    The Movie of the Month for January 2018 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    There have been a few exceptions, but traditionally – an unintentionally – the Movie Of The Month for January is often a film not widely regarded as being critically, um, good. Whether that is the case for January 2018 is yet to be determined, but for now let’s say that if the film turns out to be terrible, I for one won’t be all that surprised....

    Acting School 101 – January Introduction – Faye Dunaway

    Welcome Back Students!

    Rob from MovieRob here!

    Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this reignited 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...

    LAMBCAST #400a: MOTM MY GIRL

    My Girl! My Girl? My Girl! Talkin’ ’bout My Girl!

    My Girl won the Movie of the Month for November, so we covered it as one of the mini segments in the epic 400th Lambcast Extravangaza, but it didn’t feel right to short change the movie like that. To make up for it, Kristen, Audrey and Jay stuck around and recorded this special bonus discussion, to dig a little deeper than we were able to do in...

    The Movie of the Month for December 2017 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    As usual the December Movie of the Month is a holiday special and this year whilst six films were submitted, there may as well have only been one. This poll was over within a few hours of it being opened because one of the submissions is often regarded as not only one of – if not the – greatest Christmas movies of all time, but also one of the best movies full...
