    LAMBCAST #205 THE WILD BUNCH MOTM

    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...

  • LAMBCAST #204 WHATCHA BEEN WATCHING LATELY

    LAMBCAST #204 WHATCHA BEEN WATCHING LATELY

    A lot of movie podcasts have a regular feature in which they discuss the latest films they’ve seen. We don’t normally do that here; instead we just wait and dedicate an entire episode to it!

    Technical and scheduling issues resulted in a three-man show, with host Jay Cluitt joined by Jason Soto and Todd Liebenow, but this resulted in a meandering discussion that took in everything from the early career of Hayden...

  • LAMBCAST #203 MOST ANTICIPATED OF 2014

    LAMBCAST #203 MOST ANTICIPATED OF 2014

    Looking ahead, you may not think there’s too many good films coming out over the course of the next year, especially when you consider how full 2015 is looking. Well, you may be right, but that didn’t stop host Jay Cluitt, along with guests Justin Gott, Jess Manzo, Mette Kowalski and Kristen Lopez, as they listed their top 5 most anticipated films of the upcoming year. Don’t worry though, there’s still a fair few gems...

  • LAMBCAST #202 BEST OF 2013

    LAMBCAST #202 BEST OF 2013

    2013 has been and gone, so it’s about time we here at the Lambcast paid it a fitting farewell by reminiscing over our favourite films from the year, and boy did we do it in style. Host Jay Cluitt was joined by Lindsay Street, Shane Slater, Jessica Elgenstierna and Kristen Lopez to reel off their top 5s, before awarding some random Lamb (Lamb-dom? No.) awards wherever they felt necessary.

    Also on hand were rants and raves...

  • LAMBCAST #201: TIMECOP MOTM

    LAMBCAST #201: TIMECOP MOTM


    Jean Claude Van Damme! Time travelling! Kicking things! This month’s Movie of the Month champion is not what you’d necessarily call a “good” film, but it certainly provoked an entertaining discussion covering the career of JCVD, the ramifications of time travel and whether or not the same matter can share the same space (it can… but it can’t).…

    LAMBCAST #199: DIRECTOR RETROSPECTIVE – THE COENS

    If it seems as though we just keep getting more and more ambitious with these lookbacks/retrospectives…well, that’s pretty much true.  That said, we’re not insane.  The Coen Brothers had 15 films in their filmography prior to Inside Llewyn Davis; as much as we might have liked to watch all 15, that would make for at least a four-hour podcast, to say nothing of the time involved in watching/rewatching all of them...

    MOTM/LAMBCAST #196: COCKTAIL

    I don’t know if it’s a slight against the film or not, but this is the entirety of the IMDb summary of our most recent Movie of the Month, Cocktail:

    A talented New York bartender takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love.

    If you’re a normal movie blogger at all, you’re probably wondering why and how this film came to be the Movie of the Month.  For the...

    LAMBCAST #193: BRING YOUR OWN DISCUSSION TOPIC

    What’s the deal with perfect ratings?  How important should a potential partner’s taste in (and interest in) film be to you, the film lover and/or blogger?  And seriously, what’s the deal with all the superhero fare in the 21st century?  These topics and many more (ok, maybe not many more, but many more tangents, such as Jay’s usage of the term “move house”) are brought to the table in yet another...

    LAMBCAST #190: FRANCHISE (KINDA) LOOK-BACK: UNIVERSAL MONSTERS

    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...

  • LAMBCAST #189: MACHETE KILLS

    LAMBCAST #189: MACHETE KILLS

    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...

  • WHO WON THE CHARACTER ACTOR DRAFT?

    WHO WON THE CHARACTER ACTOR DRAFT?

    Recently on the LAMBcast, we had a very intricate, duly-researched, overly complex fantasy draft involving character actors (North American only).  You’ve had some time to listen to and digest the amazing choices that Jay, Dan, Nick P. and myself made, and now it’s time to separate the Buscemis from the Turturros (well, except that neither was deemed draftable on the show – have a listen to find out why).  Anyway,...
