I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but there are literally a crapton of possibly-excellent films (or, at the least, very anticipated) on the schedule for the rest of 2012. Fortunately for you, we here at the LAMBcast have an annual show on the schedule in which we look forward and count down just which ones make the “most anticipated” cut for us. So listen in as Nick, Sebastian, Dylan and two...
Is it just me, or is it strange how the discussions of certain book-to-film adaptations seem to center on the quality of adaptation rather than the quality of film; that the act of the adaptation is so inseparable from the film that it’s impossible to ignore? Think about The Hunger Games recently, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; although certainly not all film bloggers read these books prior to seeing the films, it does...
I don’t want to oversell his participation or downplay the involvement of others on the show, but there’s something about the rarity of a Nolahn appearance on the LAMBcast that makes it a must-listen show. That something is actually probably two big somethings, one being his Steve Honeywell-like epic rants and the second actually being the subject of this show: his ability to make hilarious, off-kilter top five...
It was high time we tried something a little new, so for episode 126, we eschewed our traditional “feature discussion” in favor of several mini-discussions, in which each participant brought a topic to the table, giving us a wide variety of conversations. On hand was your Shepherd Joel, Alan, Bubbawheat, Dylan, and joining us for the first time, Andrew Crump of A Constant Visual Feast.
(By the way, I apologize in advance...
I feel dumb typing anything here, other than the names of the show participants. For the quasquicentennial episode of the LAMBcast, we talked about the only movie anyone is talking about at the moment. You might have seen it. It being the biggest movie of the year, the show runs a bit longer than I usually like, but I figured that it wasn’t every week that the end of one of the best trilogies comes to town. On hand for the...
On the latest MOTM poll, it turned out to be just a two-horse race, but nonetheless it was still a tense race, as Battle Royale and Primer duked it out till the end, with 3 Guys 1 Movie’s choice of BR winning in the end, by the tally of 32 votes to 25. Now the titular guys just have to figure out which one will be the representative on the LAMBcast…
So, here’s what goes down from...
Sometimes we play serious games (LAMBpardy). Sometime we get serious with our Movies of the Month. Sometimes we get goofy with things like actor’s career drafts. And sometimes we just like to talk about what we’ve been watching lately. This is one of those times, as I was joined by Nick, Kai and Stevee to go over some of our recent viewings.
Also on tap:
* Rants and Raves of the Week
* Last LAMB...
Neil LaBute’s fifth feature film (following such indie hits as In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbors) came and went pretty quietly in 2003, despite featuring such current luminaries as Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz (as well as Gretchen Mol). Based on LaBute’s play of the same name, it follows the pattern he set of focusing on gender dynamics, featuring brutal, often funny dialogue and low...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Once more, Kai puts on his Alex Trebek hat to play host for our version of Jeopardy. Back in the champ chair is Dylan, this time challenged by Fogs and Joanna. Did they take his title? Listen and find out!
LAMBpardy episopdes are a semi-regular feature of the LAMBcast, so if you’d like to be a player in the future, keep an eye out over at the Forums, as demand is high and...
This post comes at least a week late, and for that, I apologize. You have just two weeks to watch the film, though if it helps at all, it is available to view on Netflix streaming.
Somehow, some way, Dan Gvozden’s MOTM pick took down some titans. If you’d asked me to predict The Shape of Things’ finishing place amongst the 10 films in the last MOTM poll, I’m not sure if I’d have guessed it...
For the 121st LAMBcast, we take a look at the 13th film from Pixar, Brave. Dylan didn’t get to see the flick in time, so Sebastian returned to the hosting chair for the second time, and was joined by The Vern, Max, Nick Rehak and first-timer Erik of The Movie Review Warehouse.
Also on tap:
* Rants and Raves of the Week
* Last LAMB Standing
A few notes:
* The show can be found, of course,...
For those who still haven’t heard enough about Prometheus, or perhaps are just dying to hear what us folks at the LAMBcast have to say, we present you with our episode dedicated to Ridley Scott’s Alien quasi-prequel. Your host Dylan is joined by Nick, Fogs, Sebastian and first-time LAMBcaster Iba of i luv cinema, making her podcast debut (and excellently so, I might add).
