If you’ve been been paying any attention at all to the LAMB, you’d know that we recently held the second annual (official) meetup on July 11-13 in Chicago. A great time was had by all, and the even has been documented on the site’s of many LAMBs who either made the trip or are locals to the Chicagoland area. We even did a LAMBcast that was set in the apartment of another local LAMB. Long story short: if you didn’t go,...

If it seems as though we just keep getting more and more ambitious with these lookbacks/retrospectives…well, that’s pretty much true. That said, we’re not insane. The Coen Brothers had 15 films in their filmography prior to Inside Llewyn Davis; as much as we might have liked to watch all 15, that would make for at least a four-hour podcast, to say nothing of the time involved in watching/rewatching all of them...
The sequel was years overdue, so why shouldn’t the podcast about the sequel be a few days late as well?
Justin hosts this svelte episode (co-starring Lindsay and Dan Clark) on the long-awaited comedy. Was the wait worth it? What bits hits and which bombed? Can lightning be caught in a bottle of Sex Panther once again? These questions and many more will be answered by our hard-hitting team.
After that came Rants...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Now entering the studio are today’s contestants…
First up is our NEW returning champion, Robert of To The Escape Hatch, who won impressively over our prior champ, Nick Powell. Was that a fluke or is he the real deal? We’ll find out this week, as he takes on first-time player Matt of Simplistic Reviews, as well as returning player Nick Rehak of French Toast...
Once again, the MOTM feature proves that all good things come to those who wait. Of course, your definition of “good things” may differ from someone else’s. Namely, Dan Heaton’s, whose championing of Timecop has now finally paid off with its selection as the MOTM, beating out Joel’s selection of Runaway Train. (Apparently, Joel is persona non grata when it comes to MOTM film selections,...
I don’t know if it’s a slight against the film or not, but this is the entirety of the IMDb summary of our most recent Movie of the Month, Cocktail:
“A talented New York bartender takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love.“
If you’re a normal movie blogger at all, you’re probably wondering why and how this film came to be the Movie of the Month. For the...
I was recently having a discussion with your Shep Joel about some various blogging- and LAMB-related things, and he said something interesting: “I like that there has been one of those typical 18 month shifts with a lot of new members etc.”
I’m not sure if it’s officially some kind of 18-month cycle, but the sentiment is true: the LAMBcast is going through (another) renaissance of new members. This...
No need for any fancy introduction this time out: it’s the sequel to the massive hit The Hunger Games, and it’s going to be one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. As such, the LAMBcast does its duty and covers the film with an episode devoted to it. On hand for the GAMES (not only did I go there, but I went BIG!) were your host Dylan, as well as French Toasties Lindsay and Jess, in addition to TWO newcomers...
What’s the deal with perfect ratings? How important should a potential partner’s taste in (and interest in) film be to you, the film lover and/or blogger? And seriously, what’s the deal with all the superhero fare in the 21st century? These topics and many more (ok, maybe not many more, but many more tangents, such as Jay’s usage of the term “move house”) are brought to the table in yet another...
Timing is everything! At least as it pertains to the selection of the Movie of the Month, it is. Justin of Man, I Love Films has attempted to wedge his love for Cocktail and/or Tom Cruise into several MOTM polls, and by waiting until the clamor to champion films died down, he nearly got his pick in without even needing a poll. As it was, Dan of Public Transportation Snob snuck in at the last second with an equally cheesy...
Pretty sure I haven’t seen an IMDb summary recently that makes the film it’s talking about sound much worse than this one:
“Billy and Sydney think they’re the best basketball hustlers in town, so when they join forces, nothing can stop them, except each other. To add to their problems, Billy owes money and is being chased by a pair of gangster types.“
White Men Can’t Jump,...
