director. Well all that changes today, because this week’s show is dedicated to the works of Ava DuVernay.
To celebrate the release of her latest film, A Wrinkle In Time, Jay was joined by Audrey, Rebecca, Chris and Cameron to look at her documentaries and feature films, half of which are...
Just two films for you this week, neither of which I thought looked particularly good, but that could be more for my general disinterest in Jennifer Lawrence than anything else. Anyway, here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Red Sparrow and Death Wish:
Red Sparrow
LAMB Average: 2.88 (8 sites)
Kirkham A Movie A Day (4)
CineMarvellous! (3.5)
On this week’s Lambcast we held our first Director Draft and focused on the one and only Steven Spielberg, you can (and should) listen to the show here. Now it’s time to vote for the team you think is the best! The poll is at the bottom , but first, the teams!
Jeanette’s Team: Jurassic Park, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, Bridge of Spies, The Post
Jay’s...
We’ve got two movies for you this week. First up is Annihilation, Alex Garland’s follow-up to Ex Machina, which went straight to Netflix everywhere outside of the US (fine by me, it means I’ve seen it), and then there’s Game Night, which sounds far better than expected. Check them out, and check out the reviews from the LAMB community:
Annihilation
Ready Player One is just a couple of weeks away from being released, and it’s a film we at the Lambcast are pretty excited about, so it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate the career of one of the greatest directors working today, and the best way we know to celebrate something is to critique, debate and flat-out fight over it in a draft.

The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
As is customary, our April Movie of the Month is a franchise special, and as usual we had a pretty diverse range of franchises put forward, from animation to superheroes, indie romance to, well, Tremors, but there’s no real shock as to what eventually won, although some others were chasing like a giant boulder rolling behind it for some time. If that’s not a big...
I don’t mean to disrespect the previous few weeks of Lambscores, but I think it’s fair to say that today is where 2018’s films really begin, at least in terms of spectacle. Paddington 2 may still hold the top spot for the year so far (a fact I am in no way annoyed by), but in terms of a cultural milestone and slice of event cinema you can’t really compare anything so far to Black Panther. As such I...
Welcome Back Students!
Rob from MovieRob here!
Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this reignited 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...
This month’s Acting School 101 teacher was Steve McQueen.
We received a total of 63 reviews for 27 films that Steve McQueen had parts in.
That’s quite an impressive amount.
Let’s see what the members of the LAMB community thought of Steve McQueen’s career:
An Enemy of the People (1)

Baby the Rain Must Fall...
It’s time for everyone’s favourite time of the year, Celebrity Lambpardy!
Alas your regular celebrity host, Sean Connery, was too ill to record, but fortunately Nicolas Cage stepped up to the plate to attempt to wrangle this year’s competitors in some kind of order. Joining him in the Lambpardy studio were Matthew McConaughey, Swedish Chef, Jimmy Stewart, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Fierstein and Al...
Apologies for the lack of Lambscores post these past few weeks, but things are back to normal now with a back log of reviews for the movies we should have covered in the past month. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about them:
Peter Rabbit
LAMB Average: 3.20 (5 sites)
The MN Movie Man (4)
The Code is Zeek (3.5)
Citizen Charlie (3)
Lolo Loves Films...
It’s a podcast, what harm even came from listening to a podcast?
It’s Mother Day’s in the UK this Sunday, and today is International Woman’s Day, so what better time to discuss 1999’s The Mummy? Jay was joined by Audrey Fox, Kristen Lopez, Zoe Rose Smith and Richard Kirkham to talk about the Stephen Sommers’ action-horror reboot in all it’s tomb-raiding, flesh-eating, fez-wearing...
