How are you getting involved in the festival?

The more prestige movies have all been released in time for the awards season, leaving the studios to fill the screens with the dregs left at the bottom of their barrels. Well, we here at the Lambcast seem to follow a similar schedule because, just as last January we celebrated the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Timecop, this month we get down and confused with...

2014 cannot officially be over until the Lambcast has posted its Best of 2014 show, so I guess we’re now definitely in 2015, because here’s that very show.
Jay Cluitt and Robert Zerbe were joined by DJ Valentine, Eric Hillis and recurring Best of show regular Lindsay Street to count down their Top 5 movies of the year, hand out some personal awards and generally discuss 2014 in movies. And what year end show would...
We’ve got new set of reviews for you this week, with a pair of releases from opposite ends of the quality spectrum. Chris Rock’s new comedy Top Five is also a Top Ten, finding a spot among the year’s highest LAMBScores. On the other hand, the controversial biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings failed to impress.

A rather sickly Jay Cluitt was joined by his co-host Robert Zerbe, as well as Dylan Fields, Todd...

Peter Jackson’s time in Middle Earth has once again come to an end with the closing part of The Hobbit’s trilogy, The Battle of the Five Armies. As I’m a massive fan of the previous Hobbit movies and the Lord of the Rings saga, it seemed only right to devote a show to the trilogy, so here it is.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by fellow Hobbit-lovers Will Kouf, Nick Rehak and kind-of-but-not-really...
We’re back this week a new set of reviews for you. Check out what the lammies had to say about The Theory of Everything, The Babadook and Horrible Bosses 2:
Rotten Tomatoes: 4.05 (81%)
It’s been a very long time since we’ve done one of these shows, but considering how well this one turned out we’ll definitely be doing another one again soon.
Host Jay was joined by Nick, Will and Todd to talk Christmas traditions, 2014 in film, trailer trashing and reviewing the unreviewable, but really this was just four guys going on all sorts of tangents, particularly Will, who seemed intent on making a...
We’ve only got one new release on top this week, but it’s a big one. It’s none other than The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Did the lammies dig this first part of the franchise’s conclusion? Find out below and don’t forget to add your reviews in the forums.

’twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except… for the five of us on this podcast talking about Die Hard 2.
It’s the first ever festive-special Movie of the Month (not counting Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which won regardless of its Christmas-setting) and the character-actor filled action sequel won the poll, allowing Will Slater to take another turn in the...
