Last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of 1984 with out 1984 Movie Draft. 30 years ago from this year, 1985 didn’t have such a wealth of releases, but it did have The Goonies, which just so happens to be February’s Movie of the Month.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by regular Lambcast co-host and Goonies champion Robert Zerbe as well as Pat McDonnell, Will Slater and Nick Rehak, all of whom had varying histories with the film, and varying opinions to go with it. Also on tap are Rants and Raves of the Week and a couple of rounds of Last Lamb Standing.
It’s also time to vote on next month’s movie! 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, 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/2015-01-15T14_54_08-08_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!

Opening song by Cake. The LAMBcast loves feedback, too – if you’d like yours read on a future show, leave it in the comments section at the LAMB. Please visit and like our Facebook page, and finally, we’re on iTunes, and would still love a review, even if it’s a bad one. Thanks for listening!
