    LAMBcast #155: Whatcha Been Watching Lately?

    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...

  • MOTM/LAMBcast #153: Last Year at Marienbad

    MOTM/LAMBcast #153: <i>Last Year at Marienbad</i>

    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...

    LAMBcast #152: Ask the LAMB (audio version)

    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,...

    LAMBcast #151: Top 5 Most Anticipated for 2013

    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...

    LAMBcast #150: Best of 2012

    Strap yourselves in.

    Lindsay, Jessica, Nick, Justin, and Dylan gathered round the campfire to rattle off their Top 5 films of 2012, and it’s an epic.  As if that weren’t enough, we even threw in some special awards for key films/scenes/actors/etc.  It’s a fun show that covers a surprisingly wide array of films…made even wider with Nick’s compulsion to name every honorable mention in his list of 400 films...

    Actor’s Career Draft Poll Results: Tom Hanks

    The results are in and the people have spoken! On episode #148 of The LAMBcast , we held our third Actor’s Career Draft, in which Nolahn, Nick, Jay, Todd, and Dylan cycled through Tom Hanks’ filmography, selecting films of his to be on our “teams” for our own mythical film festivals.  To make it a bit more challenging, as part of his hosting, Nolahn decided that – from our six-round draft – we’d have...

    MOTM/LAMBcast #149: Night of the Comet

    The Princess BrideWatchmenDawn of the Dead?  Big films, you might say?  Night of the Comet can’t hear you.  Kristen chose this barely-seen apocalyptic zombie sci-fi-comedy and it tore up the competition.  The question is, is it underseen/underloved or justly forgotten?

    Before we get to the links, here’s the IMDb summary for the film, for those that aren’t familiar with...

    LAMBcast #148: Actor Career Draft – Tom Hanks

    Multiple Oscar winner.  Box office champion.  Bosum Buddy.  And now…LAMBcast Career Draft subject.  You’re welcome, Tom Hanks!

    One thing I can say for sure is that, despite starring in fewer films overall (and I’m probably stating the obvious here), Hanks’ career – or at least 30 films’ worth of it – is vastly better than that of our last draft subject, Bruce Willis.  In that draft, I...

Film.  Jay takes pictures of squirrels in his spare time and once...

    LAMBcast #146: Franchise Look-back: A Nightmare on Elm Street

    As I mention during the show, the next time we do a franchise look-back, we’re scaling back.  From our humble beginnings with Alien and Jurassic Park, we’ve grown to cover six films with the last look-back in Rocky, and now a whopping seven films (which could have potentially been nine had I not capped us at New Nightmare) with an in-depth look at the Elm Street series.  In...

    MOTM/LAMBcast #145: Children of Men

    They say the sixth time’s the charm, right?  Proof that perseverance pays off, Ryan Fernand of Lord of the Films submitted Children of Men to the MOTM poll once again for December and it finally paid off.  Then, after all that time, it wasn’t even close, as his choice had more than twice as many votes as the next closest film.  The 2006 sci-fi drama starring Clive Owen was pretty much universally loved by critics and movie...
