If You Want The Gravy

The Lambcast this year is trying to limit the number of podcasts featuring a new film to no more than two a month. That will sometimes mean that a film that excites the community may not appear on the schedule. That could be easily adjusted if anyone wants to contact the show and tell us what it is you really want to talk about. It also means that sometimes you will have to hear what the host wants to talk about, and that seemed to be the...

It’s time to vote for April’s Movie of the Month! As has become tradition, for April we like to celebrate movie franchises, and just like last year we’ve expanded the definition to include the remake-a-palooza style of a film and its remakes. Whichever franchise wins the poll will get a Lambcast episode dedicated to it. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are...

“Psychos, and Dinos and Bears oh My”, Ok, that’s not the way Dorothy and her friends chanted on the road to Oz, but it is the way you will be chanting as we skip through this week’s Lambcast. That’s because we got chased into a subway car by dinosaurs, where we we then ripped apart by Pablo Eskobear. This week is a genre mashup of movies that seem to show that the box office can still thrive, as long as you find...

A bunch of films won some awards yesterday, but there’s still one movie left to be crowned, and it’s only fitting that the day after the Oscars we celebrate another Best Picture winner for March’s Movie of the Month! That’s given the game away a little, as only one of this month’s nominees won Best Picture (although I believe there is still some deliberation as to...

It’s another special program on the Lambcast, where the guests determine the content and no one knows what we might be talking about. As it turns out, there were bingeable streaming series and pre-code favorites, floating around this week’s show. A month old horror film and a forty year old horror film also pop up in the discussions. 

In the first round we get a VOD from this year and a gangster film that is over 90...

The special programs on the Lambcast continue to draw the greatest interest from the community. We have a full slate of podcasters this week, who rolled up their sleeves to roll up a top five list for you. As usual, we had no idea what was coming, because no one was required to clear their choices beforehand. The result is another eclectic set of lists that were fascinating to talk about and should encourage you to shop, think and...

“I really enjoy the MCU films, except for the ones I hate”.

So which way are we going to go in evaluating “Quantumania”?, you will have to listen to find out, but there are a few hints in the topics we cover on this week’s show.

From the beginning, our panel confounds expectations. Former Lambcast Host Jay Cluitt was sure that he was going to be engaging in an argument with regular guest...

It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! LAMB members have submitted films, you get to vote on them and the winner will be discussed on an upcoming Lambcast show. The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the nominees:

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) [MovieRob, MovieRob Minute]

Diva (1981)...

This week we celebrate February by selecting a film from the list of 1975 movies submitted by the host. “The Man Who Would be King” had been suggested a number of times but it has finally ascended to the throne for this week’s Lambcast.

For those of you who are not familiar, the film is based on a Rudyard Kipling story, and in this telling, Kipling himself is a character, played by a hard to recognize...

Valentine’s Day is coming and love is in the air, so are opinions about the genre of the Romantic Comedy. The flock gathers this week to do a little bit of analysis on why the Rom-Com is loathed by some, but also why they work when they do. The Love/Hate dynamic of the genre gets quite a bit of discussion before we get to any recommendations.

The cast of todays show looks for rom coms in all sorts of places. The Vern for...

Happy Birthday to Lambcast host Richard Kirkham! As has become tradition, for February’s Movie of the Month we give Richard the gift of choosing all the films submitted for the poll, and he’ll get the opportunity to talk about an older film he actually wants to discuss! This year he championed eight films all released in 1975, some of which were either too obscure or just not...
