Welcome back to Arrakis, the one planet in the Universe that supplies the spice mélange, which allows interstellar travel. It’s only other significant export is jihad, and this week the guests on the show spend some time talking about the roots of that second product. Oh, we of course talk about the movie as well, a film that seems to be living up to everyone’s very high expectations.
Three years ago, the first...
This month’s selection as MOTM came from a list of Blind Spots submitted by the host. A Martin Scorsese flop from 1983, which has grown in stature over the years, “The King of Comedy” starring Robert DeNiro. DeNiro is the frustrated, Rupert Pupkin, obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on Jerry’s show, he is only given the...
Those of you old enough to remember the year 1991, or at least, to have watched the videotapes from that year, will enjoy soaking up some nostalgia vibes this week. Everyone was asked to bring five movies to the show this episode and none of them were films Nominated for Best Picture by the Academy. In fact, you could almost consider this the anti-Oscar show of 1991. The guests this week were more interested in their own opinions than anyone...
This week on the Lambcast we are talking about a new film that opened in theaters rather than streaming. Director Matthew Vaughn has been making spy films for a while now. His film “Layer Cake” was where the EON folks found Daniel Craig to play James Bond. It seems he is pitching a new 007 in his latest film, the frequently linked to the Bond Franchise, Henry Cavill. Whether or not Cavill gets a License to Kill, he has been deeply...
Do you like movies about Gladiators?
How about movies with lengthy sex scenes? Are you into early post apocalyptic survival stories? We have some films for you. This week on the LAMBcast, we have another in our featured series “Whatcha’ Been Watchin’?” Our guests this week reveal the kinds of things they are watching when they are not really planning a review or a podcast, but just scrolling through...
Hear ye, hear ye, all rise for the Honorable Lambcast. Enter and be judged. This week, the guests of the Lambcast are the Law. We decide if the 2012 version of Judge Dread is Dreadful, thus being sent to an iso cube for eternity, or if it is “Not Guilty” and can therefore continue to make action audiences everywhere happy.
Heather Baxendale-Walsh, longtime LAMB, Podcaster, and author, brings the dystopian future’s...
Double Duty this week on the Lambcast, as two new releases get our attention, and they could not be directed at more completely different audiences. One film features music and dancing by high school kids, working out their adolescent issues, and the other is filled with violence and mayhem because old people were being taken advantage of. Tina Fey and Jason Statham might never work together in a film, but this weeks episode goes down better...
The start of the new year reminds us to finish off the previous year, and that is exactly what this episode of the Lambcast is designed to do. The Traditional Top ten Lists are the subject of this week’s show and we have a combination of guests who joined the live show, and some who sent in their lists to be added to the conversation. Frankly, it is an epic nearly three hours, so make sure you are comfortably seated to take in the show,...
We can’t really keep up with every movie that gets released, but that is especially true in December when big budget holiday releases and specialty Oscar bait, compete for our attention. This week is a free for all, because the six guests and the host, are welcome to talk about any movies that got released in the last six weeks of the year.
We are saving our Top Ten Lists for the next episode, but some of those films might...
You won’t find any bigger fans of the original “Chicken Run” than here on the Lambcast. 200 Episodes ago, it was the MOTM. Tony Cogan and Jay Cluitt both claimed to be the films biggest fan, but it was Tony who pushed the sequel here, over the finish line, to be the new film that we covered this month on the Lambcast. The community chose this over all the other options and the result is here for your...
That’s right my friends, nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a zombie apocalypse. Of course when you add singing and dancing, it really does feel like a Christmas movie, at least that’s what Howard Casner would argue. As the champion of the film, Howard leads the discussion but frankly, the other guests probably played a part in the movie being selected as well. The Vern just covered it on his own podcast and...
We thought we’d add something to the Christmas Season that is a little different this year. Of course there will be a Holiday themed MOTM, but that is next week. This week we are sharing some stories about Christmases Past, Present and Future.
Nicole Ayers, Dave Anderson, Rachel Wagner and Todd Liebenow join guest host Howard Casner in sharing stories about past Christmas Film based gifts and experiences, as...
