In order to open up an even wider discussion about films from all around the world, we’re going to begin celebrating holidays of national and international importance at The LAMB. These are going to be far less formal than Foreign Chops and will hopefully continue as annual events.
Our first subject is going to be Australia. Australia Day, the national holiday of Australia, is celebrated each year on January 26. It marks the...
Jean Claude Van Damme! Time travelling! Kicking things! This month’s Movie of the Month champion is not what you’d necessarily call a “good” film, but it certainly provoked an entertaining discussion covering the career of JCVD, the ramifications of time travel and whether or not the same matter can share the same space (it can… but it can’t).…

...If it seems as though we just keep getting more and more ambitious with these lookbacks/retrospectives…well, that’s pretty much true. That said, we’re not insane. The Coen Brothers had 15 films in their filmography prior to Inside Llewyn Davis; as much as we might have liked to watch all 15, that would make for at least a four-hour podcast, to say nothing of the time involved in watching/rewatching all of them...
This week we have a pair of very different comedies for you. First up we have the melancholy of the Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis. On the other side, we have the highly anticipated sequel Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Find out what the lammies thought of these films and be sure to check out the forums as well.

The sequel was years overdue, so why shouldn’t the podcast about the sequel be a few days late as well?
Justin hosts this svelte episode (co-starring Lindsay and Dan Clark) on the long-awaited comedy. Was the wait worth it? What bits hits and which bombed? Can lightning be caught in a bottle of Sex Panther once again? These questions and many more will be answered by our hard-hitting team.
After that came Rants...
We’ve got a trio of major releases this week and they’re sure to result in some interesting reviews. First, David O. Russell teams up with some old friends for his latest ensemble dramedy American Hustle. Next, Disney/Mary Poppins gets the biopic treatment with Saving Mr. Banks. To top it off, we also have the 2nd installment in the prolonged...
