The LAMBcast

So we tried something a little different on the show this week. It's a small group, just talking without much of an agenda. We discuss January Film releases which are usually a travesty, and we found plenty of those, but we also uncovered a few nuggets of gold amongst all the garbage. Todd, Tyler and Richard have a great time wandering down memory lane and throwing rocks at the same time. Come hav...

It's been nearly a year since we had a Draft show and since January is a slow period in the cinemas, it seemed a good time for some alternative programming. The last actor draft we did was an update on Tom Hanks, but this time we are looking at the other side of the aisle, an acclaimed performer who has a resume to make the argument that she is the G.O.A.T. Meryl Streep. With an astounding 21 Acad...

It's Lambpardy time again, with the start of a whole new tournament!  Three new Lambpardy players - one's played before, one's been on the Lambcast before and the third is new to all listeners (unless you listen to his show) - are here for the first show of the first round of a whole new Lambpardy tournament! Two thirds of the First Time Watchers podcast take on each other and one-third of the Sim...

Jim Carrey is our actor of the month in the LAMB's Acting School 101 feature. Alongside the monthly blogathon held on the LAMB site, there will also be a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show. Rob was joined by David Brook of Blueprint Review to discuss all things  Jim Carrey, but mainly the five performances of his that th...

The January Movie of the month was championed by Emily Slade and she delights in bringing us Sean Connery as a Dragon. Former Host of the Lambcast, Jay Cluitt, joins the show to grouse about the films human star, Dennis Quaid, and Lisa Leaheey and Richard get into it in the Rant/Rave and Review section for a different film. Join us for some 90s nostalgia and some serenades as well.

This week, the host and the guests take turns taking pot shots at the dumpster fire that 2021 turned out to be. Everyone had their pet peeves about movie trends, streaming services, musicals, cancel culture and assorted other bit of ephemera. We complain and whine like a bunch of babies, but we had some fun doing it and you might enjoy listening to some cranky guys take down the entertainment busi...

Five Lambs discuss their favorite ten films of the year, and a bunch of the flock who could not be with us sent in their lists as well. If you are wondering what it is that you should have seen by now, or what might be up for awards in this season, this is the show for you. 

We did nothave a lot of shows in the last two months, devoted to single films. That means that the prestige films and holiday releases might go unmentioned. We can't let that happen, so we have a December session with the LAMB Community, where anything released at the end of the year could be included. Lots of films you have heard about but also several that might slip by without a mention. 

Alert the media! Start a parade! Set fire to something! It's the 2021 Lambpardy final!  It's been over a year in the making, but the Lambpardy final is finally here! 27 LAMB members have duked it out across 12 shows, 36 daily doubles, 732 questions and at least one round dedicated to cinematic dildoes to arrive here with our final three. Todd, Lisa and Justin all have very different histories with...

This week the Lambs examine the new Spider-Man film "No Way Home" in some detail, in a spoiler filled edition of the Lambcast. After we get that squared away, there is an elaborate discussion of all the stand alone films in the Spider-Man Universe. Come along and listen as we wonder why Paul Giamatti is insufficient to rescue The Amazing Spiderman 2, whether Andrew Garfield is the best actor among...

That's right, murder, corruption, prostitution, all the things you want in your stocking for Christmas are on this episode of the Lambcast. Continuing our long tradition of non-traditional Christmas films, Heather Baxendale-Walsh hosts the discussion of her winning entry in the MOTM December poll "L.A. Confidential".  Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.  

When you are actually talking about food, it is easy to spot: a burger, a slice, meat and potatoes, a piece of pie. When you are talking about movies, it gets more complicated. Video Comfort Movies could be as varied as any menu in the world. Movie fans find comfort in the strangest things. Some people want to curl up with Freddy Kruger or Jason Voorhees and get cozy. Others want to watch their fa...

Anthony Hopkins is our actor of the month in the LAMB's Acting School 101 feature. Alongside the monthly blogathon held on the LAMB site, there will also be a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show. Rob was joined by Howard Casner of Rantings and Ravings to discuss all things Anthony Hopkins, but mainly the five performances...

We tried a new format this week, with a substitute host and some open ended directions, the result...was actually terrific. Our guests pick some nostalgia filled films and some classics to make up their top ten lists of films released in the holiday periods of the 1990s. These are not necessarily Christmas films (and for the most part they are not) but rather films that made an impact on our LAMBs...

It's Lambpardy time again, but now it's all winners - round three!  It's the third and final Lambpardy semi-final of 2021! And this time around it's not just first round winners facing off against each other, but former running Lambpardy champions from before the tournament setup! It's a battle for the ages, as some of Lambpardy's toughest competitors duke it out for the last place in the final. A...

Finally, the Ghostbusters Sequel that people have been waiting for, I think. Join our team of echo-exterminators in blotting out the last "Ghostbusters" film and embracing the new. 

Todd Liebenow hosts this episode of the Lambcast as the Champion of the 1970 film M*A*S*H. Is it a problematic film, you bet, is it still entertaining? Todd and this week's lineup of guests will tell you. There are also games and Rants and assorted disputes about Altman and other things. Come on by and settle down for an irreverent football game in the middle of the Korean War.   

Meg Ryan is our actor of the month in the LAMB's Acting School 101 feature. Alongside the monthly blogathon held on the LAMB site, there will also be a monthly podcast episode devoted to the actor and their roles, and wouldn’t you know it but that’s this very show.

Eternals Assemble for Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Lambcast Assembles for a new Episode to discuss the Eternals. There are deep thoughts about morality, mythology and swirling circle thingy's. Can Four Lambs divide Ten Eternals into an hour and seventeen minutes? Come find out on this weeks show. 

We cover this Ridley Scott film two weeks after it opened and three weeks after it has been forgotten. Did the movie deserve an ignominious death at the box office, have we all missed a gem that shines in the filmography of the stars and the Director? Richard is Joined by Catherine Gonzalez, Howard Casner, James Wilson and a slightly late replacement Rachel Wagner, to look at the first of the Ridl...

John Lithgow is our actor of the month in the LAMB's Acting School 101 feature.

 It's Lambpardy time again, but now it's all winners - round two! It's the second Lambpardy semi-final of 2021! Three more first round winners face off for a place in the final. Prior to this year, they'd all played before but none of them had won, and now two of them will feel the acrid taste of defeat once more, but the other shall continue their victorious momentum onto the final! Tony Cogan, M...

Frank Herbert's landmark Science Fiction Novel arrives in a new version from Director Denis Villeneuve. This highly anticipated film is only part one of the novel, so the question behind a lot of our discussion this week concerns whether Part 2 will be needed. Sixty percent of the original guests had to be replaced with only Forty percent of the spots being filled. Still, Amanda, Cameron and James...

The October MOTM is a Sci-Fi/Horror film championed by Lisa LeaHeey. She hosts as the five of us search for a solution to the problem of what to watch on streaming this week. 

The long wait is over and the new James Bond adventure is in theaters. You will have to go back a year to find the last of the previous Lambcasts that were created in anticipation of this film. No that it has arrived, the Lamb community is anxious to talk about it. There are big spoilers in the discussion but they occur after a severe warning, so the show is safe to listen to for an hour. Of cours...
