    LAMBcast #105: Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately?

    Nick oversees one of our favorite shows to do, and as it turns out, just about everyone was on the same page (wait’ll you get to the Rants section). Also on hand were Steve, Dan Heaton, Stevee (making a return to the show after some time off) and first-time LAMBcaster Jessica of The Velvet Cafe, making this the most international show we’ve had to date, with LAMBs from three continents present and accounted for. I look forward to...

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    The Fogs’ Movie Reviews takeover of the LAMB is nearing completion. First, Dan went and flexed his muscle to get The Shining to be last month’s selection. But that wasn’t enough….no, not by a long stretch. When I announced the new Champions wrinkle, he was all over it, and quickly took to the streets, haggling everyone and anyone he could to vote for his selection.

    Or maybe folks just liked his choice...

    LAMBcast #104: 2012 Academy Award Predictions

    Once again, we here at the LAMBcast pull out our crystal balls and attempt to predict the winners for the upcoming Oscars. Or at least some of them. Rather than cycle through all 24 categories, we cherry-picked 10 of the big ones to prognosticate, while sprinkling in our commentary on snubs (like, say…Drive?) and thoughts on the production and nomination process along the way. On hand was your host Dylan, as well as LAMBcast regulars...

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #103: The Shining

    I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a movie fan, much less a movie blogger, not at least somewhat familiar with The Shining, but I give the IMDb summary every other time, so why not now?

    “A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future. “

    Let’s see...

    LAMBcast #102: LAMBpardy (#4)

    The LAMBcast’s version of America’s Favorite Game Show (or is that Wheel of Fortune? The Price is Right?) is back!

    If you don’t know how this works by now, I’m not sure what I can do to help you there. To recap: I return as the reigning champion, Kai returns as our own Wink Martindale (seriously, he wouldn’t stop winking at me, as we were recording together from my garage), and Joel and Danny came in to...

    Introducing…MOTM Champions

    We’ve been doing the rejuvenated Movie of the Month (in conjunction with LAMBcasts devoted to said MOTMs) for close to a year now, and it’s time to throw in a new wrinkle. Along the way, we’ve had several people campaign heavily for one film or another, sometimes gaining support and getting that film voted as the winner (like, say, Joel with The Long Kiss Goodnight) and sometimes not quite having enough pull to get a win...

    LAMBcast #101: Top 10s for 2011

    Fans of Rants and Raves of the Week, I assure you they are not going anywhere. However, with our special interview show coming at #100 and with this, our Top 10s show at #101, let’s just say that they’ve taken a short hiatus. That was planned from the start, as this was expected to be a longish show, and it was. Dylan, Nick, Fredo, Dan Heaton and LAMBcast newbie Lindsay Street of French Toast Sunday were all on hand to count down...

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    The poll results are in – thank you to the 86 voters who took part. The next MOTM will be The Shining, which led pretty much the whole time thanks to a strong push from Fogs’ Movie Reviews and finished with a hefty 26.7% of the votes. Here’s what goes down from here:

    * The first thing you need to know is that February 11th is the big day. You have about 2 weeks to watch the flick (this posting is a few days...

    LAMBcast #100


    The century mark has been reached!

    For this special episode, we abandon our usual format altogether! We make stunning changes to the structure of the show! We challenge the laws of time and space! Or…I gather as many of the founding fathers of the show as possible and we have an informal interview show, catching up on our lives, blogs, and podcasts (or lack thereof). I was joined by: Nick Jobe of Random Ramblings of a...

    Movie of the Month/LAMBcast #99: The Evil Dead

    The setup here is extremely simple, so let’s get it out of the way quickly – the IMDb summary, for those unfamiliar:

    “Five friends go up to a cabin in the woods, where they find unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. They find a tome called the Necronomicon and the taped translation of the text. Once the tape is played, the evil is released. One by one, the teens are possessed. With only one remaining, it is up to...
