    The Movie of the Month for June 2023 is…

    It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! For June we hold a poll comprised of films from female directors, something we’ve done for a few years now, and for many of those years one film has been submitted repeatedly. As has been proven time and again, if you keep submitting a film, no matter how many juggernauts you submit it against, it will eventually win, and...

    Lambcast #686  “Fantasia”  MOTM

    We lost our guest host at the last minute, but there were still four enthusiastic LAMBs ready to devour “Fantasia” and tell you what they thought of all of it and it’s individual parts. Bubbawheat remembered he was on this week’s show rather than last week’s. Howard Casner pitch hits for the Lambcast once again, and we kept Doug Jamison up till the wee hours of the morning so he could share his...

    The Movie of the Month for May 2023 is…

    It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! Four films were submitted by LAMB members, votes were cast and a winner is to be crowned in easily the most lavish and monumental coronation ceremony occurring any time soon. It’s rare that really old films win the MOTM poll, and rarer still for the winner to be animated, but this month’s winner fits both of those...

    Lambcast # 683  Invasion of the Body Snatchers Franchise MOTM

    The Movie of the Month Lambcast lost a few guests along the way, but that did not deter Howard Casner, the champion of this month’s winner, who has for a second time been victorious in the April Franchise version of this feature. 

    Richard and Howard find lots to talk about concerning Pod People on this Podcast. There are four versions of the story that are based directly on the 1954 novel by Jack Finney. The 1956...

    The Movie of the Month for April 2023 is…

    It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! For April we celebrate a franchise, but in recent years we’ve expanded that word’s definition to include loose series based on production studios or an original film and its various remakes. For this April we had five varied options. Four of them were tradition franchises, but the winner is a remake-a-palooza, for the...

    Lambcast #680  The Bridge on the River Kwai  MOTM

    So before the month runs out, we probably should get to the Movie of the Month for March. MovieRob championed “The Bridge on the River Kwai” and hosts the show with a description of the plot and four other guests wallow in their admiration for his choice. There won’t be any surprise opinions about the worthiness of the film, but there is a detailed discussion of it’s qualities.

    In World War Two, is it a...

    The Movie of the Month for March 2023 is…

    A bunch of films won some awards yesterday, but there’s still one movie left to be crowned, and it’s only fitting that the day after the Oscars we celebrate another Best Picture winner for March’s Movie of the Month! That’s given the game away a little, as only one of this month’s nominees won Best Picture (although I believe there is still some deliberation as to...

    Lambcast #674  “The Man Who Would be King”  MOTM

    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...
