    The Movie of the Month for October 2018 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    It’s October, which means this month’s MOTM is a horror pick, and damn if there weren’t some horrific choices in the poll this month. This was a tighly-run and ever-changing race, with some last-ditch surges, Twitter involvements from relevant film-makers and an overhanging threat that we’d end up talking about Tusk. Fortunately that...

    LAMBCAST #445: WHATCHA BEEN WATCHIN LATELY?

    Honestly, I’m gone for a couple of shows and the show’s structure gets thrown right out the window.

    Traditionally on a Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately episode we’ll have some guests on and everyone will talk about one film they’ve seen recently. Not today! No, with Jay still away, Richard took sole hosting duties and let Cameron, Todd, David and Howard run amok, listing up to twelve films each, plus way...

    LAMBCAST #441: BRING A DISCUSSION TOPIC

    What do you do when you host a podcast, but there are no big movie releases and no obvious tie-ins to current events? It’s simple, you do a show on pretty much anything, and we call them Bring A Discussion Topics.

    Whilst Jay was off gallivanting around Wales, Richard stepped into the hosting chair and was joined by Audrey, Howard, Todd and Vern to cover every aspect of the movie-loving experience, from theatres to...

    PLUG: The Starving Artists and Other Stories by Howard Casner

    This is a plug for a new book by Howard Casner from Rantings and Ravings, a LAMB member and regular contributor to this site:

    It is available from Amazon at http://ow.ly/yTMD30l5qiK. And until noon, Monday, 7/30, the price is a mere $0.99, that’s right,...

    LAMBCAST #430: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION MOTM

    The latest Movie of the Month show is here! It’s been dragged through a river of shit and come out clean(ish) the other side. That’s right, this month is all about The Shawshank Redemption.

    Freshly-impounded co-host Richard Kirkham took the lead, and was joined by the film’s champion, Rob, along with Damien and Howard. And before go ahead and dismiss the show off hand as being a full-on love-in and...

    LAMBCAST #427: DEADPOOL 2

    Did you think the Deadpool films were just extremely violent comedies with a far higher ratio of butt jokes per minute (BJpM) than most other movies? Well here at the Lambcast we know there’s far more to it than that.

    Jay was joined by Kristen, Howard, Cameron and Darren to really dig into the second instalment starring the merc with a mouth, as we cover female archetypes, pansexuality and who knows what...

    LAMBCAST #402: MUSICAL DRAFT

    The hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiills are aliiiiive with the soooooound of podcasts!

    They said it would never happen – and by “they,” I mean “me,” mainly because I didn’t want to – but due to popular demand the Lambcast has opted for the musical genre to be the subject of its latest draft. Breaking out into song alongside Jay were Howard, Audrey, Todd and newcomer Kami Koren, who all competed to build...

    LAMBCAST #401: JUSTICE LEAGUE

    Avengers, assemb- what? Oh, wrong franchise, sorry.

    We’re taking a break from our Marvel idolising this week to take a look at the latest offering from the DC Expanded Universe, Justice League, a film fraught with production difficulties and the so-called “DC Curse”. Jay was joined by Robert Zerbe, Jeanette Ward, Richard Kirkham and Howard Casner to compare the film to our expectations, dissect some of the...
