    LAMBCAST #176: ACTOR CAREER DRAFT – NIC CAGE (!)

    What can you say – nay, what do you need to say about Nic Cage?  It’s a good bet that volumes of texts will be written about the man within a few decades.  College courses taught about the man.  Religions possibly formed (or destroyed?) by his aura.  He’s basically Star Wars in the form of a singluar actor. 

    As such, it was only fitting that he be the subject of one of our actor career drafts. ...

  • The MOTM for August 2013 will be…

    The MOTM for August 2013 will be…

    This had to have been one of the more diverse groupings of films we’ve had for the MOTM.  True, it’s not as though there were any foreign films or silents or docs, but we had a classic horror flick, a classic noir, a sci-fi thriller, a sports comedy, and whatever Dark City fits into. 

    However, what started as a close race pretty quickly became a blowout, as Dan Heaton’s selection of Double...

    MOTM/LAMBCAST #175: BULLY

    Larry Clark is perhaps best known for the 1995 film Kids, which launched the careers of quite a few people: Rosario Dawson, Chloe Sevingy, Harmony Korrine, and Clark himself.  But his 2001 film Bully – not to be confused with the 2011 documentary of the same name – is a similar piece of filmmaking, dealing with the angst and lifestyles of (mostly) teenagers, this time in Florida.  It’s also based on a...

    Announcing Foreign Chops #14: Italy

    Robert from Sketchy Details back with another new topic for Foreign Chops. This month, we’re looking at Italy. Foreign Chops already covered the Spaghetti Western, but I want to dig deeper. Italian cinema offers everything from some of the most shocking horror/thriller films (gialli) every made to award-winning international sensations.

    LAMBCAST #174: BRING A DISCUSSION TOPIC

    It’s one of my favorite episode types – and not just because it requires less work on the host’s behalf.  It’s Bring a Discussion Topic, in which each participant comes to the virtual table with something they hope will spur an engaging discussion.   Sometimes they’re duds, sometimes they’re great…and in this episode, I gotta say, they’re pretty damn good.  Oh hand for the shenanigans (have...

  • LAMBCAST #173: WHATCHA BEEN WATCHING LATELY?

    LAMBCAST #173: WHATCHA BEEN WATCHING LATELY?

    Such a simple question…and yet it yields such diverse answers.  Such an easy question…and yet, when posed to five movie geeks, it becomes a philosophical conundrum.  The question: what films have you been watching lately, and can you narrow that list down to one to talk about.  One that you (hopefully) are passionate about, one way or the other.  As usual, the question yielded diverse results, brought to you by Dylan, Kai,...

    LAMBCAST #172: MAN OF STEEL

    The LAMBcast’s Summer Series (as it might well be called) is winding down to a close.  We started with what looks to be the summer’s biggest hit, Iron Man 3, stared down the latest Star Trek entry, spent some family time with the Fast & Furious gang, and now revisit the dormant Superman series, as we take an in-depth look at Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.  On hand for the show...
