Jesus loves winners, and that means he must be a fan of Drop Dead Gorgeous, the wearer of July's Movie of the Month tiara and sash, so let's talk about it!

Jay and Richard were joined by the film's champion, Doug, as well as Sean and newcomer Jon to discuss why Drop Dead Gorgeous was a critical and commercial failure, why it absolutely should not have been, plus lots of comparisons to the far inferior Heathers. Then we have a remarkably upbeat round of Rants, Raves and Reviews, before playing a game so depressing you'd think Richard devised it.

Richard and Jay were joined by Tank, Todd, Mark and Marc for some very unorthodox picks, but also a big celebration of films reaching their 30th birthday. You can vote on the teams below, but listen to the show first, it's very entertaining!

The toys are back in town, and here on the Lambcast we're making use of the rare opportunity of a Pixar film being simultaneously released in the UK and USA (and Australia) by covering it on the show! So pick your moving buddy, grab your accessories and steer clear of the poisoned water hole, we're going on a road trip!

Jay and Richard are joined by Doug and newcomer Thomas to discuss everything in the new film and much more besides! Plus a Rants, Raves and Reviews session where everyone agreed on the same rant (for a change), and a game all about movie characters no-one can remember.

For our first dedicated female-directed special Movie of the Month we're looking at a film that doesn't shy away from tackling some big issues head on. The Breadwinner may not be the most well known film, but it's still worthy of seeking out.

Jay and Richard were joined by the film's champion, Tony, as well as Jess to discuss the animation, lack of bread-making and many depressing story aspects of the film.
