The LAMBcast

Right now we should all be talking about Wonder Woman 84, but alas we are not. Instead, this week on the Lambcast we're talking about some of the films leading up to the latest instalment of the DC Franchise, specifically the Justice League-centric entries!

Richard was joined by Amanda, Doug, Bubbawheat and James to fight their way through five films, numerous CGI shots and an unknown number of moustaches to determine whether these films have been rightly derided against their MCU counterparts, or is there some value to be had? Listen to find out!

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 Fogs is pretty famous around the LAMB, but this was his first time on the show since the release of Skyfall. Whatever degree of guest they are, everyone had lots to say about all the Bond movies, and these four in particular, so let's get listening!

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 Thunderball. Jay and Richard were joined by Will, James and Amanda to discuss the heroes, the villains, the kills, the exotic creatures and the rampant sexism peppered throughout the films.

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.

Jay Cluitt was joined by Heather Baxendale, Richard Kirkham, Jeanette Ward and Matthew Stewart to trial out this new-fangled Director Draft format, and frankly we all reckon it turned out pretty darn good. So take off your hat, sit back in your customised Bridge of Spies chair, grab a handful of Reese's Pieces and enjoy a show that is most certainly better than a kick in the dick.

[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 occasion with what is easily the most ambitious, and ultimately most time-consuming to edit Lambcast show in the history of the LAMB, it's our 400th Show Spectacular!

We couldn't decide on just one topic for this show, so we opted to commemorate the occasion by discussing pretty much everything in our worlds of film. So this show isn't just a Movie of the Month, it's not simply a Draft, it's not limited to just being a game of Lambpardy, no it's everything, all packed into one show. And because it's the 400th episode, each segment is tackled for exactly 400 seconds, or 6 minutes 40 seconds. If you think that doesn't sound like enough time to talk about a movie, well after recording the show I'm more than inclined to agree. We were joined by a cornucopia of Lambcast regulars - and a few unfamiliar voices too - all of whose credits can be found down the bottom. For now though, clear your schedule, you've got some listening to do.
