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!

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!

It's been a while since we've done a draft show, but it's been even longer since the 1960s!

Richard and Jay were joined by Nick, Todd and Audrey to compete to build the best team of movies released in the 1960s. Sci-fi, westerns, horror, musicals, pretty much every genre was tackled in a very fun show!

Also on tap: Rants, Raves and Reviews of the Week, plus the most depressing game we've ever played, yay!

What's that? You thought we were done with all the Harry Potter talk? Think again!

Listen to find out as Jay and Richard are joined by Amanda, James and Rebecca to lumos some light on the revelations within.

Part two of our Harry Potter franchise lookback is here, as we make our murky way through the darker half of the series, from Order of the Phoenix to the Deathly Hallows parts one and two!

This time around, Jay is reunited with Richard, and joined by Harry Potter superfans Amanda and Nikhat to despair over Dobby, go la-la over Luna and vehemently vilify Voldemort. Oh, and the best way to enjoy this show is to take a drink every time someone says "in the book".

We've got a treat for you this week! A bumper double-bill of podcasts looking at the entire Harry Potter saga, a franchise so full of fantastical fancies that it just had to be split across two shows, and they're not exactly short ones either!

Jay was joined by Jeanette, Bubbawheat, newcomer James and returning Harry Potter trivia champion (no pressure) Rebecca to quarrel about Quidditch, lavish over Lockhart and go doolally for dragons. In amongst the every flavour beans of the show you'll also find some Rants, Raves and Reviews of the week, and a continuation of the Potter love with a return of the Harry Potter trivia game.

And that's not all for this week! No, you can expecto to see another podcastum on the second half of the franchise apparating into your feed in a few days time!

Tension! Heated debates! Outright arguments! Yes, they're all in the film, but they're also all in this week's podcast!

Jay and Richard were joined by Simon, Will and Chris to discuss November's Movie of the Month, The Hunt For Red October, which was a frequently-viewed classic for most, but a first-time watch for our usual host. Simon commandeered the helm for his first MOTM victory and leading the discussion underwater, above the sea and through the Jack Ryan franchise.
