Sorry about two polls running simultaneously, just a regular hazard of movie fandom here on the LAMB.
The November MOTM is to be determined by you with this poll. This Poll will close on November 5. The show records on November 10. A short turn around but with the films we have to choose from, completely doable.
Roger Wistar, wishes you would choose “Sneakers” from...
The show was a blast to do with everyone finding a mix of classics and personal favorites. The exercise will not be complete however without some input from the Lamb Community. It’s time to Vote for your favorite slate of films. Fans of James Whale and Jack Arnold will find plenty to tempt them, but Hitchcock is also in contention.
Aaron Neuwirth’s List
Howard Casner’s...
We have a winner in the poll for the best Slate of films from 1984, created on Lambcast Episode 742.
Congratulations to Aaron Neuwirth, from “Out Now with Aaron and Abe” and “The Code is Zeek”, who scratched out a victory in a tight race between 4 of the 6 competitors. One of the Lambs barely got out of the starting gate, and one never did. The other four were neck and neck for most of the polling period,...
It’s time again to choose a MOTM. After having no submissions for June, we had a plethora of offerings for July. There are two science fiction films, two Hollywood classics, a well regarded 70s horror film and an 80s teen comedy. Nice variety provided by all of the folks offering up something. In addition to voting, you can submit films for the August poll. (send those to Richard [email protected])
The Last Starfighter-Matt...
This week, the Lambcast takes to the seas in search of treasures that may be lost or at least unknown to our community. We hoist the skull and crossbones in the hopes that we locate movies that deserve some attention but have been hidden for a variety of reasons.
Second Mate Nicole Ayers is ready to keel haul the makers of Mizuko for choosing a distribution system that basically buried the movie under in impenetrable Vimeo...
After a spirited competition, that came down to a single vote separating the top three contenders, we have a winner. The April MOTM Franchise will be the Matt Reeves Planet of the Apes trilogy. This is just in time for the fourth film opening in May.
Congratulations to Matthew Simpson who will get to host the episode when it arrives at the end of the month. Our Condolences to the other fine choices, in particular Lisa Leaheey, ...
Everyone knows that spoilers are irritating to film fans who have not yet seen the movie. Here on the LAMBcast however, most of us have seen these movies so we are not afraid to talk about them, in particular the key elements that might spoil the movie for you. This week’s episode is the antithesis of what we usually try to do here. We are not coy about giving away the ending of a movie, a plot twist or two, or revealing the presence of...
The month of April is when we celebrate a franchise in the Movie of the Month Episodes. While there are some movies that deserved a franchise and never got a sequel (The Nice Guys, Dredd and The Shadow could still happen if we wish hard enough), there are plenty of film series where we might wonder, “How did this happen?”
We have four film franchises that await your decision, which one will live on as a MOTM Lamb Legend?...
This month’s selection as MOTM came from a list of Blind Spots submitted by the host. A Martin Scorsese flop from 1983, which has grown in stature over the years, “The King of Comedy” starring Robert DeNiro. DeNiro is the frustrated, Rupert Pupkin, obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on Jerry’s show, he is only given the...
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...
November is covered with two new films to be included on the Lambcast: The Holdovers and Napoleon. For December there are many choices and the Community is going to give us their input on which two to include. We will still have the MOTM and a specialty show but when it comes to new films, your choice is going to determine the Conversation. The schedule for November and December will reach your mailbox after this vote is concluded....
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...
