This Decade Lookback Show is actually looking back a decade. We get in our time traveling Blu-Ray player and visit the films of 2013. A day before recording, three guests had to drop out, but that did not prevent a wide assortment of films from being included. The Pineapple Kiosk rule was invoked only once in the course of the show. Todd Liebenow felt that ten years was not long enough to forget some films, so his list consists of movies he just...

James Wilson of Blogging by Cinema Light could not contain himself, he found four films to bring to the show. Okay, they are all short films and they all come from Wes Anderson but still, four. Anderson has made films from four short stories by Roald Dahl and the format for the films sound really intriguing. The cast lists are nothing to sneeze at either. Nicole Ayers of The MadLab Post found a Steven Soderbergh film that cross pollinates Alfred...

We have always had games as part of the Lambcast, even if every episode did not have a game. We fill in some of those “gameless” shows with an episode that is all games this week. All of the guests on the show this week brought a game to play, and no one knew what anyone else had in mind. Fortunately all of the games are different, they have varying degrees of difficulty, and you can play along with the guests to test your own...

Spooky goings on in a mansion in Venice bring famed detective Hercule Poirot out of a self imposed exile from criminal investigations. Is spiritualism real or a con? Has there been a murder or simply a tragedy? Is this a cozy mystery or an alcohol fueled trip into darkness? By the time we are done with this week’s show, you should have the answers to those questions. Admiration for Tina Fey as a character in the film is tempered by some...

In this “special” episode of the LAMBcast we take note of this new milestone by getting together some of the long time hosts of the show, including the founder of the LAMB Dylan Fields. The conversation starts out with a discussion of the origination of the Lamb and a little backstage talk about the first Lambcast. Dylan went from primitive recording to polished host. Jay Cluitt started out as a disagreeable guest and morphed into a...

This week on the Lambcast, we step into the Wayback Machine and take a trip to the Me Decade. Disco was still king, Sequels were becoming more and more typical, and nostalgia for the Beatles was the driving force of a couple of movies on our lists. We expanded the guest list this week to include some people who have first hand memories of 1978, and we got at least 26 different films to share with each other and with you. Todd Liebenow of...

Heather Baxendale-Walsh championed this personal favorite to the winner’s circle and she enthusiastically sums up the story and draws attention to the aspects of the film that are so special. Tony Coogan and Howard Casner certainly agree on some elements of the film, including the iconic shot of thousands of arrows flying toward the camera. The film follows a Rashomon style of story telling with a different version of events advancing the...

No one expected Meg 2: The Trench, to be the second coming of “Jaws”, but neither did they expect it to be the second coming of “Sharknado”. Is that how it turned out? Our guests this week are not very forgiving of the movie’s shortcomings and the chum is in the water for the LambSharks to go crazy over. This hybrid film feature Jonas Taylor gong the 007 route and becoming an eco-warrior. It’s not too long...

Forget your F.O.M.O. when choosing a film or two for your summer evening, the Lambcast has you covered this week. Four Lambs have programed a double feature for you, and they all had slightly different approaches for doing so. Before we give you our suggestions however, we have a fun discussion of our own histories with double features and with Drive-Ins. Roger has a Tom Clancy theme for his suggestions, or maybe he just has a man crush on...

The Lamb Community chose this as the new feature that they wanted covered for July. They appear to have chosen wisely because this was the biggest opening of the year, and a marketing success across the board. This week the Lamb contributes to the marketing behemoth that “Barbie” has become by discussing the films merits, faults, politics, music and dance numbers. So does “Barbie” deserve to be convicted of crimes against...
