We hope it doesn’t make you feel too old, but our Decade Lookback series is traveling to 2010, and most of you will remember that you were not that old and it wasn’t that long ago. Sorry, it’s been 14 years, you figure out what percentage of your life that is.
Howard Casner and Tony Coogan show up for the discussion. We had an overbook episode at one point but it diminished for all kind of reasons. Between the...
Sorry about two polls running simultaneously, just a regular hazard of movie fandom here on the LAMB.
The November MOTM is to be determined by you with this poll. This Poll will close on November 5. The show records on November 10. A short turn around but with the films we have to choose from, completely doable.
Roger Wistar, wishes you would choose “Sneakers” from...
The show was a blast to do with everyone finding a mix of classics and personal favorites. The exercise will not be complete however without some input from the Lamb Community. It’s time to Vote for your favorite slate of films. Fans of James Whale and Jack Arnold will find plenty to tempt them, but Hitchcock is also in contention.

Halloween season brings out the ghoul in most of us. We look for a scare or two, something that excites us or thrills us, but often we don’t look part the end of our own nose. Well that’s not happening this year. The LAMB is committed to films from all eras and even though we don’t yet have a “Silent Film of the Month”, that doesn’t mean there should not be one. For now, you are going to have to make due...
A close vote determined the MOTM this October, but the last minute submission by Matthew Simpson of the “Awesome Friday Podcast” won out. Matthew selected Sam Rami’s 2009, PG-13 horror film, “Drag Me to Hell” and it goes to show that a PG-13 rating does not have to indicate a bad horror movie. On the contrary, this film manages to scare the audience and make us laugh at the same time.

It’s not every week that a new film from one of the great directors of our times drops, but that is exactly what we have on this week’s episode. Director Francis Ford Coppola has delivered a dream project that he has envisioned for four decades at least. As usual, he has taken on great financial risk to achieve his artistic vison, and that dominates the talk about the film elsewhere. Here we talk about the artistic merit of the...
There is a short window for the MOTM poll this October, in part because we are doing a Horror draft the next week and we want to get those episodes in before the actual day of Halloween. As usual, the October MOTM is Horror related and we have quite a slate of films for you to choose from.
Matthew Simpson from the “Awesome Friday Podcast” has submitted the Sam Rami curse film from 2009, “Drag Me to...
A limited selection of MOTM suggestions resulted in an executive decision to go with three time runner up, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” as the September MOTM. No one was happier than the film’s frequent champion, James Wilson of “Blogging by Cinema Light”. James was chomping at the bit to discuss this classic film from 1939.
The year 1939 in film is widely considered the greatest year in film history....
September is often a dumping ground for films that the studios have no faith in, but that is not the case this week. It seems like Warner Brothers has deftly maneuvered a film they have great expectations for, into a spot with little competition and an audience anxious for a legacy sequel. The cash is rolling in and now so are the opinions.
Our gaggle of guests this week include Emily Slade from the “Why This...
This week is a DIY project for the LAMBS. They are to assemble a top five list of any subject that they choose. So a Top Five List of anything movie related that they want to talk about: Stars, Films in a Genre, Taglines, Quotes, Posters, Songs, Scenes, it’s all up to the guests. What will they come up with?
Well, Thomas Stoneham-Judge of ForReel is about to cover the Toronto International Film Festival, so he figures out a way...
We have a winner in the poll for the best Slate of films from 1984, created on Lambcast Episode 742.
Congratulations to Aaron Neuwirth, from “Out Now with Aaron and Abe” and “The Code is Zeek”, who scratched out a victory in a tight race between 4 of the 6 competitors. One of the Lambs barely got out of the starting gate, and one never did. The other four were neck and neck for most of the polling period,...
Paul Newman and Steve McQueen head an all star cast in the granddaddy of all disaster films, “The Towering Inferno”. If this looks familiar to you, then you are a longtime LAMB, because we did cover it as a MOTM back in 2016. That episode is currently lost, so this is a chance to restore the film to it’s rightful place on the LAMB wall of fame.
The world’s tallest building is being dedicated with a party on...
