Continuing the Lambcast’s month of horror sees us looking at a director noted for some pivotal moments within the genre, John Carpenter. He formed and popularised the slasher movie template with Halloween, made everyone fear their fellow man with The Thing and turned a man into a giant pile of beetles in Prince of Darkness.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Daniel Lackey, David Brook, Darren Lucas and semi-newcomer Will...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
Sometimes it takes perseverance to make a film Movie of the Month. This past month we had six films up for the voting, three of which had been put forward multiple times before, and for one of those lucky three it’s now time to discuss it. Jason has put The Babadook forward several times this year so far, Joel has put Body Double forward more times...
Holed up in a basement in the ghetto, five people sit huddled together recording a podcast. Fortunately their tongues have not been removed so it’s not some indecipherable groans and murmurs, and instead they can discuss Wes Craven’s slightly lesser known film, The People Under the Stairs.

A few weeks ago – or, if you’re a time traveller, at some point in history in either the past, present or future – we held/will hold/are currently holding a sci-fi movie draft. I was joined by Nick, Bubbawheat, Will and Todd to each compete and attempt to assemble the best team of science fiction movies. You can listen to the hugely entertaining and debate-filled show here. The teams we selected were put to the vote by the...
Cor blimey guv’nor, the Lambs only went and bleedin’ well met up in Lahndahn, dinnae? Can’t believe me mince pies ‘n’ King Lears.
Ahem. The third annual LAMB meet-up has occurred! Hurrah! This time it was held in England, providing a much more international flavour than the previous two American-centric affairs. Much delicious food was eaten, alcohol was drunk and movies were both watched and...
It’s time for another round of Lambpardy!
Returning champion Todd Liebenow takes on Lambpardy newcomers Aaron Neuwirth and Darren Lucas. With just one more win needed to match Dylan’s winning streak record, has Todd got what it takes to defeat these new challengers? Listen to find out!
Oh, and we had a bit of an issue with the recording of the show in that Todd’s input didn’t record for some...
Over on the Lambcast we recently held a draft show, upon which Jay, Will, Nick, Bubbawheat and Todd all competed to assemble the best team of sci-fi movies, and now it’s time to vote on who you think won the draft. You should listen to the show now, because it’s amazing, but also vote for your favourite team!…

It’s time for an all-out intergalactic battle across all the dimensions in the multi-verse, as we gear up for a Sci-Fi Movie Draft!
Jay is joined by Will, Bubbawheat, Nick and Todd to fight it out and pick the best team of science fiction movies for your voting pleasure. And when I say fight, this time I really mean it, as things get tenser than Jabba the Hutt’s thong over just what exactly counts as science fiction. The...
It’s time for another edition of Roll Your Own Top 5!
Will Slater guest-hosted and did a stellar job with only the occasional cock-up. If you aren’t listening to his podcast, Exploding Helicopter, yet, you really should be. He was joined by Nick Rehak, Mette Kowalski, JD Duran and newcomer Darren Lucas to each give their own personal Top 5 list, on subjects as diverse as friendly ghosts, accented female characters,...
After so many months of films Jay has been at best lukewarm on, it took a film set in his neck of the woods to garner some excitement from him. This month, the Movie of the Month winner is Edgar Wright’s The World’s End.

With so many films being released every week, it’s understandable that we can’t devote an entire show to them all, so every so often we need to take a step back and discuss some of those lesser-reported movies, and this is one such week.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Daniel Lackey, Will Slater, Nick Rehak and newcomer Nicole Ayers to talk about some movies from earlier in the year in the genres of science fiction, comedy...
John Hughes has shaped a lot of childhoods. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, chances are you’ve seen his movies, and hopefully you at least liked a few of them, but maybe you’re curious about the rest of his work. Did you miss Sixteen Candles on initial release? Has Weird Science alluded you for years? Do you need proof that She’s Having A Baby and Curly Sue actually exist? Well then...
