    The MOTM for May 2014 will be…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon! And boy was it a nail-biter this time around!

    It was pretty close for four of the five films for almost the entire run (sadly my own All About Eve never really got off the starting block), but in the last few hours there was a last ditch attempt for both Rosemary’s Baby and Shame, with Shame eventually taking the crown by one solitary...

    LAMBCAST #214 BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY MOTM

    We’ve been going through a faze as of late with our Movie of the Months – if you want to get picked, it seems the best thing to do is champion a time travel movie. So when the Lambcast’s first trilogy edition came around and not one but three immensely popular time travel films were submitted, it’s no surprise that they won.

    Todd Liebenow was the successful victor with his choice of the Back to the...

    LAMBCAST #210 THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL

    It seems strangely fitting that a film with so many famous people in it should be discussed on a Lambcast with the fewest amount of guests in over 150 episodes.

    The latest all-star Wes Anderson movie was highly praised by host Jay Cluitt and all-round amazing guest Nick Rehak, who more than made up for the lack of additional guests by being the film’s number one cheerleader.

    Also on tap were many rants and raves of...
