Another world, another time, in the age of wonder. A thousand years ago, this land was green and good… a lot of fantasy stories start along these lines. Something that was good has been lost and must be found, or something evil is threatening something good. Those somethings often come in the form of dragons, wizards or monsters (and sometimes even a goblin king). This week on the Lambcast, we decided to go to an era of classic fantasy...
In October, everyone’s thoughts turn to mayhem as the horror movie season peaks with with Halloween on October 31. We had our MOTM a couple of weeks ago, but that did not satisfy our need for blood. Like culture vampires, the Lambcast goes in search of horror films in all the bad places.
The rules were simple, everyone had to bring five films to the discussion, one in each of five sub-genres of horror. Nicole Ayers goes...
Most people anticipate a new Martin Scorsese movie, the way an eight year old looks forward to Christmas. We can hardly stand the time it takes to arrive, we want to shake the packages under the tree, and we hope that there will be joy when the gift is opened. Sometimes parents learn that the box is the bigger attraction than what was inside. Is that what happened with “Killers of the Flower Moon? Did Santa deliver, or did we get some...
In a surprise upset, a Comedy/Horror film won the MOTM Poll. and despite calls to the Secretary of State in the Voting Districts, the count was confirmed. “Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein” joins a list of more gruesome fare as the star of our annual Episode devoted to a Halloween Horror Icon.
James Wilson of Blogging by Cinema Light, as the champion of the film. leads a discussion of this movie, delving into...
This Decade Lookback Show is actually looking back a decade. We get in our time traveling Blu-Ray player and visit the films of 2013. A day before recording, three guests had to drop out, but that did not prevent a wide assortment of films from being included. The Pineapple Kiosk rule was invoked only once in the course of the show.
Todd Liebenow felt that ten years was not long enough to forget some films, so his list consists...
November is covered with two new films to be included on the Lambcast: The Holdovers and Napoleon. For December there are many choices and the Community is going to give us their input on which two to include. We will still have the MOTM and a specialty show but when it comes to new films, your choice is going to determine the Conversation. The schedule for November and December will reach your mailbox after this vote is concluded....
This week on the LAMBcast, you can stay in your recliner or lay down on the sofa, because our movies on this show are streaming and no ticket is required.
Netflix, Prime, Paramount+, Now, Max, Criterion, Hulu, VUDU, you don’t have to look hard to find streaming services, and some of them like Tubi, don’t require a subscription, only your patience with commercials. Nicole Ayers, Tony Coogan and James Wilson join the show...
We have always had games as part of the Lambcast, even if every episode did not have a game. We fill in some of those “gameless” shows with an episode that is all games this week. All of the guests on the show this week brought a game to play, and no one knew what anyone else had in mind. Fortunately all of the games are different, they have varying degrees of difficulty, and you can play along with the guests to test your own...
Spooky goings on in a mansion in Venice bring famed detective Hercule Poirot out of a self imposed exile from criminal investigations. Is spiritualism real or a con? Has there been a murder or simply a tragedy? Is this a cozy mystery or an alcohol fueled trip into darkness? By the time we are done with this week’s show, you should have the answers to those questions.
Sitting around our séance table this week are last...
Our movie of the Month for September is a Back to School Special for all the really bright Lambs out there. If you are not so bright, you will probably enjoy it as well. The film is “Real Genius” from 1985. It’s one of three films opening within a two week span in 1985 classified as Teen Sci Fi Comedies. Those of us on the show this week, would largely agree that this one wins “Best in...
Try as he might, Richard can’t be on every show and this week Howard Casner demonstates how superflous Richard really is. Howard moves us through three rounds of Whatcha Been Watchin’ films with Nicole Ayers of The MadLab Post, David Brook from Blueprint Review, Stephen Palmer from the Asian Cinema Film Club and newcomer Daniel Chadwick-Shubat from the Get Reel Movies Blog.
Howard,as always, finds some interesting...
In this “special” episode of the LAMBcast we take note of this new milestone by getting together some of the long time hosts of the show, including the founder of the LAMB Dylan Fields.
The conversation starts out with a discussion of the origination of the Lamb and a little backstage talk about the first Lambcast. Dylan went from primitive recording to polished host. Jay Cluitt started out as a disagreeable guest...
