The LAMBcast

Richard Attenborough is our actor of the month in the LAMB's Acting School 101 feature. Alongside the monthly blogathon held on the LAMB site, there will also be a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here! Rob was joined by Tony from Coogs Review to discuss all things Richard Attenborough, but mainly the five performances of his that they like the most. If you have any reviews, podcasts or features written or published about Richard attenborough or any film or TV show he has appeared in, send them to Rob at [email protected] by 15th August.

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 filmography, before the usual rants and raves and a fun, entirely sensible game.

There's still no new films at the cinemas to watch, but that's OK, we've got lots of other things to discuss instead. Five, to be exact!

Jay is often useless on these shows and this would've been no exception, so Richard took the helm and was joined by Howard, Robert, Todd and Cameron to discuss scores, spoilers, cinemas, time loops and the state of independent American films, along with many other things besides.

It's movie of the month time, and this month we're discussing the original 1962 version of The Manchurian Candidate!

Jay and Richard were joined by Nick, Damien and Sean to talk about judo fights, nonsense train conversations and the sweatiest top lips we've ever seen. Also, Jay tells 328 million people to sort themselves out.

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 retrospective!

In Jay's absence Rob, Joel and Heather all signed up to be Richard's wing-men and wing-woman to discuss a meticulously curated half of Tony Scott's career, and with a sadly unavailable Aaron sending in messages from back at base.

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 quickly again determine the best Pixar movie. It was not an easy decision, and most of the contributors were probably more than a little disappointed at various points in the show, but that just means the answer is correct. For today. Do you agree with our decision? Get in touch if you do or don't, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

The cinemas may be open in some places around the world and imminently open elsewhere, but here on the Lambcast we're still talking about other films. Which ones? Why, the ones we've been

watching lately!

Jay and Richard were joined by Amanda, Howard and Tony to discuss a few under-seen gems before tackling an unintentionally hot-button issue, followed by some rants and raves and then a game in
