If you’ve listened to the LAMBcast for any length of time, you’ve probably thought a time or two that your humble host Dylan hasn’t seen anything! Well, I’m here to tell you that that’s kind of by design – being the guy that picks the topics, I often use the show to fill my own gaps, particularly when it comes to these franchise look-backs. What better way to force myself (so to speak) into...
To be completely honest, an episode devoted to Machete‘s sequel was probably not needed. I put it on the schedule largely due to nostalgic reasons, as we had an early LAMBcast episode devoted to the first film that was great fun for all involved, and I figured that the participants of this show would perhaps have an equally good time with Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse follow-up. Did they, and/or would you have a good...
We’ve got another strong week for you as the awards contenders continue to be rolled out through the fall/winter. This batch of new films includes a pair of action films from Paul Greengrass and Robert Rodriguez (Captain Phillips and Machete Kills respectively) along with a well-received romantic comedy...
Robert from Sketchy Details back with a new edition of Foreign Chops. The schedule just got so off (totally my fault, apologies all around) that it was just easier to wait for the start of a new month than try to cram in a second topic partway through October.
This month, we’re going to look at the cinema of South Korea. South Korean entertainment as a whole is really coming into its own on a global level. There’s even a...

Persistence indeed pays! Though, it also helps to not have as much competition. On his sixth (and reportedly final) attempt at making Ron Shelton’s 1992 hoops comedy the Movie of the Month, Joe Giuliano of Two Dude Review has made White Men Can’t Jump a winner. It was a very light turnout with just 32 votes, but White Men still won handily, easily beating Shep Joel’s choice of Body Double. ...
If the LAMBScores are any indication, this is one hell of a film year. Fruitvale Station set a high benchmark over the summer, but Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity has now taken over as our top-rated movie of the year. There’s also another release this week (Runner Runner) but it wasn’t up to par. Check out all the...
Primer was released in 2004 and it’s safe to say that it didn’t exactly set the world on fire. When the receipts had all been counted, it had made a little less than half a million. The thing is, when your film costs $7,000 and makes that much (combined with the growing success of Netflix), people start to pay attention. Word of mouth spreads, talk of brilliance and complexity abounds, and the next thing you know,...
This week’s pair of release aren’t as strong as last week’s set, but they are noteworthy in their own right. First up, we have the directorial debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt – Don Jon. Next we have the animated sequel Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Both got fairly positive scores, so be sure to check out what your fellow...
Hi everyone. Robert from Sketchy Details here with another edition of Foreign Chops. In honor of Halloween, I asked you to send me your best content on European Horror and you didn’t disappoint. We have a wide range of styles, countries, and time periods represented, which is always exciting. The most submitted films were a surprise, too: The Vanishing and Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages. They’re both great horror...
Last week I was busy at the New York Film Festival, so this post will be combined with last week’s scheduled scores. We therefore have no less than 5 new releases on the slate. These films represent almost all the genres – comedy (The Family), drama (The Spectacular Now), horror (Insidious: Chapter 2), thriller...
The insanity of the Nic Cage Draft has finally left us, so we return to our regular “draft” programming, taking a left turn away from choosing the films of a particular star and instead choosing our favorite character actors. Now, as I mention a number of times on the show, doing such a category was very tricky, what with attempting to define who belongs in that category (are they still there?, etc.). So what did we do? Made...
