The month of April is when we celebrate a franchise in the Movie of the Month Episodes. While there are some movies that deserved a franchise and never got a sequel (The Nice Guys, Dredd and The Shadow could still happen if we wish hard enough), there are plenty of film series where we might wonder, “How did this happen?”
We have four film franchises that await your decision, which one will live on as a MOTM Lamb Legend?...
There are now five films in the “Ghostbusters” Franchise (that is if you count the 2016 film which is widely dismissed by fans) and the newest one hit theaters this last week. The new cast from “Ghostbusters Afterlife” have moved back to New York City and they have taken up the family business, but not without some complications.
This week our cast of Lambs does some busting of their own, questioning...
The Vern’s choice for Movie of the Month was the winner for March, and he hosted the show on 2016’s “The Neon Demon”. Those of you longtime listeners of the Lambcast know that The Vern enjoys a divisive movie conversation, and that’s exactly what we got with this week’s show. Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast, and James Wilson from Blogging by Cinema Light, joined us for an examination of...
There were four films submitted for MOTM for March, and everyone got some votes. A couple of the films had been talked about on the show, but that was not enough to put them over the top. It takes a dedicated LAMB, willing to use Social Media, to get the kind of support that turned the vote from a close contest to a run-away victory.
Congratulations to The Vern of Cinema Recall, his strategy led to a result that will allow him to...
Welcome back to Arrakis, the one planet in the Universe that supplies the spice mélange, which allows interstellar travel. It’s only other significant export is jihad, and this week the guests on the show spend some time talking about the roots of that second product. Oh, we of course talk about the movie as well, a film that seems to be living up to everyone’s very high expectations.
Three years ago, the first...
We have submissions from some fairly active LAMBs this Month. Three of these folks have been on the show in the last month and all of them are welcome guests. Whichever wins will have a Lambcast episode dedicated to it. Vote at the bottom of the page, but first here are the nominees:
The Last Starfighter-Matthew Simpson Awesome Friday Podcast
Drop Dead Fred-Heather Baxendale-Walsh Word of Hellmouth...
This month’s selection as MOTM came from a list of Blind Spots submitted by the host. A Martin Scorsese flop from 1983, which has grown in stature over the years, “The King of Comedy” starring Robert DeNiro. DeNiro is the frustrated, Rupert Pupkin, obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on Jerry’s show, he is only given the...
Those of you old enough to remember the year 1991, or at least, to have watched the videotapes from that year, will enjoy soaking up some nostalgia vibes this week. Everyone was asked to bring five movies to the show this episode and none of them were films Nominated for Best Picture by the Academy. In fact, you could almost consider this the anti-Oscar show of 1991. The guests this week were more interested in their own opinions than anyone...
The Movie of the Month Winner was selected from a list of seven, submitted by LAMBcast host Richard Kirkham in recognition of the month of his birth. All of the films were Blind Spots for your host and new Shepard, so whatever won was going to be something new for the show, even if the film was sixty years old.
Two films that were submitted received no votes, but the race between the top two films was close until the end. The Movie...
This week on the Lambcast we are talking about a new film that opened in theaters rather than streaming. Director Matthew Vaughn has been making spy films for a while now. His film “Layer Cake” was where the EON folks found Daniel Craig to play James Bond. It seems he is pitching a new 007 in his latest film, the frequently linked to the Bond Franchise, Henry Cavill. Whether or not Cavill gets a License to Kill, he has been deeply...
Do you like movies about Gladiators?
How about movies with lengthy sex scenes? Are you into early post apocalyptic survival stories? We have some films for you. This week on the LAMBcast, we have another in our featured series “Whatcha’ Been Watchin’?” Our guests this week reveal the kinds of things they are watching when they are not really planning a review or a podcast, but just scrolling through...
Hear ye, hear ye, all rise for the Honorable Lambcast. Enter and be judged. This week, the guests of the Lambcast are the Law. We decide if the 2012 version of Judge Dread is Dreadful, thus being sent to an iso cube for eternity, or if it is “Not Guilty” and can therefore continue to make action audiences everywhere happy.
Heather Baxendale-Walsh, longtime LAMB, Podcaster, and author, brings the dystopian future’s...
