Close to two months since the start of the submission stage, the time to reveal the Sixth Annual LAMMY nominess is now! 1500+ blogs have been narrowed to 18 categories, and this is the moment when you get to learn which sites/podcasts/vlogs/people were selected by your peers to be amongst the nominees.
Voting on the nominees...
It was a battle for the ages, and it led to a film containing a fair few battles eing the winner. Yes, The Princess Bride took down Primer, this renewing the debate over what should and shouldn’t be a Movie of the Month yet again. Should it shine a light on lesser-known/lesser-seen gems that slipped through the cracks or should it feature timeless classics? If you ask me, the answer leans towards the former but...

What’s better than one feature discussion? How about four of ‘em?
It’s only took about three years, but I think it’s safe to say that we’ve got a nice stable of rotating general show outlines (Whatcha Been Watching Lately?, Roll Your Own Top 5, Franchise Look-Backs, etc), and Bring Your Own Discussion Topic is just one of...

Done? Ok, now, the show…
Coffee. Frances McDormand. Porn. Inventions. And corny time travel. Let it never be said that these types of episodes are run-of-the-mill. We travel all over the board and back again, exploring the various ways films can be compared to a myriad number of cheeses as well along the way.
Anyway,...
I don’t want to say that MOTM poll winner Justin (of Man, I Love Films) did anything improper to not only win the poll but destroy the competition (especially since he’s a friend of mine and writes for my site), but let’s just say that the reaction to his choice of film and the amount of reactions from LAMB members didn’t exactly substantiate the pick. And yet, it’s not as though we on the LAMBcast came up...
It was just a happy coincidence and/or poor (great?) planning that this show came not only just a week after the Vegas meetup episode, but also happened to feature three people (myself, Jason, and Lindsay) that were there for the meetup. So the three of us got to know each other a bit more, but to make it more interesting, we were also joined by Nick P. and Jay. This was an unorthodox show compared to our usual fare, where we’re...
To say that this is a special episode of the LAMBcast would be one of the larger understatements that I could make in this space. It’s also one of the more unconventional shows we’ve had.
I really can’t recall at the moment whose idea it was to have a LAMB meetup in Las Vegas, but I do know that once the idea was in my head (well over a year ago), I ran with it and ran hard. Very quickly, the notion to hold it...
It’s been a busy time around the LAMBcast parts as of late. Academy Award predictions, the recent Nightmare on Elm Street franchise look-back, the upcoming Las Vegas episode. As such, it was nice to kick and just talk about some recent viewings, theatrical or otherwise. On hand for the discussion was Joel, Kristen, Dan, Jay, and Dylan.
Also on tap:
* Rants and Raves of the Week (featuring an epic – in...
A tradition like no other…it’s Academy Award predictions on the LAMBcast. The cast is Dylan, Nick, Shane, Nick P. and Vern. We discuss a number of categories, with the main focus on:
Picture, Director, all Acting and Writing awards, Documentary Feature, Animated Feature and Foreign Language Film
Also on tap:
* Rants and Raves of the Week
* Name That Film Times Five
A few notes:
* The...
I could easily lead off with some joke about how abstract Last Year at Marienbad is or how much I want to play Nim or what those people standing there like mannequins might have been thinking the whole time this film was made, but frankly, I think we did enough of that on the podcast (see below). Suffice to say, Marienbad is a strange, interesting, boring, mysterious, exciting, beautiful, bizarre film…often times all...
I believe the proper nomenclature is as follows:
*ahem*
If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.
That’s basically the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto alternately begging for fun/interesting questions from LAMB members and (eventually) just trolling Yahoo Answers for the truly insane questions. It’s been a personal favorite feature of mine on the site,...
Another year, another 2,000 sequels, reboots and remakes await moviegoers worldwide. From Man of Steel to the delayed Great Gatsby to the delayed G.I. Joe sequel and everything in between.
Nick hosts this ep, and was joined by Joel, Jess, Kristen and first-timer Shane as they rattled off their respective most anticipated films for the coming year. Think you can guess which films each participant is most...
