The LAMBcast

It is the 50th Anniversary of "The Towering Inferno", and enough members of the community thought that was a justification to vote for it in this month's poll. It turns out, we did this as a MOTM back in 2016, and for the moment, that is a lost episode. This episode is not lost and Dave Anderson from "Free Kittens Movie Guide" hosts the discussion. James Wilson and Matthew Simpson join the cast fo...

The Alien Franchise has been around for forty-five years now, and there have been ups and downs along the way. Fede Alverez, the director of the "Evil Dead" re-boot and "Don't Breathe" has been given the reins and our cast this week is ready to chime in on his work. We go spoiler free for the first half hour, but if you have seen the original film, there is nothing here that will surprise you. Hea...

Six Lambs enter, One Lamb Leaves, at least if the community votes. This is a draft show with six slates of films, competing for your approval. Damien Riley, Aaron Neuwirth, Todd Liebenow, The Vern, Howard Casner and Richard Kirkham, struggle to choose from all the 1984 films available, to come up with a winning team. Do they choose films they love, or will they choose films they think you will lov...

No doubt this will be one of the big films of the Summer for 2024. Whether or not it deserves to be is the subject of our conversation on the Lambcast this week. Jeffrey Lyles from Lyles Movie Files, Bubba Wheat from Flights, Tights and Movie Nights and Pop Art's Howard Casner, join the show to mouth off about the two mouthiest superheroes in comic book films. The show is PG-13 but the movie is de...

Nostalgia for 1984 runs rampant in this week's episode as we check in on "The Last Starfighter".  Matthew Simpson hosts the conversation as the champion of the film, but Richard and Todd Liebenow are right there with him as we trapse down memory lane.  Tony Coogan provides a perspective on the film from a first time watcher just a few weeks ago. So join us as we tout 80s Digital effects, heartwarm...

It only feels right that the Lambcast guests this week are of an age that they actually remember the Moon landing in 1969.  Everyone else will of course remember Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, two actors not born when the film they have made was set. A romantic comedy based on the loopy conspiracy theory that the Moon Landing was faked? Are we going to be pissed off, or charmed? You will h...

This week we try to catch up with some movies that we haven't been able to cover in the last two months. Jeffrey Lyles, Tony Coogan and the Vern join the show to share the ups and downs of recent cinema encounters. If you are looking for a "Hit Man" or want a date with "Maxxxine", this is the place to be this week. So have some "Robot Dreams" while you are working the "Night Shift", a "Young Woman...

The first of at least three and maybe four films covering the expansion of the U.S. into the west, is the subject of our show this week. Actor/Writer/Director Kevin Costner has an ambitious story to tell and a huge canvas to paint it on. It may be a financial gamble but the three people on this week's episode don't think it is anything less than an artistic triumph. If you have heard differently,...

This week we have three characters talking about three characters. Howard Casner and James Wilson mount up on their hogs to join Richard as we take a trek into the past with Jeff Nichol's "The Bikeriders". Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer and Austin Butler portray the three main characters in the story and we have some fun with their accents. The screenplay comes in for some tough scrutiny and the question...

Lots of emotions on this  show, most of which did not get a character in the movie. "Surprise" should have been here from the beginning, "Frustration" was shadowing Nicole as she got locked out of the film not once but twice. "Confusion showed up when Damien joined the show an hour in, and "Disappointment" hovered around Rachel and Richard, despite the fact they generally liked the movie. Join us...

Hello everyone and welcome to the Lambcast. This week we are going back in time, 26 years to the decade of the 1990s.  In 1998 the Euro was created as a currency for Europe. President Clinton is caught with his pants down and lies about it. 76 Million people watch the last episode of Seinfeld Frank Sinatra Dies and Viagra is approved by the FDA Titanic wins a bunch of Academy Awards as the Best fi...

The "senior" staff at the Lambcast check out the new entry in the Mad Max Cycle (Motorcycle that is) of films. It takes two actresses to replace Charlize Theron, so the movie has some pretty distinct sections. We talk structure, action sequences and story and we get side tracked a couple of times on tech issues, but it's all very educational. The exit question of the week involves car stunts, mayb...

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and thanks for joining us here on “Counting Sheep” with Richard Kirkham. Tonight’s Show is brought to you by the Lambcast. The Lambcast, where Movie Lovers come to talk, also by The Lamb, The King of Movie WEB Sites. On Tonight’s show Richard’s Special Guests are Comedian And Water Diviner Jason Soto,  author/exorcist Lisa Leaheey, Escapologist and Tarot Card Read...

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don’t give a hoot. Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho. This week the crew of the pirate ship "Lambcast" plunders the internet for movie content that is hard to find, off the beaten path, or just ignored by too many sailors. You will discover easy to locate movies where X...

Summer Season starts early in the movie industry. This week the Lambcast takes a look at the studios first pitch, "The Fall Guy".  Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are the stars of this romantic comedy that is disguised as an action mystery film. We have two opinions that are polar opposites and two in the middle that admire some aspects of the film, but find that it falls short on occasion. We talk a...

After a tight vote the rebooted "Planet of the Apes" Franchise was chosen for the April MOTM. Charlton Heston will not be making an appearance, at least not as a featured player in today's podcast. Roddy McDowell will not be trying on a leisure suit or leading a revolution of house pets in any of the films we talk about today. The star of these movies is clearly Andy Serkis, who plays the ape Caes...

The show goes on without the regular host, but with reliable guest host Howard Casner, herding the Lambs through a discussion of 1967, in films and the industry. Aaron Neuwirth, David Brook and Todd Liebenow share a lot of movies that came out in 1967, few of which would have been coming to your mind when you first heard the year to be covered. Drive-In fare, Spaghetti Westerns, and French films f...

This week on the LAMBcast, we take on that pebble in the shoe, the itch we can't reach, the sigh of frustration heard in line, the spoiler. You are being warned, this episode is out to deliberately spoil some films, complain about the spoiling of others and generally let film fans vent. We all love movies with a twist that works, and we share a few of those, so be careful. James Wilson from "Blogg...

This week, the Lambcast tries trapping a new movie in our containment vault, the fifth film in the Ghostbusters Franchise (although some acknowledge only 4), "Frozen Empire". The new cast of Ghostbusters from "Afterlife" return to NYC and take up the family business. The Legacy Cast shows up in a variety of spots to check all the boxes, and having insured a PG-13 rating, we get a Supernatural Adve...

Well it happened again, The Vern won the Movie of the Month Poll and we got a film that is likely to be divisive. Exactly the way Vern wants it. "The Neon Demon" is a 2016 film from "Drive" director Nicolas Winding Refn. It may be a cautionary tale about the fashion industry, it may be a horror film, or it may simply be repulsive. Matthew Simpson, James Wilson and The Vern have very different view...

Like it's predecessor, Dune Part 2 was delayed from it's original release date, but only seemed to gain in interest as it moved further away. It has arrived and Nicole Ayers, Matthew Simpson, Nick Rehak and Thomas Stoneham Judge are all anxious to share their thoughts. Find an appropriate theater, lookback on previous Dune projects, and get ready for some enthusiasm from this week's guests. Most o...

Martin Scorsese’s Dark Comedy from 1983 was selected by the community after a close contest with the Cohen Brothers movie on the list. We talk Blindspots, performances, social implications and DeNiro, a lot. Todd Liebenow, Matthew Simpson and Nick Rehak have lots to say about this Scorsese flop that as acquired a patina of respect over the years. We also play a fast game of Lambpardy and discuss D...

Everyone was asked to bring 5 films to talk about today. How they chose them was completely up to the guest. Heather Baxendale Walsh dives into her Nostalgia Bucket, Will Slater goes for Neo Noir, Nicole Ayers likes Nostalgia in Genres, and David Brook has a rag tag collection of, well stuff. Richard uses his Laserdisc Collection once more to filter his choices. We only had two films overlap, and...

Matthew Vaughn's newest spy franchise comes under scrutiny this week on the LAMBcast. Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Samuel L. Jackson, Catherine O'Hara, Bryan Cranston, and a host of others, what could go wrong? Surprisingly, quite a bit, although the film also had it's defenders on the show this week. Lisa Leaheey, Howard Casner, James Wilson and Amanda Kirkham take on espionag...

The Popular Format is back for this week's episode as we welcome back, Will Slater, Nick Rehak, Nicole Ayers and Howard Casner to check in on what has been drawing their eyeballs recently. There are some obscure gems on the show but also well loved blockbusters and classics. We start off with a little Academy Award talk over perceived slights and then we finish up with an exit question, befitting...
