Two films this week, one a strong contender for the Best Animated Feature awards, and the other a film that looked promising early on, but sadly received enough lacklustre reviews to discount it from many of the big prizes. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Moana and Allied:

Fear not dear listeners, we’ve found something more important to do a show on than another week of Christmas movies, there’s a new Star Wars film out!
Jay Cluitt was joined for a discussion on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Rebecca Sharp, Robert Zerbe, Jeanette Ward, DJ Valentine and Heather Baxendale. They covered everything from their favourite characters to how it fits into the expanded...
Two films this week, one an under-seen but apparently quite good teen comedy, the other a disappointing spin-off that will hopefully lead to more promising sequels. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about The Edge of Seventeen and Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them:

It’s the festive season here at the LAMB, and that can mean only one thing: competing! We recently held a Christmas Movie Draft on the Lambcast, and now it’s time for you to vote on who you think picked the best team out of Dylan, Richard, Audrey, Todd or Jay. You can listen to the show here: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2016-12-07T14_35_17-08_00 and here are the teams:…

If you’re idea of a podcast filled with the festive spirit is everyone getting along, treating each other with love and kindness and generally having a jolly good time, then I’d suggest you look elsewhere. For here at the Lambcast we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas – bitterness, spite, arguing, and no-one really getting what they wanted.
That’s right, for our latest draft show we’re competing...
Just the one release for you this week, but fortunately it’s a good one, Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say:

It’s Lambpardy time on the Lambcast, so once again Jay has been scouring the LAMB community’s best trivia fans to try and find someone to take down the reigning champion, who will face him this time?
Jay Cluitt hosted as usual, as reigning champion Aaron Neuwirth took on two new contenders, Howard Casner and a newbie to the show, Chris “Tank” Tanski. Was it another film-fact slaughter? Did Aaron tie with...
War, magic and glitter are the themes of the week with this batch of Lambscores, as we take a look at what the LAMB community has to say about Hacksaw Ridge, Doctor Strange and Trolls:

J.K.Rowling’s wizarding world has returned with a spin-off prequel following Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) on a quest to track down the magical creatures that escaped his suitcase, and that sounds just strange enough for us to talk about.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Kristen Lopez, Mario Brown, Tony Cogan and Bubbawheat to discuss Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, along with the future of the franchise,...
The Lambscores leaderboard is being shaken up this week, with a flurry of smaller movies achieving enough reviews to be deemed worthy of collating. Two of the highest ranking films from the year – 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Lobster – have been knocked off the list by two other newcomers, Moonlight and The Handmaiden, meaning instead of having seen six of our Top 10, I’ve now only gotten...
It’s Movie of the Month time again on the Lambcast, and for the month of November we’re looking at a largely forgotten 1945 Agatha Christie adaptation, And Then There Were None, which sees 10 strangers summoned to a secluded island by a mystery host, only to find themselves killed off one by one.
Newcomer Sean Homrig championed the film, and was joined by Jeanette Ward, Lindsay Street and regular host Jay...
There’s a new Marvel movie out! That means we’re doing a show on it!
Jay Cluitt is joined by Robert Zerbe, Brendan Cassidy, Courtney Small and Bubbawheat to discuss Doctor Strange, the 14th entry in the MCU and the first to star Benedict Cumberbatch as the surgeon-turned-sorceror. Is it just another origin story, or is there more to it? Listen to find out! The discussion starts off spoiler-free, but we tackle...
