    LAMBCAST #177: GET TO KNOW YOUR LAMBCASTERS

    Sometimes we need to take a step back from reviewing films or talking about what we’ve been watching lately or playing LAMBpardy to just talk amongst ourselves.  To learn a bit more about each other, outside of our love of films.  With that said, I present to you the second edition of Get To Know Your LAMBcasters, where I was joined by Joel, Joe, Kristen and first-timer Robert Zerbe of To the Escape Hatch.  We talked about swimming...

  • Who won the Nic Cage Career Draft?

    Who won the Nic Cage Career Draft?

    Last week on the LAMBcast, we had another in our Actor Career Draft series, this time on the man/myth/legend/joke that is Nic Cage. We had a ton of fun – notably with not knowing which directions to take with a career as bonkers as Cage’s. There were twists, turns, and other special quirks to this draft, something I felt was fitting given our subject (be sure to listen to the episode – I also had a ton of fun with...

    You want to cover Breaking Bad?
    I'm fairly new to Breaking Bad but have plowed the entire series so far during my two week vacation this summer. So after discovering this awesome series I think it would cool to have the final stretch of the series covered on the LAMB....

  • LAMBCAST #176: ACTOR CAREER DRAFT – NIC CAGE (!)

    LAMBCAST #176: ACTOR CAREER DRAFT – NIC CAGE (!)

    What can you say – nay, what do you need to say about Nic Cage?  It’s a good bet that volumes of texts will be written about the man within a few decades.  College courses taught about the man.  Religions possibly formed (or destroyed?) by his aura.  He’s basically Star Wars in the form of a singluar actor. 

    As such, it was only fitting that he be the subject of one of our actor career drafts. ...

  • The MOTM for August 2013 will be…

    The MOTM for August 2013 will be…

    This had to have been one of the more diverse groupings of films we’ve had for the MOTM.  True, it’s not as though there were any foreign films or silents or docs, but we had a classic horror flick, a classic noir, a sci-fi thriller, a sports comedy, and whatever Dark City fits into. 

    However, what started as a close race pretty quickly became a blowout, as Dan Heaton’s selection of Double...

    LAMBScores: White Heat


    Due to personal time constraints, I’ve had to combine last week’s scores with this week’s edition of the LAMBScores. As a result, we’ve got lots of reviews for you to catch up on. This week’s featured films (Monsters University, The Bling Ring, World War Z, White House Down...

    MOTM/LAMBCAST #175: BULLY

    Larry Clark is perhaps best known for the 1995 film Kids, which launched the careers of quite a few people: Rosario Dawson, Chloe Sevingy, Harmony Korrine, and Clark himself.  But his 2001 film Bully – not to be confused with the 2011 documentary of the same name – is a similar piece of filmmaking, dealing with the angst and lifestyles of (mostly) teenagers, this time in Florida.  It’s also based on a...

    Announcing Foreign Chops #14: Italy

    Robert from Sketchy Details back with another new topic for Foreign Chops. This month, we’re looking at Italy. Foreign Chops already covered the Spaghetti Western, but I want to dig deeper. Italian cinema offers everything from some of the most shocking horror/thriller films (gialli) every made to award-winning international sensations.

    LAMBCAST #174: BRING A DISCUSSION TOPIC

    It’s one of my favorite episode types – and not just because it requires less work on the host’s behalf.  It’s Bring a Discussion Topic, in which each participant comes to the virtual table with something they hope will spur an engaging discussion.   Sometimes they’re duds, sometimes they’re great…and in this episode, I gotta say, they’re pretty damn good.  Oh hand for the shenanigans (have...
