I think that this series is a great way to get a look at what the members of the Lamb community think about the work of some of the most prolific actors/actresses who have been entertaining us all for so many years.
I plan to try and focus on an actor or actress every month who has a birthday in that given calendar 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.

This time around the film in question might be vying with Batman...

Misogynistic, Homophobic, Racist, are all terms that you will hear in today’s show, you will also hear, Funny, Entertaining, and Innovative.
