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 channels, cruising...

Hear ye, hear ye, all rise for the Honorable Lambcast. Enter and be judged. This week, the guests of the Lambcast are the Law.

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, or...

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 sneak onto this...

This time out, the movie more closely resembles “Mission Impossible” than “The Great Escape”, because the goal is to break in rather than out. A chicken processing plant that feels like a 007 villain’s lair is the target. The protagonist is on a mission, and a backup team arrives to extract her. So maybe this is even closer to “Toy Story 2”. Even if the film is borrowing plot points, there is still...

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 campaigned...

It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! December has long been our month to highlight holiday-themed movies, and this year is no different. Six wildly different approaches to the season were nominated, several featured monsters and apocalyptic scenarios, but only one also included copious amounts of singing, so maybe that’s why it won? Regardless, for December 2023 we’ll be discussing… Anna and the...

Technical issues have resulted in the loss of the original post that was scheduled to be published. That means you are now getting a second hand look at the podcast, written on the fly, while the author is fleeing retina scanning spiderbots that are chasing him. Bubbawheat is the champion of this 2002 collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise. He takes over hosting duties and leads us through a discussion of determinism, free will,...

This week we get back to talking about new movies, and it is the time of the year that the cream begins to rise to the top. Director Alexander Payne is a two time Academy Award winning screenwriter, and a three time directing nominee, so when he shows up with a new film, it seems likely to be talked about in the awards season. “The Holdovers” features a cranky history teacher at a remote prep school who is forced to remain on campus...
