The LAMBcast

The long running "Scream" franchise shows up for a seventh iteration and the LAMB is there to talk about it. How does it measure up to the earlier episodes, are the new characters interesting enough to keep track of, wait, the killer is...you are kidding me?  Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox return to the series, and they bring some legacy characters to the show in a way that may frighten you more t...

We invited some LAMBs to create Top Five Lists for the week to share with you. We got two old school LAMBs to join the show, along with two old LAMBs and we imported one from Great Britain as well. You are going to hear about Film Festivals, Character Actors, Anthology films and comedies. Oh yeah, we also get some risqué talk about male appendages that  show up in movies when they are least expect...

A low turnout on the poll did not keep us from having a great discussion on this pivotal socially relevant film.  1967 was a tipping point for Hollywood and "In the Heat of the Night" won the Academy Award for Best Picture in a contest between old and new Hollywood. Dave Anderson of the Free Kittens Movie Guide championed the film and hosts the discussion. Pop Art's Howard Casner and Matthew Simps...

Although we did a sports movie draft in 2019, that episode is lost in the ethernets. Besides, we have new LAMBs and a hundred or more Sports movies to choose from since then, so we are just going to do it again. We celebrate 800 episodes of the Lambcast this week, and in the ten years that Richard has joined the podcast, he managed to be on more than half the episodes now. So remember that when yo...

Top Five Playlists of podcasts should always include the LAMBcast, especially the MOTM episodes. No one should be missing out on the conversation about this 2000 film starring John Cusack and the breakout role of Jack Black. Tony Cogan and Matthew Simpson are our international guests this week to talk about an Novel set in London, transferred to a movie set in Chicago. If you love the vibe of an i...

Were you alive in 1983? All of this week's guests were, but some of them were so young that they have no memory of going to see a movie that year. Of course we also have senior LAMBs on the show, who can tell you how much they paid for popcorn in 1983. David Brook, The Vern, Howard Casner and Todd Liebenow have some interesting film picks for this week's show. "Krull" on over and take a nostalgia...

Are you ready to hear opinions that will make you scream?  Can you believe some of the things that our cast this week believes?  Are you the kind of person who is OK with pineapple on a pizza? Get ready for some wild points of view from Howard Casner, Dave Anderson and The Vern, because if you love Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, John Carpenter and Ridley Scott, these guys have opinions that may...

Happy New Year! and that means looking back at last year. This week we have a handful of guests on the show and a handful of lists from guests who could not make the show. What films did the LAMB community love,? Here they are for you to enjoy. Howard Casner, Jeanette Ward, MovieRob, Tony Cogan, and Rachel Wagner are in person. The Shepard also rounded up some LAMBs that could not make it into the...

There were nearly 150 films released to theaters in the last three months of 2025, and the LAMBcast only devoted four shows to entirely new films. This is a chance to talk about Oscar bait films, Holiday Blockbusters, and off the beaten path films that were overlooked on the show in the last quarter of 2025. Todd Liebenow, Howard Casner, David Brook and MovieRob join the cast to talk about what th...

There was early interest in "Hamnet" from the LAMB community when the schedule first went out, but two guests had to drop out of the show a day before recording and an SOS went out for replacements. Fortunately the call was answered and Rachel Wagner of "Rachel's Reviews" came in and did the work of two to make the show more complete. Of course returning LAMB Latoya Austin from "Frangalis27Tales",...

By executive action, "Santa Jaws" was chosen to be the MOTM for our December Christmas themed MOTM. The cheesy nature of the film encouraged a great number of puns, bad jokes, and alternative endings and title for a sequel. Let's face it, if you choose to watch a film called "Santa Jaws" you know what you are getting into. Our resident shark movie expert and former host of this podcast, Jay Cluitt...

Another Special Episode of the Lambcast, while the Holidays occupy our time. This week Howard Casner shares his thoughts about the Channing Tatum dramadey "Roofman" starring Kirsten Dunst. What is promoted as a comedy action film is really a warm hearted romantic drama, featuring excellent performances from the two leads. The film is based on an incredible true crime story of an escaped robber who...

The horror film that is told from the Dog's perspective, "Good Boy", arrives on Shudder this week. It received a short theatrical run, which Lisa Leaheey and I both had an opportunity to attend last month. Because of the holidays and personal travel, regular episodes of the Lambcast are next available in December. So, in lieu of that, here is a "Special" Edition for you featuring our favorite Rhod...

Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast, shows why he is awesome by taking over the hosting duties for the November MOTM. The Genre for November was sports films, and a lot of votes came in, ultimately the Gold Medal went to 1993' "Cool Runnings" the Disney film about the Jamaican Bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics. His guests this week ate "The Vern" from Cinema Recall and Matt Poir...

This week we explore the exotic world of Genna, the Australia of the galaxy. Everything here wants to kill you, including a young Yautja, seeking to prove himself to his clan. A tight action film with a science fiction background and based on a long standing IP, it will work, right? Surprise! It does. Aaron Neuwirth and Jeannette Ward are long time "Predator" fans and they will vouch for this film...

In another act of self disclosure, our LAMBs this week reveal some of their blind spots and why they have missed out on those movies. Howard has a Hitchcock film on his list, and a modern horror film that most of the LAMB community has already seen. Todd simply feels guilty about buying VHS tapes and not having yet caught up on them, although one featuring Andy Griffin is going to make him happy i...

The Lambcast got blindsided by studio schedule shuffles, so instead of engaging in Mortal Kombat this weekend, our guests took a trip down a scary memory lane. Aaron Neuwirth, Jeanette Ward, Matt Poirier and Lisa Leaheey all agreed to a shift to a Halloween feature for the show. We talk about our first horror movie experiences in theaters, at home and with a special someone. Everyone brought their...

Sometimes there is nothing you want to leave the house to see in a theater. After all, you already saw the newest Marvel movie three times, or it’s October and you don’t dig horror films, so what can you do? Well to take a phrase from fifteen years ago, and make you feel old with the reference, you can “Netflix and Chill”. That’s exactly what we are doing on this week's show, although with my gues...

As always, the October MOTM is horror themed, but for a time, the horror was our communities indecision. Twice films tied for the selection, executive action resolved the dilemma and "Re-Animator" from 1985 is our film this week. A horror film filled with gore and comedy seems like a perfect choice, but a couple of the guests were less than enthusiastic, and it may surprise you as to who. If your...

The new film from Paul Thomas Anderson does not get universal praise from our LAMB flock this week. One person sees brilliance, one sees a shining star in comparison to everything else this year, and one sees a film that they hated. Your opinions about the film may be challenged by any one of these perspectives, but you will only discover how if you come in and listen (or for you Illustrated Podca...

This week, you get extra because you have been so good (and also because the guests can't wait for Halloween to talk about horror.  There is the final entry in a very solid horror franchise, a Stephen King Dystopia story that is basically a two hour walk and talk, and an original film presented under the banner of Jordan Peele, but one that he did not write or direct.  Lisa Leaheey and Damien Rile...

The legacy sequel to the 1984 classic is out this week. It may not be doing well at the box office, but it's a fine line between entertaining and profitable. Howard Casner and Damien Riley join the show this week to see if this one goes to eleven. We get some sidetrack discussion on movie theater attendance and spend some time assessing the likelihood of a mediocre band appearing at Wimbledon.  So...

The MOTM has been a long tradition on the Lambcast, well before I came along and took the reins. We are starting some innovations on the practice and they commence this week. The MOTM will now be focused on a different genre or theme each month. My hope is that it will make it easier for people with films they want to talk about to remember to submit their choices. I will also submit a number of o...

The "Wayback Machine" is set for a short trip on this week's episode of the Lambcast, we are traveling back just a few years to talk about films from 2012. In the Cinema World, We finished off the Twilight Movies, and Started the Hobbit Slog Through Middle Earth. James Bond celebrated 50 years on the big screen, The Dark Knight Started with a truly Dark Day, The Avengers finally came together, as...

Whatever happened to teen sex comedies?  We immerse ourselves in one of a wave of such films that emerged in the late 90s and early 2000s but seem to have disappeared off the big screen these days (ok, there are occasional exceptions but not many). Bubbawheat nominated EuroTrip as MOTM and he hosts the discussion as well as using a number of quotes from the film. Todd Liebenow,and David Brook are...
