Fans of character actors will want to listen in to this week’s show for a couple of reasons. First of all, we give massive props to actor Vincent D’Onofrio for his work as a character actor in a whole variety of films. We then follow up with an exit question that is ripe with potential follow up shows.
Round 1Lisa Leaheey and Heather Baxendale-Walsh show up as the most enthusiastic fans of Vincent D’Onofrio,...
Whenever MOTM rolls around, you are sure to get something interesting, that doesn’t always mean good but in this month’s show it does mean great. “Blood Simple” is the debut film of Joel and Ethan Coen as well as Frances McDormand, their leading lady. Set in Central Texas, it is a neo noir with a high suspense quotient and several memorable scenes.
Texas resident Sean Homrig was the champion of the film...
It’s time again for a feature which became popular during our pandemic period, “Off the Beaten Path”. Our Lambcasters this week will attempt to direct the flock to movies that you may not be familiar with. We tried to avoid films already talked about on the site, and these are largely not covered by the guests either. We are taking you places that we think you may not have been before.
Nicole Ayers, Todd Liebenow,...
It’s the end of one year and the start of a new one, just exactly the invitation we need for a Top Ten show. What did you think were the best films of 2022? You should feel free to share your lists in the comment section, but not before you listen to this epic Lambcast episode. Epic in the sense that it is almost as long as “Avatar:The Way of Water” and “Babylon” and definitely longer than “The...
The Lambcast finishes off 2022 with a film that was released a month ago. The reason we are late to this Murder Mystery Party is that the theatrical release was only a week long and we waited until it was streaming to make sure everyone could see it. It’s hard to imagine a podcast with spoilers getting much traction when the movie would not be available to most listeners for a month. It’s here now however, so let’s dive...
Over a dozen years after the first visit to Pandora, James Cameron returns to the alien world of his imagination with a continuation of the story that made “Avatar” the biggest box office hit in history. “The Way of Water” follows up on the characters from the first story, adds a lot more and expands the visual world building of Cameron in some marvelous ways.
Heather Baxendale Walsh joins the show this...
This week on the Lambcast, we take on another film featuring movies as the subject matter, at least that’s what we were promised. “Empire of Light” is the new film from director Sam Mendes who has a pretty good track record including two James Bond movies and the technically brilliant “1917”. It may be that hubris has set in, because our guests this week seem to be on a mission to skewer the film....
If you want to get out your calendars now and create a timeline of this story, MovieRob will give you his best guess about the dates of all the events in the film. It’s Movie of the Month time and Rob championed “It’s a Wonderful Life” to the poll position. We take a chronological journey through the beloved Frank Capra classic, and we still manage to miss the error in Harry Baily’s death age in the alternate...
A movie that takes a nostalgic look at one of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time, is examined by some LAMBs who are not particularly nostalgic but who definitely love movies. Steven Spielberg takes on his own life story and the Lambcast takes on his film in this week’s episode.
Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy Fabelman, our Spielberg Character.Howard Casner leads the three guests through an elaborate discussion of the new...
We had to move your reservations to the second week, but we can seat your entire party now. The highly anticipated Menu includes seven courses: Introductions, Discussion, Spoilers, Lambscores, Rants/Raves/Reviews, The Game and Plugs. This week, Howard Casner is the Maître d’ and he will lead you through a delightful meal featuring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult.
If you are a foodie, a server, a consumer...
Welcome back to the MCU, this is their third film of 2022 and it is likely to be the most successful. Should it be? In addition to the usual discussion, we have a dissenting opinion from a LAMB who had big reservations about the original “Black Panther” movie and chose not to support this one as a result. We happily provide a platform for Nicole Ayers and as you listen, you may see that the issues she presents are largely...
Did you remember that there was a sequel to the 1993 Academy Award Nominated Best Picture “The Fugitive”? A lot of people do not recall that but Jeanette Ward was not one of those, she is laser focused on Wesley Snipes and he stars as the new fugitive in this 1998 film.
Tommy Lee Jones reprises his Academy Award winning role as Deputy Marshal Sam Gerard and he is as badass as you remember. He brings back his posse...
