Classic cinema crops up on the Lambcast this week as Meg Hyland Champions this 1948 film to it's place as our January Movie of the Month. A packed pen of Lambs discusses music, ballet, special effects, the Muppets, Raging Bull and related items in this week's episode.

Five Lambs bleat about the year that was in films during a pandemic. We manage to find a lot of things to recommend. The list is long but the conversation is interesting. Join us as we say good-bye (or is it good riddance?) to 2020.

Nicholas Cage 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. Rob was joined by Darren of Movie Reviews 101 to discuss all things Nicholas Cage, but mainly the five performances of his that they like the most. If you have any reviews, podcasts or features written or published about Nicholas Cage or any film or TV show he has appeared in, send them to Rob at actingschool101@movierob.net by 15th January.

Five intrepid heroes discuss the long postponed DCEU entry. 1984 may have been one of the best movie years ever, but does Wonder Woman 84 deserve to be on the list of those treasured films from that year? Join Howard Casner as he hosts this Comic Book closeout to the 2020 film year disaster.

Todd Liebenow takes over the flock this week as they cruise through the past to discover some Christmas Themed movies from Childhood.

December brings Christmas themed films to the Lambcast Movie of the Month each year. 2020 finishes the way it started with an Aardman Animation film, Arthur Christmas. So don't be the only kid in the whole world who thinks Santa does not care about them. Listen and you will agree, there's always time for a bow.

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.

Jake Gyllenhaal 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 Manzo of French Toast Sunday to discuss all things Jake Gyllenhaal, but mainly the five performances of his that they like the most. If you have any reviews, podcasts or features written or published about Jake Gyllenhaal or any film or TV show he has appeared in, send them to Rob at actingschool101@movierob.net by 15th December.

Holiday movie season tries to return during Covid and the spearhead is a sequel to 2013's "The Croods". Four Lambs ventured into movie theaters on your behalf to tell you if the movie or the theater are safe for you.

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.
