    Vote for October’s Movie of the Month, Horror Special!

    It’s time to vote for October’s movie of the month! Hold up though, this month is a bit different. Not only is October’s Movie of the Month horror-themed, but it appears some ghostly gremlins have gotten into the polling plug-in, and are limiting the poll to at most three movies. This is a problem, as we’ve got ten! So for this month, and until this issue is resolved, we’ll be determining the MOTM with a...

    Quarantine Lambscores Part 2: April 2020

    Hey folks, remember April? Remember when everything closed and all us nonessential folk went home and realised there weren’t any new releases? We got a little glum, but thought “This’ll only be for a few weeks or so, we’ll be back in the cinemas by summer!” Ah, what sweet, naive children we were, and clearly the movie industry was just as hopeful and foolish, as April was pretty barren new-release-wise. That was...

    Quarantine Lambscores Part 1: March 2020 and Earlier

    Hi folks, hope everyone is keeping as well as possible in the mosquito-filled jockstrap that is 2020. As some of you may have noticed, this year’s cinema release schedule took something of a nosedive a few months ago, and the weekly Lambscores feature petered out along with it, but it’s back! And different! Kind of! For now at least! Exclamations!

    Anyway, a bunch of films got released digitally during that period of the...

    Welcome Back Students!

    Rob from MovieRob here!

    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.

    Obviously, there are thousands upon...

    LAMBCAST #543 SORRY TO BOTHER YOU MOTM

    Don’t mind us, we’re just talking about Sorry To Bother You, August’s Movie of the Month, no horsing around here.

    Jay was joined by Jeanette, Nick, Marc and Lisa to delve into the bizarre world of Boots Riley’s 2018 directorial debut Sorry To Bother You and everything it entailed. This is a lesser seen film that everyone on the show recommends should be experienced before listening to...
