    Vote for the Spielberg Draft!

    On this week’s Lambcast we held our first Director Draft and focused on the one and only Steven Spielberg, you can (and should) listen to the show here. Now it’s time to vote for the team you think is the best! The poll is at the bottom , but first, the teams!

    Jeanette’s Team: Jurassic Park, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, Bridge of Spies, The Post

    LAMBCAST #418: THE SPIELBERG DRAFT

    Ready Player One is just a couple of weeks away from being released, and it’s a film we at the Lambcast are pretty excited about, so it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate the career of one of the greatest directors working today, and the best way we know to celebrate something is to critique, debate and flat-out fight over it in a draft.

    LAMBCAST #416: THE MUMMY (1999) MOTM

    It’s a podcast, what harm even came from listening to a podcast?

    It’s Mother Day’s in the UK this Sunday, and today is International Woman’s Day, so what better time to discuss 1999’s The Mummy? Jay was joined by Audrey Fox, Kristen Lopez, Zoe Rose Smith and Richard Kirkham to talk about the Stephen Sommers’ action-horror reboot in all it’s tomb-raiding, flesh-eating, fez-wearing...

    LAMBCAST #415-2: OSCARS IN REVIEW

    We watched the Oscars, listen to what we thought about it!

    A very tired and poorly Jay was joined by Audrey, Jeanette, Todd and Richard for a brief special discussion on this year’s Oscar ceremony, who won and how we feel about that.

    The show can be found, of course, via iTunes – just do a search for “LAMBcast.” Also, I always post a link to the show on the LAMBcast’s Facebook page, and there’s a player...

    The Oscars are just around the corner, only a couple of days away, so it must be time for our Oscar predictions show!

    Jay was joined by Vern, Howard, Rob and Justin to predict the bigger – and some of the smaller – awards for this Sunday’s ceremony.

    Also on tap: Rants and Raves of the Week and a round of the Rotten Tomatoes game.

    LAMBCAST Extra Portion #11: Acting School 101 – Steve McQueen ‘Reminder Post’

    As you should already know by now, Steve McQueen (RIP) is our actor of the month in the newly-revived Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held here on the LAMB site, I will also be hosting a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here!

    LAMBCAST #412: TWELVE MONKEYS MOTM

    I think at this point we can definitively say that if you want to win a Movie of the Month poll, your best bet is to submit a time travel movie (other than Primer of course).

    Chris Staron, on his first MOTM attempt, claimed victory and hosted the discussion on Terry Gilliam’s post-apocalyptic time travel film, and was joined by Jess Manzo, Sean Homrig, Robert Zerbe and Jay, making this another episode of Jay...

    LAMBCAST #411: M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN-A-THON

    It’s been a while since we’ve done a mammoth director retrospective, covering the entire career of a director with more than a handful of films. Usually we tend to cover more prestige film-makers with mostly consistent outputs, but alas that’s not the case this week.

    Jay was joined by Bubbawheat and Todd for a full run through of every film M. Night Shyamalan has ever directed. Why did we do this? It’s...

    LAMBCAST #408: ISHTAR MOTM

    It’s January, the month where the studios seem to dump their non-awards-worthy fare, so instead of wasting your time listening to podcasts about bad movies, why not listen to us talk about… oh, darn, we’re discussing Ishtar. Sorry about that.

    Jay was joined by Ishtar‘s champion Richard, along with a panel ranging from bemused to annoyed, but made up of Rebecca, Sean and Chris.

    Happy New Year everybody! Welcome to 2018, and what better way could there be to ring in the new year than by celebrating the best movies from the last one?

    Jay was joined by Howard, Kristen, Rebecca and Nick to rank their top movies of 2017. Thanks also to Richard, Rob, DJ, Tony and Vern for submitting voicemail messages stating their personal favourites too, and apologies to Cameron and Justin for losing the first recording...

    The winner of the Musical Draft is…

    A few weeks ago on the Lambcast we held a musical draft, since then you’ve been voting on the teams, and now it’s time to reveal the results!

    Victory goes to Jay – wait, that’s me! – whose team of Mary Poppins, The Blues Brothers, Moulin Rouge!, Chicago and Sing Street featured enough crowd-pleasers to garner the most votes, regardless of the fact that he doesn’t even like...
