[Note: I asked the MOTM Champion Justin if he’d be interested in writing the intro for this post. Here’s what he delivered.]
Every month at the LAMB, we have a poll that establishes our Movie of the Month. The winner is watched and discussed on the LAMBcast by a few of our members. Sometimes the winner that we review together is serious (last month’s silent German film Metropolis),...
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...
Sometimes we play serious games (LAMBpardy). Sometime we get serious with our Movies of the Month. Sometimes we get goofy with things like actor’s career drafts. And sometimes we just like to talk about what we’ve been watching lately. This is one of those times, as I was joined by Nick, Todd, and Max to go over some of our recent viewings.
Also on tap:
* Rants and Raves of the Week
* Last LAMB...
We had ourselves another two-horse race in the last MOTM poll, and it came down to two four-word-titled, underrated (?) modern films – White Men Can’t Jump and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. In the end, the Robert Downey, Jr./Val Kilmer vehicle won out (championed by Justin Gott of Man, I Love Films), taking 26.3% of the 95 votes. As such, Justin has won a chair in the LAMBcast in which we’ll discuss the film,...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Once more, Kai puts on his Alex Trebek hat to play host for our version of Jeopardy. Back in the champ chair is Dylan, this time challenged by Justin and Nick R.. Did they take his title? Listen and find out!
LAMBpardy episopdes are a semi-regular feature of the LAMBcast, so if you’d like to be a player in the future, keep an eye out over at the Forums, as demand is high...
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...
Anyone who’s heard me wax poetic about advice or guidelines or just my personal preferences for podcasts in general knows that, in general, I’m not a fan of superlong podcasts. I try to keep this show around the hour mark, though I realize that with five participants on just about every show, that’s pretty unrealistic. I regularly give guest hosts like Nick and Jason a hard time before they record a show since they have...
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but there are literally a crapton of possibly-excellent films (or, at the least, very anticipated) on the schedule for the rest of 2012. Fortunately for you, we here at the LAMBcast have an annual show on the schedule in which we look forward and count down just which ones make the “most anticipated” cut for us. So listen in as Nick, Sebastian, Dylan and two...
Is it just me, or is it strange how the discussions of certain book-to-film adaptations seem to center on the quality of adaptation rather than the quality of film; that the act of the adaptation is so inseparable from the film that it’s impossible to ignore? Think about The Hunger Games recently, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; although certainly not all film bloggers read these books prior to seeing the films, it does...
It was high time we tried something a little new, so for episode 126, we eschewed our traditional “feature discussion” in favor of several mini-discussions, in which each participant brought a topic to the table, giving us a wide variety of conversations. On hand was your Shepherd Joel, Alan, Bubbawheat, Dylan, and joining us for the first time, Andrew Crump of A Constant Visual Feast.
(By the way, I apologize in advance...
Hey there, knowing that Jason won’t be posting a netflix game today I thought I’d sneak in and do a post I have had lying in my mind for a week or so.
As some of you know that has payed attention in the LAMBforums we are trying to get a LAMB meetup together in Vegas for Oscar weekend 2013. But there has already been a mini meet-up taking place and I thought I’d start highlighting such events...
