This week we celebrate February by selecting a film from the list of 1975 movies submitted by the host. “The Man Who Would be King” had been suggested a number of times but it has finally ascended to the throne for this week’s Lambcast.
For those of you who are not familiar, the film is based on a Rudyard Kipling story, and in this telling, Kipling himself is a character, played by a hard to recognize...
Valentine’s Day is coming and love is in the air, so are opinions about the genre of the Romantic Comedy. The flock gathers this week to do a little bit of analysis on why the Rom-Com is loathed by some, but also why they work when they do. The Love/Hate dynamic of the genre gets quite a bit of discussion before we get to any recommendations.
The cast of todays show looks for rom coms in all sorts of places. The Vern for...
There were a lot of terrific films released in 2002, also some 2001 films spill over in Great Britain so we throw in a couple of those as well. This week, the flock goes back in time twenty years to dig up some films you may love, some you may have forgotten and some you probably never heard about. These lookback episodes have been popular enough that we expand the guest list and end up with a slightly longer show than is typical, you will be...
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...
