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...

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...
The sequel was years overdue, so why shouldn’t the podcast about the sequel be a few days late as well?
Justin hosts this svelte episode (co-starring Lindsay and Dan Clark) on the long-awaited comedy. Was the wait worth it? What bits hits and which bombed? Can lightning be caught in a bottle of Sex Panther once again? These questions and many more will be answered by our hard-hitting team.
After that came Rants...
“This….is…LAMBpardy!”
Now entering the studio are today’s contestants…
First up is our NEW returning champion, Robert of To The Escape Hatch, who won impressively over our prior champ, Nick Powell. Was that a fluke or is he the real deal? We’ll find out this week, as he takes on first-time player Matt of Simplistic Reviews, as well as returning player Nick Rehak of French Toast...
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...
No need for any fancy introduction this time out: it’s the sequel to the massive hit The Hunger Games, and it’s going to be one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. As such, the LAMBcast does its duty and covers the film with an episode devoted to it. On hand for the GAMES (not only did I go there, but I went BIG!) were your host Dylan, as well as French Toasties Lindsay and Jess, in addition to TWO newcomers...
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...
Timing is everything! At least as it pertains to the selection of the Movie of the Month, it is. Justin of Man, I Love Films has attempted to wedge his love for Cocktail and/or Tom Cruise into several MOTM polls, and by waiting until the clamor to champion films died down, he nearly got his pick in without even needing a poll. As it was, Dan of Public Transportation Snob snuck in at the last second with an equally cheesy...
Pretty sure I haven’t seen an IMDb summary recently that makes the film it’s talking about sound much worse than this one:
“Billy and Sydney think they’re the best basketball hustlers in town, so when they join forces, nothing can stop them, except each other. To add to their problems, Billy owes money and is being chased by a pair of gangster types.“
White Men Can’t Jump,...
“If you got a problem, yo, we’ll solve it.”
That’s the motto for the Ask the LAMB feature here, a segment that finds its host Jason Soto trolling Yahoo Answers for truly insane questions. It can bring some seriously credible answers from a wide variety of film bloggers. It can also bring some seriously funny answers. Occasionally, it does both.
And so, Jason brings to you the third edition of this...
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...
