According to the Spreadsheet that Jay turned over to me when I took over as the host of the Lambcast, the first episode was March 14, 2010. It took me a minute to figure that out because the dates are listed as the English do, Day/Month/Year rather than the more appropriate Month/Day/Year, what do you expect from people who want us to use the metric system? That means that the podcast is over eleven years old and has run continuously all...
600 episodes is a milestone worth celebrating, but we really don’t do that this week. Instead, we let the film we are focusing on provide all the fireworks. A new MCU hero is being introduced and there is an origin story to accomplish that. The Universe expands with this entry by allowing an under utilized part of the world to be center stage for the 25th film in the official cannon.
Whether it is magic,...

If you say her name five times in front of your computer, she will appear as host of this week’s Lambcast. For a second week in a row, Richard is on the road but the good sheep of the community have rounded up a few strays and they wander through the pasture dispensing opinions on what is nominally a horror film.

So the end of August turns out to be a confluence of interesting bumps. Lisa Leaheey champions “the Orphanage” to Movie of the Month Status. Richard is traveling this weekend so he asks Lisa to host the show by herself, since she was going to do most of the hosting anyway. Everything is set until Tropical Storm “Henri” decides to batter the Northeastern U.S. and Lisa is without power or internet connection. Knowing...
This week we finally get a film that has been promised to us on three other dates during the pandemic. The big question should be whether delayed gratification was worth it, but our guests this week found a lot of bigger questions to ask as well. This Ryan Reynolds vehicle is full of movie special effects and sardonic humor, but you will discover strengths and weaknesses that you never imagined.
Richard was joined...
This week our group of super villains, “The Yak Attack” dissects the newest film from the DCEU, “The” Suicide Squad, not to be confused with simply Suicide Squad. There has been a range of opinions on line about the film, and not surprisingly, we repeat the pattern. Jeanette Ward, James Wilson, Todd Liebenow and Bubbawheat follow Richard onto the beach and into the face of enemy fire.
We are...
Highly anticipated, and like many other films this year, long delayed, “The Green Knight” is a retelling of the Arthurian Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. It is a poem that has been translated by many, including J.R.R. Tolkien, from it’s middle English roots. This week it is translated by writer/Director David Lowery to film and our guests tackle it’s meaning, accomplishments and...
It’s Lambpardy time again!
Three new challengers are here to compete for the penultimate place in the second round of the 2021 Lambpardy Tournament.

Every once in a while M. Night Shyamalan peeks his head out with a new thriller. The source of our fear is not always the subject of the movie, but instead, whether we are getting “The Sixth Sense” or “The Happening”. This week, Richard took three other Lambs to the beach to play on the sand. Now it is time to reveal if we got a glowing tan or a crimson burn.
“Old” is a mix of...
The Vern won the Movie of the Month Poll this July, and unlike past victories of his, no one wants to kill him for championing this film. “Ginger Snaps” from 2000, was the subject of the latest Lambcast and horror films seem to work not only at Halloween but during the Summer Months. It might be a bit of a spoiler to say this is a werewolf movie, but if you did not know that going in, you did not see any artwork used in the...
The wait is finally over, theaters are open, and the MCU is back with the first film from Phase 4, or is it the last film in Phase 3? You will have to decide because there is a lot of looking back but also much to look forward to.
After having been moved around on the release schedule at least three times, Richard managed to keep the fols who were originally scheduled to be on the show back in 2020 on this podcast. We even added...
The Independence Day weekend has been a location for blockbuster Summer movies for decades now, but this year, the long holiday weekend found the Big Blockbuster movie, not on a cinema screen but on your TV screen. “The Tomorrow War” was originally planned as Paramount’s big Christmas release, but it got pushed back and then sold for a bundle to Amazon, who decided not to go theatrical but straight to...
