The category may be returning after a year’s hiatus, but some of the old familiar faces can still be found:
Runner-up: Random Ramblings...
The voters in our last MOTM poll overwhelmingly selected Oldboy as this month’s film, and it’s not hard to see why. Chan-wook Park’s genre-spanning 2003 film shockingly was not an instant classic, but has become more than a cult icon in the eight years since its release, climbing the IMDb Top 250 (it currently sits at #97) and, more importantly, becoming more and more known as one of the quintessential Asian films of the new...
Jess hosts a roundtable discussion of romantic comedies: the good, the bad, and the just plan unwatchable. Is the genre more than just Katherine Heigl and Kate Hudson flicks? Does The Princess Bride count as a rom-com? Is the term ‘rom-com’ an insult? Jess, Rachel, Nick, James and Dylan attempt to answer all of these questions and more.
We’d also like to give a special shout-out to Clara of Just Chick Flicks, who...
We had a full house of five LAMBcasters on board to discuss the latest installment of Wes Craven’s once-upon-a-time-hip teen slasher franchise – would we think this one continues the tradition or falls flat? Nick, Jason, James, Dylan and Simon break it down. Also – we bid adieu to the LAMB of the Week and unveil our new segment: Rants of the Week. Be sure to let us know what ya think!

The ever popular Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately once again spawns for another discussion of a really messed up film…but probably not from the person you’re expecting. Is it Nick, Dylan, James or Stevee? Come to think of it, all of the films we discuss are messed up. Also, we talk about a film made before 1970! Yay!

Alright you jive-ass turkeys…it’s time to shut up and listen, ’cause grown ups is talking.
That’s right, it’s time for the Movie of the Month, and with it, the LAMBcast dedicated to said movie. If you haven’t seen the 2009 comedy that kisses the feet of the blaxploitation genre just prior to sweeping those feet from the ground, you’re missing out. Can you dig it? So kick back, have yourself...
The Green Hornet. Priest. Thor. Captain America. Green Lantern. Cowboys & Aliens. X-Men: First Class. Conan the Barbarian. You couldn’t possibly miss the fact that there are a ton of comic book adaptations coming to the screen this summer. James, Nick, and Dylan break them down with a little outside help, as we welcome Justin Fields, also known as Dylan’s brother.

The gang of four is back after a one-week hiatus to bring you a new kind of LAMBcast. Jason, James, Nick and Dylan couldn’t find anything worth discussing in the new release section, so we watched This Is Spinal Tap (for the first time!) and convened to break it down. Smell the Glove, baby!!

Haha, Ok, I probably could have tried harder on that one. One movie that I can't stand and that I walked out on in the cinema is 'Norbit'. Movies that are made PURELY for a few bucks at box office just shouldn't be made!

Thanks! No worries, I didn't think it was personal. In fact, I forget to send in my links so often that I first questioned my own memory of sending in the link, thinking it may have been a dream. :)
