Last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of 1984 with out 1984 Movie Draft. 30 years ago from this year, 1985 didn’t have such a wealth of releases, but it did have The Goonies, which just so happens to be February’s Movie of the Month.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by regular Lambcast co-host and Goonies champion Robert Zerbe as well as Pat McDonnell, Will Slater and Nick Rehak, all of whom had varying...
If you’ve listened to the LAMBcast for any length of time, you’ve probably thought a time or two that your humble host Dylan hasn’t seen anything! Well, I’m here to tell you that that’s kind of by design – being the guy that picks the topics, I often use the show to fill my own gaps, particularly when it comes to these franchise look-backs. What better way to force myself (so to speak) into...
To be completely honest, an episode devoted to Machete‘s sequel was probably not needed. I put it on the schedule largely due to nostalgic reasons, as we had an early LAMBcast episode devoted to the first film that was great fun for all involved, and I figured that the participants of this show would perhaps have an equally good time with Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse follow-up. Did they, and/or would you have a good...

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...
I could easily lead off with some joke about how abstract Last Year at Marienbad is or how much I want to play Nim or what those people standing there like mannequins might have been thinking the whole time this film was made, but frankly, I think we did enough of that on the podcast (see below). Suffice to say, Marienbad is a strange, interesting, boring, mysterious, exciting, beautiful, bizarre film…often times all...
As I mention during the show, the next time we do a franchise look-back, we’re scaling back. From our humble beginnings with Alien and Jurassic Park, we’ve grown to cover six films with the last look-back in Rocky, and now a whopping seven films (which could have potentially been nine had I not capped us at New Nightmare) with an in-depth look at the Elm Street series. In...
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but we record the LAMBcast (usually) about a week before it gets posted. You ought to know where I’m going with this…that’s right – merely by listening, you are traveling back in time. Back to an era before you had even considered listening to it because you didn’t even know when it was going to be posted! Meanwhile, back when we recorded it, we had...
Can I just say that I love the eclectic group of films that have been chosen as the Movies of the Month by all the voters out there since we rejuvenated the MOTM feature in March of last year? We’ve had critically-acclaimed films like Inglourious Basterds and The Shining, we’ve had cult films like The Evil Dead and Bronson, we’ve had foreign films (Oldboy, The Third Man), a...
It’s safe to say that the latest MOTM poll turned into a blowout. Deny Everything’s choice of Show Me Love took a commanding early lead, and Flights, Tights and Movie Nights’ Robocop selection made a deent run, but Metropolis, championed by 100 Years of Movies ran away with the vote, taking 29% of the 165 votes (nice turnout!). As such, Pat of 100 Years has won a chair in the LAMBcast in which...
