As I mention during the show, the next time we do a franchise look-back, we’re scaling back. From our humble beginnings with Alien and Jurassic Park, we’ve grown to cover six films with the last look-back in Rocky, and now a whopping seven films (which could have potentially been nine had I not capped us at New Nightmare) with an in-depth look at the Elm Street series. In...
Are you ready for a surprise?
There’s currently some talk going on over at the LAMB Forums (and previously on Twitter) in regards to what works or doesn’t work (or what should work or shouldn’t work) as it pertains to the voting for the Movie of the Month. As it just so happens, one of the key points being made is about the existing popularity of films, how films like The Princess Bride or...
I don’t want to alarm you or anything, but the Vegas LAMB meetup is in TWO MONTHS! Feb 23-24 (Oscars weekend). Are you going? We’d love to get as big a group going as possible. We’ll be meeting up on Saturday, drinking, eating, gambling, doing some sort of Podcast Row, and of course watching the Oscars together on Sunday night. LAMBs are confirmed to be coming...
They say the sixth time’s the charm, right? Proof that perseverance pays off, Ryan Fernand of Lord of the Films submitted Children of Men to the MOTM poll once again for December and it finally paid off. Then, after all that time, it wasn’t even close, as his choice had more than twice as many votes as the next closest film. The 2006 sci-fi drama starring Clive Owen was pretty much universally loved by critics and movie...
Well, this took forever for me to get around to posting, for no good reason. My apologies to the participants. Thankfully, this being a top 5 episode, it’s timeless (or something).
Anyway, Nick, Kristen, Todd and Dylan got together for the latest edition of this LAMBcast favorite, in which we each came to the table with our own unique top 5 list. This time, it varied from family horror-dramas to interestingly quirky...
What’s better than one feature discussion? How about five of ’em? We revisited something done a few months back (to successful results, I’d say) with “Bring A Discussion Topic,” in which each LAMBcaster comes to the table with a question or pressing matter to them. We then spend a few minutes discussing each item before moving on to the next, giving a good variety of thoughts to the show, with the added...
Last week, it was the 16th entry in the James Bond franchise, Licence to Kill, featured as the prior MOTM; this month, the 23rd (and, of course, most recent) entry, Skyfall, taking the center stage of the LAMBcast. To make things even more fitting, we even got a Brit to handle the hosting duties, as Simon Columb made his return to the show to preside over the festivities. He was joined by Bond expert Fogs, as well as...
It seemed only fitting that, after a hard-fought battle against The Princess Bride, the 16th entry in the James Bond series, Licence to Kill, won out in the last MOTM poll. It turned out to be a film of discovery for several of us on the accompanying LAMBcast – some continued to love it, some not so much, but it’s fair to say we all learned a bit more Bond history: why this film might have been received so...
Martin McDonagh kind of caught cinephiles off-guard with his first feature film, In Bruges, the Colin Farrell-Brendan Gleeson-starring crime action comedy (fun fact: nearly every film on IMDB lists those genres). It served as a career renaissance of sorts for Farrell, so their re-teaming for another crime action comedy – this time with an enhanced cast – certainly had many of us foaming at the...
