The awards season is almost over, so that can mean only one thing - it's time for the Lambcast's Oscar predictions show!

Jay was unable to host, Richard didn't really want to and Kevin Hart turned down the offer, so MovieRob stepped in to host his first ever Lambcast proper, after helming the Acting School shows for almost two years. He was joined by Richard, Vern, Courtney and Howard to make their predictions for whatever categories they felt like talking about, and other things besides.

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.

It's movie of the month time! To celebrate Richard's birthday we let him pick the roster of films, the LAMB community voted and Tombstone won!

Richard and his huckleberry Jay were joined by Tombstone fans Nick Rehak and Damien Riley, as well as first time viewer and self described disliker of westerns, Zoe Rose Smith. Was she converted? Was everyone recording as sick as Val Kilmer? Were all their moustaches real? Listen to find out!

Laura Dern is our actor of the month in our Acting School 101 feature, being hosted by me, MovieRob. Alongside the monthly blogathon held 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 once again by Richard from Kirkham A Movie A Day to discuss all thing Dern, 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.

Sports drafts gave the inital idea for the Lambcast draft shows, and now we're holding a Lambcast draft of sports movies. Full circle, baby!

Jay refereed the draft, with Richard, Todd, Mark, Sean and Matt all competing to build the best team of sports movies. What is a sports movie? Can white men jump? Does she likes swimming? All of this and more will be answered (or at least asked) on the show! Plus there's some discussion on this year's Oscar nominees, and a game we really should have played last week.

Glass? Who gives a shit about glass? Turns out, we do, as it's the topic of this week's Lambcast!

Jay and Richard were joined by DJ, James and Bubbawheat to peer through Glass and its myriad of fractures and stains, along with the potential half-full beauty within. They also had a spirited round of Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week, followed by a game of Last Lamb Standing.

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.
