Released in 1981, An American Werewolf in London was heralded early on for its groundbreaking special effects, which remain the de facto star all these years later. A simple, stripped-down tale of men and the monsters that they become, it continued writer/director John Landis’ incredible 80s run after Animal House and The Blues Brothers and would lead directly to his working with Michael Jackson on the...

It’s almost time for the next MOTM poll, and I need Champions with which to fill it! Do you have what it takes to be a Movie of the Month Champion?
Here are the finer details:
* If your championed film wins, you get to not only appear on that month’s LAMBcast, but to ‘host’ the MOTM segment – explain why you chose the film, what...
From the onset, this seemed like a bad idea – one podcast, eight people. Our previous high for participants on a LAMBcast was six, and my general line of thinking is that any more than five leaves the potential for listener overload, particularly if the listener is not familiar with all of the voices that they’re hearing. But the thought of throwing seven fans of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World against one hater was just...
The results are in and the people have spoken! On episode #117 of The LAMBcast (you might have heard it – it’s the one with those LAMMY things on it), we held our first Actor’s Career Draft (I still can’t decide if that possessive “‘s” should be there or not), in which Courtney, Joel, Alan, Nick and I cycled through Tom Cruise’s filmography, selecting films of his to be on our...
I was going to wait a few days to post this as a means to incentivize people to listen to the show prior to seeing and voting on our picks, but with the LAMMY nominations included in episode #117, I’m not exactly sure I really need to worry about that. With over 200 downloads already, it’s safe to say that most of you have heard it…that is, unless you skipped right over the Cruise Draft and went straight to the...
Should I even bother to pretend that more than half of this show’s audience cares about anything other than the fact that it includes the LAMMY nominations? Let’s not pretend. So yes, while we’d love it if you stuck around and became a lifelong fan of the show (and of LAMB-produced podcasts, in general), I know the score. So do try to enjoy our goofy draft of Tom Cruise movies (I’ll post the poll mentioned in the...
From Steven Spielberg to Joe Johnston, from Jeff Goldblum to Vince Vaughn, from the Park itself to San Diego (thank god that music was there the whole time, right?) – it’s another franchise look-back here on the LAMBcast. Dan Heaton sat in the host chair for the first time, leading the discussion of the trilogy, and was joined by Fogs, Lindsay, Mike and Ryan.
Also on tap:
* Rants of the Week
* Raves of the...
Well, it’s about time – I finally won one of these polls! I knew you would come to see my ways eventually.
Or something like that.
Anyway, yes, again we had another pretty tight matchup for the poll, with An American Werewolf in London finally knocking off Children of Men (a solid pick that I would have voted for had I not had a horse in the race) to become the next Movie of the Month...
What’s your favorite superhero movie moment? What’s the best depiction of God onscreen? Do you know who Clifton Collins, Jr. is? Have you heard of and/or seen 8 Women?
These questions and many more were asked and answered on this episode of the LAMBcast, as Dylan, Nick, The Vern and Max got together to compile some (hopefully) interesting Top 5 lists.
Also on tap:
* Rants of the Week
* Raves...
Released in 1988, Heathers was not only a product of its time but perhaps a bit ahead of it as well. The pitch-black comedy starred Winona Ryder (soon to hit the big time with Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) and Christian Slater (also early in his career) as a pair of young lovers intent on creating some chaos at their high school. Although it wasn’t a hit at the time, it was a unique enough vision to gain a...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Once again, Kai puts on his Alex Trebek hat (that’s a beautiful visual if you know the man) to play host for our version of Jeopardy. Back in the champ chair is Dylan, being challenged by the two head honcho (honchettes?) of French Toast Sunday, Lindsay and Jess. Did they take his title? Listen and find out!
LAMBpardy episopdes are a semi-regular feature of the LAMBcast,...
