For those who still haven’t heard enough about Prometheus, or perhaps are just dying to hear what us folks at the LAMBcast have to say, we present you with our episode dedicated to Ridley Scott’s Alien quasi-prequel. Your host Dylan is joined by Nick, Fogs, Sebastian and first-time LAMBcaster Iba of i luv cinema, making her podcast debut (and excellently so, I might add).

Released in 1981, An American Werewolf in London was heralded early on for its groundbreaking special effects, which remain the de facto star all these years later. A simple, stripped-down tale of men and the monsters that they become, it continued writer/director John Landis’ incredible 80s run after Animal House and The Blues Brothers and would lead directly to his working with Michael Jackson on the...
The LAMMY final poll is now closed its been a fun ride but it isn’t actually over yet! The category of Best New LAMB actually ended up being tied between The Velvet Cafe and Fogs Moviereviews.
So I’ve actually contacted all the LAMBs that voted for the three other nominees, Public Transportation Snob, The Droid You are Looking For and Cinematic Corner to have them choose between Jessica and Fogs’.

From Steven Spielberg to Joe Johnston, from Jeff Goldblum to Vince Vaughn, from the Park itself to San Diego (thank god that music was there the whole time, right?) – it’s another franchise look-back here on the LAMBcast. Dan Heaton sat in the host chair for the first time, leading the discussion of the trilogy, and was joined by Fogs, Lindsay, Mike and Ryan.

Released in 1988, Heathers was not only a product of its time but perhaps a bit ahead of it as well. The pitch-black comedy starred Winona Ryder (soon to hit the big time with Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) and Christian Slater (also early in his career) as a pair of young lovers intent on creating some chaos at their high school. Although it wasn’t a hit at the time, it was a unique enough vision to gain a...
When I took over as LAMB Shepherd Rachel told me the LAMMYs would be intense and she knew her stuff. I’m amazed at the fast turnout of FYC Banners and I’m very happy to start showcasing them!

Once again, our Movie of the Month pick comes from the early 80s – specifically 1982, as discussed on the accompanying LAMBcast, a a banner year for sci-fi films the likes of which we probably won’t see again. The choice this time out is Blade Runner, the Ridley Scott-directed, Harrison Ford-starring ensemble piece that delves into some of man’s largest questions: What does it mean to be human? To...
For the 107th episode, we take a step in a new direction and open up a new recurring series for the show, in which we take a look at a popular series from film history. Over at the LAMB Forums, the participants in the show voted from a number of franchises and the winner was the Alien series. On hand for the show was host Dylan as well as Nick, Tom, Fogs and newcomer Mark of Green People Soup.
To commemorate this somewhat...
The Fogs’ Movie Reviews takeover of the LAMB is nearing completion. First, Dan went and flexed his muscle to get The Shining to be last month’s selection. But that wasn’t enough….no, not by a long stretch. When I announced the new Champions wrinkle, he was all over it, and quickly took to the streets, haggling everyone and anyone he could to vote for his selection.
Or maybe folks just liked his choice...
We’ve been doing the rejuvenated Movie of the Month (in conjunction with LAMBcasts devoted to said MOTMs) for close to a year now, and it’s time to throw in a new wrinkle. Along the way, we’ve had several people campaign heavily for one film or another, sometimes gaining support and getting that film voted as the winner (like, say, Joel with The Long Kiss Goodnight) and sometimes not quite having enough pull to get a win...
I say every week that the LAMBcast loves having new blood on the show, and I mean it. This week, we get two more newbies to the show, in the form of Brian of DearFilm.net and Dan of Fog’s (that’s pronounced ‘foges’) Movie Reviews. In the coming weeks, we’ll have even more, including (le gasp) some more women! You guys keep getting interested in the show, we’ll keep finding ways to get you all...
