The start of the new year reminds us to finish off the previous year, and that is exactly what this episode of the Lambcast is designed to do. The Traditional Top ten Lists are the subject of this week’s show and we have a combination of guests who joined the live show, and some who sent in their lists to be added to the conversation. Frankly, it is an epic nearly three hours, so make sure you are comfortably seated to take in the show, or...

We can’t really keep up with every movie that gets released, but that is especially true in December when big budget holiday releases and specialty Oscar bait, compete for our attention. This week is a free for all, because the six guests and the host, are welcome to talk about any movies that got released in the last six weeks of the year. We are saving our Top Ten Lists for the next episode, but some of those films might sneak onto this...

This time out, the movie more closely resembles “Mission Impossible” than “The Great Escape”, because the goal is to break in rather than out. A chicken processing plant that feels like a 007 villain’s lair is the target. The protagonist is on a mission, and a backup team arrives to extract her. So maybe this is even closer to “Toy Story 2”. Even if the film is borrowing plot points, there is still...

That’s right my friends, nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a zombie apocalypse. Of course when you add singing and dancing, it really does feel like a Christmas movie, at least that’s what Howard Casner would argue. As the champion of the film, Howard leads the discussion but frankly, the other guests probably played a part in the movie being selected as well. The Vern just covered it on his own podcast and campaigned...

This week we get back to talking about new movies, and it is the time of the year that the cream begins to rise to the top. Director Alexander Payne is a two time Academy Award winning screenwriter, and a three time directing nominee, so when he shows up with a new film, it seems likely to be talked about in the awards season. “The Holdovers” features a cranky history teacher at a remote prep school who is forced to remain on campus...

Another world, another time, in the age of wonder. A thousand years ago, this land was green and good… a lot of fantasy stories start along these lines. Something that was good has been lost and must be found, or something evil is threatening something good. Those somethings often come in the form of dragons, wizards or monsters (and sometimes even a goblin king). This week on the Lambcast, we decided to go to an era of classic fantasy...
