FLASH! Aaaa-aaaaah!
Get ready for a lot of that on this show. Also, myriad Brian Blessed impressions and a riotous good time as the gang discuss the ridiculously sublime Flash Gordon. You see, a few weeks ago we held an International Character Actor draft. A lot of movies got brought up, but one more than the rest, Flash Gordon. Blessed, Dalton and Von Sydow were all discussed at length on that show, which I’m pretty sure inspired DJ Valentine to put it forward as a potential Movie of the Month champion. It just about scraped through, allowing DJ to do a stellar job hosting the main discussion of the show. He was joined by regular host Robert Zerbe, as well as Bubbawheat, JD Duran and Will Slater to sing along to Queen. Everybody: “GORDON’s ALIVE!”
Here’s what some other LAMBs had to say about the film:
Flights, Tights and Movie Nights
FilmWhys
The Geek Twins
Bananas About Movies
It’s also time to vote on next month’s movie, which this time around is a Horror Special! I put out the call for MOTM Champions, and the responders are below. The gist is this: I ask for volunteers – people to select a film to be placed on the poll (up to 5 per month, as usual), then promote it on their site, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. Should their film win, they are guaranteed a spot on the LAMBcast episode where we will discuss said film. As a bonus (?), if they want they also get to host that segment of the show. The sites are listed along with the films in the poll below (and in the sidebar). You have one week to vote (and promote your movies!). I’ll be putting out the call for the next MOTM in a few weeks, so stay tuned.
The show can be found, of course, via iTunes – just do a search for “LAMBcast.” Also, I always post a link to the show on the LAMBcast’s Facebook page, and there’s a player there if you’d like to listen online. The direct RSS feed is: http://lambcast.podomatic.com/entry/2014-09-14T06_59_57-07_00. Shows will eventually make their way to the LAMBcast Archives. If you’d ever like to catch up on back episodes, go there. If you’re interested, you too can be a LAMBcaster – we love new blood!
