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...
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).…
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...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Now entering the studio are today’s contestants…
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 was recently having a discussion with your Shep Joel about some various blogging- and LAMB-related things, and he said something interesting: “I like that there has been one of those typical 18 month shifts with a lot of new members etc.”
I’m not sure if it’s officially some kind of 18-month cycle, but the sentiment is true: the LAMBcast is going through (another) renaissance of new members. This...
No need for any fancy introduction this time out: it’s the sequel to the massive hit The Hunger Games, and it’s going to be one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. As such, the LAMBcast does its duty and covers the film with an episode devoted to it. On hand for the GAMES (not only did I go there, but I went BIG!) were your host Dylan, as well as French Toasties Lindsay and Jess, in addition to TWO newcomers...
Fall officially kicked off on September 22nd, and while the prestige film fare might not arrive simultaneously, we all know that the awards season (and the year’s second blockbuster season) come fairly quickly afterwards. As such, film buffs salivate over all of the potentially great films set to arrive from October through New Year’s. Here at the LAMBcast, it’s become an annual tradition to look forward and...
Wanna win the Movie of the Month poll?
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a lock – particularly not when there’s more than one film meeting the criteria – but choosing a film from pre-1965 seems to be a pretty solid strategy. I also wouldn’t go so far as to say that that was the strategy Dan Heaton had in mind when he chose Double Indemnity as his film to Champion, but the results...
Larry Clark is perhaps best known for the 1995 film Kids, which launched the careers of quite a few people: Rosario Dawson, Chloe Sevingy, Harmony Korrine, and Clark himself. But his 2001 film Bully – not to be confused with the 2011 documentary of the same name – is a similar piece of filmmaking, dealing with the angst and lifestyles of (mostly) teenagers, this time in Florida. It’s also based on a...
Long before Peter Jackson became known for becoming J.R.R. Tolkien or remaking King Kong, he was that big, hairy fella from New Zealand known for grossout horror comedies. His third feature was 1992’s Dead Alive , a film that wasn’t received all that well two decades ago but is now seen as a cult classic. The gang from French Toast Sunday championed the film after barely losing out to American...
