Long before Peter Jackson became known for becoming J.R.R. Tolkien or remaking King Kong, he was that big, hairy fella from New Zealand known for grossout horror comedies. His third feature was 1992’s Dead Alive , a film that wasn’t received all that well two decades ago but is now seen as a cult classic. The gang from French Toast Sunday championed the film after barely losing out to American...
I believe the proper nomenclature is as follows:
*ahem*
If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.
That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.
And...
Hey LAMBs. It’s been a while. You look good. Have you lost weight?
Me? Not much. Just have this new episode of The Film Pasture podcast. What’s it about? I’m glad you asked! In this episode, I speak with Jay from Life vs. Film and Steve from 1001 Plus about their experiences with the 1001 Films to See Before You Die list. We talk through what’s good, what’s bad and what’s missing from the popular...
I don’t want to give anything away just yet, but can we talk for a minute about FAMILY? The LAMBcast FAMILY wishes to invite you to listen to episode 169, in which we discuss Justin Lin’s fourth entry in the Fast & Furious series, and we welcome you to invite you aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, Diesels and Ludacrisses (Ludacri?). In other words, we’re having a FAMILY reunion to...
Who is Cumberbatch playing? Will there be more cameos from the original series’ cast members? What’s up with Alice Eve? To Spock or not to Spock? And seriously, does J.J. Abrams have it out for San Francisco? These questions and many more were tackled on episode 168, in which Dylan, Justin, Jessica, Jay and Sebastian discussed the sequel to the 2009 megahit in detail.
Also on tap:

Feels like forever since we’ve had one of these, no?
A serial killer horror-comedy period piece…in the wrong hands, American Psycho might have been a nightmare all its own. But director Mary Harron (I Shot Andy Warhol), who also adapted the screenplay of Bret Easton Ellis’ novel, delivered a pop culture postcard complete with one of the all-time great breakout roles in Christian Bale’s...
This flick made a gazillion dollars in its opening weekend and is on track to probably become the number one box office hit of the year – do I really need to introduce it much? You’ve seen it already, and if you haven’t yet, there’s a good chance you won’t until it hits video.
But what you haven’t seen or heard is Jay from Life vs. Film (fresh with a new, streamlined URL!) hosting his first...
As I mention during the show (and for anyone that was paying attention over at the Forums), this episode was initially intended to be split in two. After all, we cover an insane nine (!) films in it. However, life found a way to get in the way and we were forced to do it all in one monstrous ep. So you ought to know that you’re in for a long ride, though considering the number of films discussed, I think we were pretty...
This episode is being posted later than was planned, so let’s get right to it:
Originally, we’d planned to split our Franchise Look-back on the Disney Renaissance films (nine of them!) into two episodes. Unfortunately, scheduling issues forced us to combine them both into one monstrous episode (coming next week). As such, we had a free week and a spontaneous topic arise within the last couple days prior to the recording...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Now entering the studio are today’s contestants…
First up is the reigning new champion, Nick Powell. The master of trivia took down the prior five-time champ (um, me) last time, and is now challenged by his podcast co-host The Vern, as well as his longtime trivia nemesis Kristen. Can he make it a repeat, or will his stay at the top be short-lived?
LAMBpardy...

On today’s episode of The Film Pasture, we learn about that perennial action movie – the exploding helicopter – from the resident expert in the field, Will at the Exploding Helicopter blog. Then we launch into a discussion with Justin from Man, I Love Films about the virtues and vices of sequels, focusing on Pixar’s announcement that Finding Dory is coming in 2015. We also take a few moments to remember the...
