There’s a selection of smaller films for you this week, as the only major release was Jackie, but a bunch of others have now earned enough reviews for qualification. Therefore, here’s what the LAMB community also has to say about Elle, Under the Shadow, Bleed For This and Denial:

The holiday season is a busy old time of year for many of us, and here at the Lambcast it’s no exception. However we know our listeners demand content on a weekly basis, so here’s an episode we prepared earlier. It’s the traditional “filler” show of Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately, however as usual it went onto some ludicrous tangents, and proves once again that the greatest film discussions can come from the...
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...
