    LAMBCAST #206 ROBOCOP

    For the 206th episode of the Lambcast we took a look at the latest remake to come out of Hollywood, Jose Padilha’s reboot of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi cult classic Robocop. Does it hold up to the original? Is Joel Kinnaman a decent Alex Murphy? Are Michael Keaton and Kevin Costner the same person? And, most importantly, will you buy it for a dollar? You’ll just have to listen to find out.

    LAMBCAST #205 THE WILD BUNCH MOTM

    It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to talk about a critically acclaimed film as the movie of the month, what with recent months delivering the likes of Timecop, Cocktail and Demolition Man, so it was something of a relief that, thanks to Will from Exploding Helicopter, we got to discuss Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 classic western The Wild Bunch.
