    LAMBCAST 229 MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIES FOR THE REST OF 2014

    Bloody hell, it’s August! Who let that happen?

    That can only mean one thing; the year is well over halfway through, which means it’s time to update our Most Anticipated Movies lists, looking at what’s to come in the upcoming awards season, along with the tail end of the summer blockbusters, and the regular horror bunch that arrives every October for some inexplicable reason.

    LAMBCAST #228 GUILTY PLEASURE MOVIES

    There are times when your own opinion doesn’t necessarily match up with the general population. I don’t mean when you dislike Adam Sandler’s latest trough of tripe but it still tops the box office, I’m talking about the opinions of real people – you know, movie critics. There are films out there that it has been deemed not just unusual, but seemingly implausible to not just like, but love. That’s what...

    LAMBCAST #226 TAXI DRIVER MOTM

     

    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...

    LAMBCAST #225 PLANET OF THE APES

    It’s time for another franchise look-back, and it’s one that I’ve been particularly looking forward to, because I hadn’t seen any of the original movies. This time we got our hands on some damn dirty apes, for the Planet of the Apes franchise.

    LAMBCAST #223 CHARACTER ACTOR DRAFT – INTERNATIONAL EDITION

    Character Actors! I don’t know about you, but I love ’em, hence why back in Episode #187 we got together and drafted a bunch of them from North America. Well, now it’s time to do it again, this time picking from the rest of the world.

    LAMBCAST #222 BOOGIE NIGHT MOTM

    So it seems you people like listening to us talking about sex, what with last month’s winner being Shame, a movie focused on sex addiction, and this month’s winner being Boogie Nights, which is all about the porn industry in the 1970s and ’80s. So be it.

    Robert Zerbe was handed the hosting reigns for this show, and he was joined by regular host Jay Cluitt, Lindsay Street, MOTM champion Jess Manzo and newcomer...

    LAMBCAST #221 X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

    The first episode of the Lambcast’s first unofficial spin-off podcast is here, it’s time for Jay & Robert Talk Time Travel! You see, Robert and Jay are big fans of time travel movies (go back and listen to episode 201 on Timecop if you want proof), so whenever the occasion arises that we can talk about this sub-genre, you can guarantee we’ll take it. In this instance, we’re talking about the seventh and latest...

    “This… is… Lambpardy!”

    That’s right folks, it’s time for another edition of the Lambcast’s totally original and not at all ripped off movie-themed game show, Lambpardy!

    Returning champion Robert has won far too many times, so host Jay brought in a couple of ringers in the forms of Bubbawheat and former champion Dylan Fields to bring him down. Were they successful, or did Robert defeat...

    LAMBCAST #218 MOTM SHAME

    We’re really exploring the varied landscape of cinema with our recent Movies of the Month, as last month we celebrated the fun sci-fi/comedy with the Back to the Future trilogy, and this month we delved into the somewhat murkier world of sex addiction with Steve McQueen’s Shame.

    Host Jay Cluitt was joined by the film’s champion, Alex Withrow, along with Stevee Taylor, Jess Manzo and Kristen Lopez to...
