The LAMBcast

Santa has slid down the chimney this month with something a little dark. Come and listen to what the Lambcast guests had to say about Mel Gibson as a cantankerous Santa, Walton Goggins as a remorseless hitman and Canada as the land of bureaucratic forms.

Although there are still lockdowns that are keeping theaters closed, there are still films being offered in their traditional format, at the Cinema. We found enough of the Lamb flock who were able to get out and see the new horror/comedy mashup "Freaky" and we spend some time talking about it.

It's the end of an era on the Lambcast. Jay has hosted since episode 200, but he's now heading off for pastures new, and leaving Richard the keys to the Lambcast paddock. In commemoration, he threw himself a leaving party and invited all your favourite Lambcast guests to join in the fun! This show is the longest in Lambcast history, over 4 hours of mostly film-related nonsense and entertainment, e...

Patience pays off for Lamb Jeanette Ward as the film she has been championing for months, has finally won. 2001's "Mean Machine", an English remake of "The Longest Yard", features a cast of U.K. actors taking over a sports, comedy, prison drama and making it their own. Soccer personality and Guy Ritchie actor Vinnie Jones, basically plays himself, a disgraced footballer who goes to prison and has...

Six Lambs, Six Bonds, 24 Movies, Countless cars gadgets, villains and of course women results in a fun show as we draft components to make up our own 007 films. Jay and Richard are joined by MovieRob, Jeanette Ward, Mark Hofmeyer and David Brook for a fifteen round extravaganza of Bond minutiae with discussion about weapons, plots and henchmen. See who drafted the best list of components and hear...

Lambpardy is back, but not as you know it! It's the dawn of a new age of Lambpardy. Gone are the previous contestants, gone is the winner-stays-on format, replaced instead with shiny new contestants and an even shinier, even newer tournament-style championship! The winner from today's show will not be back for the next one, they'll face off against the next two winners, then we'll reset back to sq...

Jay returns after a holiday, but continues to take it easy as Jason Soto, winner of the Movie of the Month hosts the discussion of Host (irony?) Host will be both the most recent film to be a movie of the month winner but also the shortest movie of the month. It's October so spooky films were called for and this one fit the bill.

Richard and Guests, Nolan and Sean Homrig, wander around the cinemascape looking at little discussed movies from the past to the present. From kung fu canines to wacky westerns, you should join us as we take some roads less traveled.

Sometimes it takes perseverance, hard work and trying again and again to achieve success. That was the case for this month's Movie of the Month winner, Audrey, who put Sing Street forward time and again until it eventually defeated the other competitors. That's not so much a rule for the film though, in which sometimes you can just pick up a guitar and almost immediately be a great musician. Regar...

This week Richard and Jay Time travel in an inverted universe with Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated and twice delayed summer blockbuster. Is it worth your time? Join Meg Hyland, Thomas Stoneham-Judge and Tony Coogan in figuring out exactly what the hell is going on.

We've been waiting for a scheduled release of No Time To Die and, frankly, who knows when that will definitely be, so we've just gone ahead and finished our six-part James Bond Franchise Lookback regardless. Richard and Jay were joined by DJ, Justin and newcomer Tyler to ride the rollercoaster of quality that is Daniel Craig's Bond career, taking in some of the best films, characters and scenes, a...

Yes, we know Tenet has been delayed again. No, we're not talking about it. Instead we figured we'd heighten our expectations even further by talking about all the other films Christopher Nolan has directed. At least, all the ones that don't involve Batman. Jay and Richard were joined by DJ, Zoe and Patricia to play around with time, magic and British accents as they delved through Nolan's filmogra...

Top Gun: Maverick should've been landing in our cinemas around about now, but at present it's changed course for a December arrival, but for all we know it could be circling overhead for even longer at the rate things are going. There are, however, plenty of films still out there in the world, one of which is the original Top Gun, directed by Tony Scott, so we're here today for a Tony Scott retros...

In the non-Darkest Timeline version of the world, this show would be about Pixar's latest, Soul, which may well be the greatest film they've made, we just don't know as it isn't out yet. What we do know, though, is the greatest movie that Pixar has released, and we're here today to tell it to you. Jay and Richard were joined by David, Thomas and Doug to quickly, then gradually, then suddenly very...

We're back with Bond! Jay, his dogs and Richard were joined by Simon, Meg, Nick and Jeanette to discuss the next four movies in the James Bond franchise, all of which star Pierce Brosnan amidst a cornucopia of villains and allies, improbable gadgets and ridiculous cars. 00:00 Introductions 03:36 Simon ranks the Bonds 05:29 Meg ranks the Bonds 07:23 Brosnan as Bond 20:45 The Women 39:42 The Allies...

The name's four, part four, of the Lambcast's coverage of the James Bond franchise; licence to discuss the Bond movies four films at a time. This time Jay and Richard were joined by three more Bond fans, all of different Lambcast guest calibre. Todd is a regular, familiar to all. Darren is a newcomer experiencing not just his first Lambcast but his first podcasting mission ever. And Fogs, well Fog...

No Time To Die? More importantly, do you have time to listen? It's the third instalment in the Lambcast's James Bond Franchise lookback! That's right, Jay and Richard are back, and this time are joined by Aaron, Rebecca and newcomer Terry to discuss four Roger Moore movies for your ears only. The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker and For Your Eyes Only were all put under Q's...

James Bond is back, and so are we to talk about him and his next batch of exploits. Richard and Jay are joined by Jeanette, Heather and Sean to discuss four movies, three Bonds, three Blofelds one incredibly realistic compressed gas cannister and our most divisive Bond yet, plus breakfast "sausage" and running with geese! 4:47 Sean ranks the Jurassic Park franchise 7:16 Our histories with Bond 17:...

The name's cast, Lambcast, licence to discuss movie franchises. We're taking inspiration from ourselves, namely how we split up the Harry Potter franchise last year, and chopping up the James Bond movies into six chunks, which we'll hit at a leisurely pace over the next year. We're kicking things off with, somewhat predictably, the first four films: Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Th...

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 glory. Also on ta...

[EDIT: There was a problem with the audio for the Remake-A-Palooza section, this version has fixed that.] So apparently the LAMB celebrated it's 10th birthday a few weeks ago (October 31st to be exact) but what with all the hubbub around other areas of life it somehow got forgotten. Worry not dear flock, for though it was not technically intended for that celebration we have decided to mark the oc...
