Greetings LAMBs, you have been recruited by the LAMBcast to listen to this week’s episode, after you do, the Kodan Armada will be but a trifle for you to dispense with, it’s Movie of the Month time. The July MOTM was championed by Matthew Simpson of the Awesome Friday Podcast, and he hosts a crew of fellow recruits as we discuss the 1984 charmer “The Last Starfighter”.
We share our histories with the...
It’s 1969, the World is awaiting the first human landing on the moon, and apparently NASA needs some sponsorships. In the years before corporations paid to have their names on the football field/stadium/arena/parking space, they sold products associated with the event they wanted to associate with. Apparently Scarlett Johannsson is responsible for TANG! being the official breakfast drink of the astronauts and Omega being the watches...
We had six films submitted for MOTM for July, all of them received votes but five of them were separated by only a single vote as the final week of polling was coming to a close. With a dash to the finish line, Matthew Simpson of “Awesome Friday Podcast won the honor of hosting the show with his film, “The Last Starfighter” from 1984.
Matt and his awesome guests will be recoding this show next and the podcast will...
The Lambcast tries to catch up with a bucketload of movies that have opened in the last couple months by having our guests bring three new films to the discussion this week. Jeffrey Lyles of “Lyles Movie Files” returns to the show with some Glen Powell appreciation. Tony Coogan of “Coogs Reviews” has a documentary and a new animated classic to talk about. The Vern from “Cinema Recall” compares notes with...
Actor/Director Kevin Costner returns to the big screen with an ambitious series of films, tracking the expansion of the United States into the Western part of the continent. Told from the perspective of several different characters, the story is a fictionalized version of history, presented in the manner of a novel. Some of the critical responses target the structure of the film, but our panel finds it evocative and creatively...
This week you get two love stories in one movie. Tom Hardy has a thing for Austin Butler and so does Jodie Comer. Do our guests on the show also love these characters? You will have to listen to find out. Howard Casner and James Wilson join the Lambcast for a deep dive into a subculture that is a mystery to some of us.
Speaking of mysteries, we delve into the origins of the accent that Jodie Comer uses in her role as the...
The sigh of relief can be heard all over the entertainment industry this week. For a month, the studios have been dropping their tentpole movies of the season, and none of them have performed to expectations. It has been almost a year since a film opened to more than $100 million at the box office in it’s opening weekend. Studios and film fans were beginning to fret that the era of theatrical blockbusters was over. When your film...
This week the “Wayback Machine” transports the show back 26years to 1998. Titanic Still lingered at the box office but it was last year’s movie. In front of us was the Blockbuster Showdown of the Summer, and the most controversial Best Picture Showdown in ages. Most of that we ignore, because the guests on these week’s show have their own agenda’s.
Although they couldn’t make the show,...
Director George Miller is 79, which means this week’s film comes from someone who is actually older than anyone on the show. “Furiosa” is both a prequel and a spin-off from the Mad Max franchise. It is directly connected to “Fury Road” from 2015, as you will be able to see from the characters who return from that film. It also introduces us to the character originally played by Charlize Theron in that 2015 film,...
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...
This week, the Lambcast takes to the seas in search of treasures that may be lost or at least unknown to our community. We hoist the skull and crossbones in the hopes that we locate movies that deserve some attention but have been hidden for a variety of reasons.
Second Mate Nicole Ayers is ready to keel haul the makers of Mizuko for choosing a distribution system that basically buried the movie under in impenetrable Vimeo...
The Summer Season starts with a Romantic Comedy, masquerading as an action adventure mystery. There is a lot of action, not much mystery but at the heart of it all is a sweet love story set in the world of movie making. “The Fall Guy” may be a meta movie about movies, a summer popcorn flick, or a two hour argument for the Motion Picture Academy to finally give recognition to the stunt work in the films. Regardless of which...
