This oversight has been noted and we’re here today to rectify it, right this very instant. Ten franchises (or almost-franchises) were submitted,...

    The vote has been cast and the results are in for March’s Movie of the Month! Five very different films were nominated, there can be only one winner and, given that it’s Oscar season, it seems only fitting that March’s winner is also a Best Picture nominee.

    Vote for February 2022’s Movie of the Month!

    The tradition, if you can call a three year old practice a tradition, has been that the hosts of the Lambcast choose the MOTM Poll selection for their Birthday Month. Until a full time co host joins the show, that means you will only suffer once a year with such selections. February is Richard’s Birthday month so here are the selections you get to vote for, with a brief explanation of why each is offered.
