    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....

    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.

    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.
