“If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.”
That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.
And so, Jason brings to you the third edition of this...
If you’ve listened to the LAMBcast for any length of time, you’ve probably thought a time or two that your humble host Dylan hasn’t seen anything! Well, I’m here to tell you that that’s kind of by design – being the guy that picks the topics, I often use the show to fill my own gaps, particularly when it comes to these franchise look-backs. What better way to force myself (so to speak) into...
To be completely honest, an episode devoted to Machete‘s sequel was probably not needed. I put it on the schedule largely due to nostalgic reasons, as we had an early LAMBcast episode devoted to the first film that was great fun for all involved, and I figured that the participants of this show would perhaps have an equally good time with Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse follow-up. Did they, and/or would you have a good...
It’s easy to get into routines and take things for granted, and over the course of over four years now of running the LAMBcast, I’m certainly guilty of that. Here’s the short version: the LAMBcast wants you to appear on upcoming episodes!
Here’s the long version. My routine is as such: every 8-10 weeks, I unveil (so to speak) what the topics for the next batch of episodes are going to be. ...
Persistence indeed pays! Though, it also helps to not have as much competition. On his sixth (and reportedly final) attempt at making Ron Shelton’s 1992 hoops comedy the Movie of the Month, Joe Giuliano of Two Dude Review has made White Men Can’t Jump a winner. It was a very light turnout with just 32 votes, but White Men still won handily, easily beating Shep Joel’s choice of Body Double. ...
Primer was released in 2004 and it’s safe to say that it didn’t exactly set the world on fire. When the receipts had all been counted, it had made a little less than half a million. The thing is, when your film costs $7,000 and makes that much (combined with the growing success of Netflix), people start to pay attention. Word of mouth spreads, talk of brilliance and complexity abounds, and the next thing you know,...
Recently on the LAMBcast, we had a very intricate, duly-researched, overly complex fantasy draft involving character actors (North American only). You’ve had some time to listen to and digest the amazing choices that Jay, Dan, Nick P. and myself made, and now it’s time to separate the Buscemis from the Turturros (well, except that neither was deemed draftable on the show – have a listen to find out why). Anyway,...
The insanity of the Nic Cage Draft has finally left us, so we return to our regular “draft” programming, taking a left turn away from choosing the films of a particular star and instead choosing our favorite character actors. Now, as I mention a number of times on the show, doing such a category was very tricky, what with attempting to define who belongs in that category (are they still there?, etc.). So what did we do? Made...
Fall officially kicked off on September 22nd, and while the prestige film fare might not arrive simultaneously, we all know that the awards season (and the year’s second blockbuster season) come fairly quickly afterwards. As such, film buffs salivate over all of the potentially great films set to arrive from October through New Year’s. Here at the LAMBcast, it’s become an annual tradition to look forward and...
Dylan, Justin, Jason, Mette, and Bubbawheat gathered ’round the virtual campfire to do that ages-old tradition: talking about films that we’ve watched recently and have things to say about. For some of us, it’s rewatching an old favorite, for others it’s talking up an underseen film in theaters now, for others it’s finally catching up with an old classic. And then there’s Jason, who saw the film...
After last month’s destruction by, appropriately, Demolition Man, we were due for a change of pace, and boy did we get one. We had quite the downturn in participation; after 137 votes last month, there were just 51 this month, but the upside of that is that we had an intense race. It was so close, in fact, that the top three films were separated by a total of two votes, with Upstream Color winning with 14 votes,...
Is it a silly action flick with a quasi-serious message or a serious action flick made silly by two decades of aged cheese? Is it really from 1993 or is it the last 80s film? Is it live or is it Memorex? These questions and many, many more surround the 1993 Stallone and Snipes showdown Demolition Man, a film that deals with the pain of being aware of the passage of 40 years whilst being able to experience nothing but that...
