    Lambcast #580 April MOTM The Thin Man Franchise

    Death and murder and violence are all over these movies, but you will hardly notice at all. There is no bloodshed, there is usually a musical interlude, and the most important element of the films is not the plot but the characters. Howard Casner championed “The Thin Man” series to victory in the latest MOTM poll and he takes over as host for our discussion of these classic films.

    Howard and Richard are...

    Lambcast #579  Oscar Preview 2021

    The movies in 2020 suffered a significant blow with the pandemic shutting down theaters around the world. Many films were held back but a number carried on with streaming access. Those conditions produced these results, films that are admired but are they worthy?

    MovieRob takes the reins as host this week. Since he has been our key man on the Oscars for several years now, it makes sense that he knows what we are...

    Lambcast #578 Godzilla vs. Kong

    This week we have an epic battle for the Super duper heavyweight championship of the world. Two Iconic film creations face off in a fight that has been set up by three preceding films, and a hundred older films, cartoons and comic books.

    In one corner, we have the old man of giant monster movies. He has been around since 1933, and he comes to us fighting out of Skull Island. Well over 800lbs, he was King long before a...

    Lambcast #577  A Conversation with Author Eric Friedmann

    Our best laid schemes often go awry, and this week, the planned project fell apart but have no fear, something good for you is still on the plate for this week. Originally this was going to be a bonus episode but it now fits nicely in the calendar and it’s great to share it with you.

    Lambcast #576  MOTM Once Upon a Time in the West

    As we roll through 2021, one thing becomes obvious, the Movie of the Month is going to be a good film. So far we have had three movies, all over 50 years old and if you check out the Lambscores, It’s unlikely you will find a higher rated trio of films.

    Speaking of trios, that’s what we have joining Richard this week for the discussion. David Brook, Todd Liebenow join the film’s champion, James...

    Lambcast #575  Tom Hanks Draft Redux

    Eight years ago, the Lambcast did a draft of Tom Hanks movies, which was probably great, but eight years is an eternity in modern social media so we are taking another swing at this.

    Let’s face it, Hanks is a prolific actor who continues to work at a top level. It makes sense that there are more than a dozen new films of his that we can include in the draft, many of which contain award worthy performances. We...

    In a world…,(how long has it been since you heard that phrase?) where your inner thoughts are available for all to see and hear, and there are no women, a young girl appears and adds to the Chaos.

    Lambcast #572  MOTM Le Samourai

    February was Richard’s Birthday Month and it has become a tradition here for the hosts of the show to select the choices up for Movie of the Month at that time. There were eight options and the Lamb community chose the one blindspot on Richard’s list. It turns out that it was also new to some of the other guests on the show as well.

    The stylish and deliberately paced Le Samourai from Jean-Pierre Melville...

    Lambcast #570 Welcome to the Flock

    Maybe this would have been better titled “Meet the Flockers”, after all, this is a show with uncomfortable moments, embarrassing self reveals, and silly comments meant to amuse.

    Richard is joined this week by three new members of the community. Come and be introduced to your fellow Lambs, Emily Slade, Mitch Chapman and Latoya Austin as we talk about our favorite movies and the reasons we blog/podcast and share....
