FLASH! Aaaa-aaaaah!
Get ready for a lot of that on this show. Also, myriad Brian Blessed impressions and a riotous good time as the gang discuss the ridiculously sublime Flash Gordon. You see, a few weeks ago we held an International Character Actor draft. A lot of movies got brought up, but one more than the rest, Flash Gordon. Blessed, Dalton and Von Sydow were all discussed at length on that show, which I’m pretty sure...
We here at the Lambcast are always open to show suggestions from our participants and listeners, so when Todd from Forgotten Films suggested a draft dedicated to the movies of 1984, we jumped at the chance. In case you weren’t aware, Todd has been hosting a blog-a-thon over on his site, for which many other blogs and podcasts have been reviewing or focusing on the movies made 30 years ago.
Host Jay Cluitt joined Todd, as...
Martin Scorsese has a lot of classic movies under his belt, but you could argue that Taxi Driver was his first. IMDb describes it as “A mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge for violent action, attempting to save a preadolescent prostitute in the process,” but is there more to it than...
The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
…
...You can tell when the big summer blockbuster season begins each year, because we here at the Lambcast start pulling out the shows on new releases, another of which will be along next week too. For now though, you’ve just got a discussion about a film starring a 350 foot tall monster to tide you over.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by Robert Zerbe, Will Slater (whose Godzilla review can be read here) and Nick Rehak (whose...
We have quite a large pool of contributors here on the Lambcast, so it’s understandable if maybe you don’t get to know the ins and outs of their personalities as well as you might like. Therefore it’s time to dig a little deeper into the lives and tastes of some of our regulars.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by Jess Manzo, Will Slater, Daniel Lackey and JD Duran to talk about themselves for an inordinate amount...
Director Retrospectives are generally few and far between on the Lambcast – it’s difficult to find a director with a manageable body of work that’s relatively easy to get hold of – so when Darren Aronofsky scheduled a new film – Noah – to come out, we jumped at the chance to devote a podcast to the man.
Host Jay Cluitt was joined by Lindsay Street, Will Slater, The Vern and newcomer Cristina...
It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to talk about a critically acclaimed film as the movie of the month, what with recent months delivering the likes of Timecop, Cocktail and Demolition Man, so it was something of a relief that, thanks to Will from Exploding Helicopter, we got to discuss Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 classic western The Wild Bunch.
It was only fitting that the most American of movie genres had...
The past few months have seen some less than stellar movies being crowned Movie of the Month. Now, granted, the likes of Demolition Man, Cocktail, White Men Can’t Jump and Timecop all inspired entertaining discussion, but you won’t find many of them adorning Best Of lists.
That’s all changed this month, as first time contender Will of Exploding Helicopter has successfully beaten out the competition with Sam...
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...
