    LAMBCAST #474 SPECIES FRANCHISE MOTM

    The Godfather! Back to the Future! Indiana Jones! Airport! … Species? That’s right, the latest addition to the ranks of our Movie of the Month franchise specials is the Species franchise, which also joins Airport in garnering my response of “Wait, that’s a franchise?”

    As the series’ champion, Vern is once again hosting another Movie of the Month show about a subject with a less than fresh...

    Lambscores: Captive State, Five Feet Apart, Wonder Park

    Three films this week, but judging by the scores none of them are all that much to write home about, presumably why they’ve all been released in Captain Marvel‘s wake. Here’s what the LAMB community had to say about Five Feet Apart, Captive State and Wonder Park:

    Five Feet Apart
    LAMB Average: 2.93 (7 sites)

    LAMBCAST #471 SILVERADO MOTM

    It’d be understandable if you thought you were experiencing deja vu, as it’s movie of the month time, we’re talking about a western, and there’s a Kirkham at the helm of the show’s feature discussion, but whilst there are some similarities between Silverado and Tombstone, this is a different (and potentially better?) film in its own right.

    Amanda Kirkham is once again in charge of...

    Acting School 101 – April 2019 Introduction – Doris Day

    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...
