    Lambcast #744   The Towering Inferno-August MOTM

    Paul Newman and Steve McQueen head an all star cast in the granddaddy of all disaster films, “The Towering Inferno”. If this looks familiar to you, then you are a longtime LAMB, because we did cover it as a MOTM back in 2016. That episode is currently lost, so this is a chance to restore the film to it’s rightful place on the LAMB wall of fame.

    The August MOTM is…

    There was a short voting window, but we did get a pretty good turnout. Once again, the outcome was close, with the top two vote getters being separated by a miniscule number of ballots cast. Congratulations go to Dave Anderson of “Free Kittens Movie Guide”, for championing the 1974 disaster film “The Towering Inferno” to the winners circle. 

    Dave will get to host the upcoming discussion of the film on...

    Vote for the August MOTM

    A late start on this poll but the MOTM show is the last Sunday of the month, so we should have time to get plenty of voting in.

    Jeanette Ward had a vision several months ago and she is now suggesting the 1986 Thriller “FX” starring Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy.

    Lambcast #732   “Late Night with the Devil”  May’s MOTM

    Even if you don’t believe the Box Office report from opening weekend, that the movie made $666,666, you have to admit that’s a clever bit of business. The whole movie is loaded with those kinds of self referential moments, and the guests this week are anxious to join in dissecting them.

    Sitting down in the guest chairs for this week’s episode are Lisa Leaheey, Nick Rehak and Jason Soto, all from the...

    The Movie of the Month for May is…

    There were only three films submitted for the May MOTM, but all of them received some support. One of them however, was the clear favorite of the LAMB community and received well over half the votes cast. This month we get a MOTM winner that may actually still be playing in some theaters, 

    “Late Night With the Devil”

    Congratulations to Jason Soto of “Rabbit Hole Podcasts”, for...

    Vote for the May MOTM

    We need a quick turnaround on the MOTM Poll. Fortunately, there are only three submissions so your vote is unlikely to be diluted by the short voting window.

    Howard Casner of “Pop Art” has submitted The American Astronaut a Musical/Comedy/Sci Fi from 2001.

    Jason Soto, from “Rabbit Hole Podcasts” suggests Late Night with the Devil, a very fresh horror film from...

    LAMBcast #729  “Aperl” MOTM Franchise-Planet of the Apes

    Nine Movies seemed a little overwhelming for a single episode, so Matthew Simpson, of the “Awesome Friday Podcast” suggested that the three reboot films be the subject of our April MOTM Franchise show. The choice came after a tight race between three franchises, separated by a single vote each. Matthew hosts Nicole Ayers from MadLabPost and runner up Sean Homrig, from the Cabot Cove ConFab, in a discussion of the three modern...

Those of you longtime listeners of the Lambcast know that The Vern enjoys a divisive movie conversation, and that’s exactly what we got with this week’s show. Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast, and James Wilson from Blogging by Cinema Light, joined us for an examination of...

    The Movie of the Month for March 2024 is…

    There were four films submitted for MOTM for March, and everyone got some votes. A couple of the films had been talked about on the show, but that was not enough to put them over the top. It takes a dedicated LAMB, willing to use Social Media, to get the kind of support that turned the vote from a close contest to a run-away victory.

    Congratulations to The Vern of Cinema Recall, his strategy led to a result that will allow him to...
