    LAMBcast #125: The Dark Knight Rises

    I feel dumb typing anything here, other than the names of the show participants.  For the quasquicentennial episode of the LAMBcast, we talked about the only movie anyone is talking about at the moment.  You might have seen it.  It being the biggest movie of the year, the show runs a bit longer than I usually like, but I figured that it wasn’t every week that the end of one of the best trilogies comes to town.  On hand for the...

    LAMBcast #124: Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately?


    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, Kai and Stevee to go over some of our recent viewings.

    MOTM/LAMBcast #123: The Shape of Things

    Neil LaBute’s fifth feature film (following such indie hits as In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbors) came and went pretty quietly in 2003, despite featuring such current luminaries as Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz (as well as Gretchen Mol).  Based on LaBute’s play of the same name, it follows the pattern he set of focusing on gender dynamics, featuring brutal, often funny dialogue and low...

    LAMBcast #122: LAMBpardy #6

    “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 Fogs and Joanna.  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 and...

    LAMBcast #120: Prometheus

    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).

    MOTM/LAMBcast #119: An American Werewolf in London

    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...

    LAMBcast #118: Brian Roan vs. the World

    From the onset, this seemed like a bad idea – one podcast, eight people.  Our previous high for participants on a LAMBcast was six, and my general line of thinking is that any more than five leaves the potential for listener overload, particularly if the listener is not familiar with all of the voices that they’re hearing.  But the thought of throwing seven fans of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World against one hater was just...

    LAMBcast addendum: Vote on our Actor’s Career Draft!

    I was going to wait a few days to post this as a means to incentivize people to listen to the show prior to seeing and voting on our picks, but with the LAMMY nominations included in episode #117, I’m not exactly sure I really need to worry about that.  With over 200 downloads already, it’s safe to say that most of you have heard it…that is, unless you skipped right over the Cruise Draft and went straight to the...

    LAMBcast #117: Actor’s Career Draft (Tom Cruise)…oh, and the LAMMY nominations!

    Should I even bother to pretend that more than half of this show’s audience cares about anything other than the fact that it includes the LAMMY nominations?  Let’s not pretend.  So yes, while we’d love it if you stuck around and became a lifelong fan of the show (and of LAMB-produced podcasts, in general), I know the score.  So do try to enjoy our goofy draft of Tom Cruise movies (I’ll post the poll mentioned in the...

    LAMBcast #116: Franchise look-back: Jurassic Park

    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.

    The next Movie of the Month will be…


    Well, it’s about time – I finally won one of these polls!  I knew you would come to see my ways eventually.

    Or something like that.

    Anyway, yes, again we had another pretty tight matchup for the poll, with An American Werewolf in London finally knocking off Children of Men (a solid pick that I would have voted for had I not had a horse in the race) to become the next Movie of the Month...

    LAMBcast #115: Roll Your Own Top 5

    What’s your favorite superhero movie moment?  What’s the best depiction of God onscreen?  Do you know who Clifton Collins, Jr. is?  Have you heard of and/or seen 8 Women?

    These questions and many more were asked and answered on this episode of the LAMBcast, as Dylan, Nick, The Vern and Max got together to compile some (hopefully) interesting Top 5 lists.
