2018 is OVER! Long live 2019!

For the annual look ahead to the next 12 months of movies, Jay was joined by Jeanette, DJ, Doug, newcomer Katy Rochelle from Oh So Geeky and eventually Tim to unveil the cinematic delights upon the popcorn-smeared horizon.

Thank you to Rob, Audrey, Aaron, Tony, Courtney, Richard and Nick for submitting messages for their most anticipated movies of 2019.

Pedro Almodóvar has made some incredible films, but this is the first time we're exploring his work on the Lambcast. January's Movie of the Month is Talk To Her, a gripping and powerful story of two hospitalised women and the men who care for them.

Jay and Richard were joined by the film's champion, Rebecca Sharp, as well as Jessica Manzo and a Lambcast newcomer, Marya Gates. Also on tap: Rants, Raves & Reviews of the Week and a game of Mystery Alaska.

2018 is over, but can a year really be said to have ended until the Lambcast posts its best of that year podcast? Whether you say yes or no, the point is here's that show.

Jay and Richard were joined by Audrey, Courtney and Nick to not only rank their top films of the year but also discuss the cinema vs streaming debate and give some tips and tricks on how best to fall asleep in the cinema. Also thanks to Le Anne, Vern, David, Tony, Aaron, Amanda, Rebecca and Jessica for contributing their voicemail recordings.

As you should already know by now, Rosamund Pike  is our actor of the month in the newly-revived Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held here on the LAMB site, I will also be hosting a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show here!

I was joined by Simon  from the Moustache Movie News to discuss all thing Pike, but mainly the five performances of hers that we like the most. The shows will be released every month within the Lambcast feed, so no extra subscribing is necessary! Just sit back and listen to the show.

If you have any reviews, podcasts or features written or published about Rosamund Pike or any film or TV show she has appeared in, send them to me at actingschool101@movierob.net by 15th January.

Happy New Year from the LAMB! To celebrate the occasion, here's a shiny new bonus episode of the Lambcast, and what will hopefully be the start of an annual tradition. Mercilessly (and with consent) ripped off from the Title Pending Movie Podcast we're proud to present the 2019 Box Office Draft, in which a bunch of Lambcast regulars from around the world (four continents, five countries, maybe seven time zones) gathered together to predict the highest grossing films of 2019.

The player with the eventually highest score will win bragging rights for 12 months, until the next tournament comes along. We're including all international earnings, and films released in 2018 could be picked, but only their 2019 takings will be counted. There were six films picked each, but only the top five from each player will be included in the final total, in case something gets cancelled, pushed back etc.

So without further ado, let's get to the show! The competitors are your regular hosts, Jay and Richard, alongside Nick, Troy, Jeanette. DJ, Getter, Darren, Doug, Tony, Cameron and Rob. The final teams will be posted in a poll in the next few days so you can vote on who you think will win, but for now listen to the fun time we all had!

Wait, don't dive for the remote! It's time for the Lambcast's ranking of the best TV shows of 2018!

Jay was joined by Getter, Vern, DJ and Jeanette to rank their best TV shows of the year, sing TV theme tunes and have a fun time reminiscing the past twelve months on the small screen. Also thanks to Tony and Nick for contributing their voicemail recordings.

You may have noticed on the LAMB site recently we've been trying to determine what is definitively the best Christmas movie, and the topic seems to have spilled over onto the Lambcast as well.

Jay and Richard were joined by Howard, Simon and Todd to tackle the daunting task of taking the list of all the Christmas movies ever made and narrowing it down to just one winner. Who won? Who got banished to the North Pole? You'll have to listen to find out!

It's Lambpardy time again!

Jay hosts as returning (and most winningest) champion Chris "Tank" Tanski takes on a couple of Lambpardy newcomers Doug and Troy, who were either very tired or very hungover. Did this impede their playing abilities? Listen to find out!

Also on tap: a round of Mystery Alaska and some Rants, Raves and Reviews where the Lambcast finally settles this Oscar hosting kerfuffle.

It's that time of year again, holiday season! Which holiday? If you're talking about Meet Me in St. Louis, all of them I guess, but specifically Christmas.

The classic Judy Garland musical has joined the ranks of Die Hard 1 & 2, Batman Returns and Gremlins amidst our file of festive films, and this show is dedicated to it. First time Movie of the Month champion Amanda Kirkham hosted the discussion alongside Jay, Richard and Rebecca, to talk about ketchup-making, trolley-riding and flour-throwing, amongst others.

Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week, and a far less depressing game than last week!
