After a spirited competition, that came down to a single vote separating the top three contenders, we have a winner. The April MOTM Franchise will be the Matt Reeves Planet of the Apes trilogy. This is just in time for the fourth film opening in May.
Congratulations to Matthew Simpson who will get to host the episode when it arrives at the end of the month. Our Condolences to the other fine choices, in particular Lisa Leaheey, ...
Everyone knows that spoilers are irritating to film fans who have not yet seen the movie. Here on the LAMBcast however, most of us have seen these movies so we are not afraid to talk about them, in particular the key elements that might spoil the movie for you. This week’s episode is the antithesis of what we usually try to do here. We are not coy about giving away the ending of a movie, a plot twist or two, or revealing the presence of...
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?...
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...
We can’t really keep up with every movie that gets released, but that is especially true in December when big budget holiday releases and specialty Oscar bait, compete for our attention. This week is a free for all, because the six guests and the host, are welcome to talk about any movies that got released in the last six weeks of the year.
We are saving our Top Ten Lists for the next episode, but some of those films might...
November is covered with two new films to be included on the Lambcast: The Holdovers and Napoleon. For December there are many choices and the Community is going to give us their input on which two to include. We will still have the MOTM and a specialty show but when it comes to new films, your choice is going to determine the Conversation. The schedule for November and December will reach your mailbox after this vote is concluded....
We have always had games as part of the Lambcast, even if every episode did not have a game. We fill in some of those “gameless” shows with an episode that is all games this week. All of the guests on the show this week brought a game to play, and no one knew what anyone else had in mind. Fortunately all of the games are different, they have varying degrees of difficulty, and you can play along with the guests to test your own...
There were other films discussed as well but the five rounds of movies selected by your contestants are listed. Vote for the Year you think was the Best.

“I really enjoy the MCU films, except for the ones I hate”.
So which way are we going to go in evaluating “Quantumania”?, you will have to listen to find out, but there are a few hints in the topics we cover on this week’s show.
From the beginning, our panel confounds expectations. Former Lambcast Host Jay Cluitt was sure that he was going to be engaging in an argument with regular guest...
