For the 206th episode of the Lambcast we took a look at the latest remake to come out of Hollywood, Jose Padilha’s reboot of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi cult classic Robocop. Does it hold up to the original? Is Joel Kinnaman a decent Alex Murphy? Are Michael Keaton and Kevin Costner the same person? And, most importantly, will you buy it for a dollar? You’ll just have to listen to find out.

It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to talk about a critically acclaimed film as the movie of the month, what with recent months delivering the likes of Timecop, Cocktail and Demolition Man, so it was something of a relief that, thanks to Will from Exploding Helicopter, we got to discuss Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 classic western The Wild Bunch.
It was only fitting that the most American of movie genres had...
A lot of movie podcasts have a regular feature in which they discuss the latest films they’ve seen. We don’t normally do that here; instead we just wait and dedicate an entire episode to it!
Technical and scheduling issues resulted in a three-man show, with host Jay Cluitt joined by Jason Soto and Todd Liebenow, but this resulted in a meandering discussion that took in everything from the early career of Hayden...
Looking ahead, you may not think there’s too many good films coming out over the course of the next year, especially when you consider how full 2015 is looking. Well, you may be right, but that didn’t stop host Jay Cluitt, along with guests Justin Gott, Jess Manzo, Mette Kowalski and Kristen Lopez, as they listed their top 5 most anticipated films of the upcoming year. Don’t worry though, there’s still a fair few gems...
The past few months have seen some less than stellar movies being crowned Movie of the Month. Now, granted, the likes of Demolition Man, Cocktail, White Men Can’t Jump and Timecop all inspired entertaining discussion, but you won’t find many of them adorning Best Of lists.
That’s all changed this month, as first time contender Will of Exploding Helicopter has successfully beaten out the competition with Sam...
2013 has been and gone, so it’s about time we here at the Lambcast paid it a fitting farewell by reminiscing over our favourite films from the year, and boy did we do it in style. Host Jay Cluitt was joined by Lindsay Street, Shane Slater, Jessica Elgenstierna and Kristen Lopez to reel off their top 5s, before awarding some random Lamb (Lamb-dom? No.) awards wherever they felt necessary.
Also on hand were rants and raves...
Jean Claude Van Damme! Time travelling! Kicking things! This month’s Movie of the Month champion is not what you’d necessarily call a “good” film, but it certainly provoked an entertaining discussion covering the career of JCVD, the ramifications of time travel and whether or not the same matter can share the same space (it can… but it can’t).…

If it seems as though we just keep getting more and more ambitious with these lookbacks/retrospectives…well, that’s pretty much true. That said, we’re not insane. The Coen Brothers had 15 films in their filmography prior to Inside Llewyn Davis; as much as we might have liked to watch all 15, that would make for at least a four-hour podcast, to say nothing of the time involved in watching/rewatching all of them...
The sequel was years overdue, so why shouldn’t the podcast about the sequel be a few days late as well?
Justin hosts this svelte episode (co-starring Lindsay and Dan Clark) on the long-awaited comedy. Was the wait worth it? What bits hits and which bombed? Can lightning be caught in a bottle of Sex Panther once again? These questions and many more will be answered by our hard-hitting team.
After that came Rants...

First up is our NEW returning champion, Robert of To The Escape Hatch, who won impressively over our prior champ, Nick Powell. Was that a fluke or is he the real deal? We’ll find out this week, as he takes on first-time player Matt of Simplistic Reviews, as well as returning player Nick Rehak of French Toast...
I don’t know if it’s a slight against the film or not, but this is the entirety of the IMDb summary of our most recent Movie of the Month, Cocktail:
“A talented New York bartender takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love.“
If you’re a normal movie blogger at all, you’re probably wondering why and how this film came to be the Movie of the Month. For the...
