Howard Casner takes over for the week but has a high casualty rate as three guests on the show drop out. It doesn't matter however because Heather Baxendale Walsh is the guest who shows up, and she has enough to say for five people. It also doesn't hurt that Howard and Heather have vastly different perspectives on the new Tom Cruise vehicle. This is a dialogue you will happy to eavesdrop on. 

It's Lambpardy time! We've got three more contestants battling it out for movie trivia supremacy, a couple of old hands and a first time player. Who will win? Who is Doctor Who?

Alex Garland has a new film out, and like his previous efforts there is a horror element. This time however, that element is front and center. "Men" may be a suspense film, psychological terror film, or body horror, take your pick. The question is does it deliver? We have four Lambs for part of the show and three of them make it to the end, does that sound ominous to you? Come find out if you shou...

Director Doug Liman does his best Tarantino Impression with this drug crime comedy from 1999. Ashley Ullom championed the movie so as a first time guest on the show she also got to be the host. She came through with flying colors. We had a hard out on the recording time so we skipped a game and kept the podcast short. So if you like Raves, Drug Humor, Sarah Polley, Jay Mohr, Timothy Olyphant, Scot...

This week we are back to the MCU Universe, or more accurately, Multiverse, to see what Doctor Strange has up his sleeve to deal with the most powerful being in any of the Universes. More magic shields, fling rings, incantations and finger waving than you can shake a stick at. It also so happens that there is a bit of crossover with a horror adjacent universe, thanks to Director Sam Rami. Cloe list...

This week we go back in time to the tumultuous 1960s and visit a pivotal year in the evolution of the cinema landscape. The old studio system is dying and new forms of film making are taking over. The Easy Riders and Raging Bull are on their way, and they bring International Cinema and Music Videos to crush the old paths. So become a time traveler and join us for this episode

Every so often on the Lambpardy shows we like to do something special and pit the members of a podcast against one another for movie trivia domination. The ladies from the Across the Universe podcast are the latest to battle it out amongst themselves under Jay's questioning, just like what happened on their 100th show last year, but this time there might be a few more questions about rom-coms! Who...

Jay Cluitt is back to Host the Lambcast for this Nicolas Cage Extravaganza. His posse consists of two Y chromosome challenged Lambs, the always excellent Jeanette Ward and the equally wonderful Heather Baxendale Walsh. The three of them have only love for the subject of today's show but they is do enjoy  speculating about casting and imagining who other than Nick Cage could pull this off. Jay has...

Covering a span of 90 years, this week's guests have films that range from pre-code classics to this week's releases.

The Peter Jackson Films are the subject of our annual MOTM Franchise Lookback. Heather Baxendale-Walsh assembles a new fellowship to travel through Middle earth and highlight the things that make this series essential. Because the film talk was so involved, we skip a game, Rants/Raves/Reviews, and heck, we don't take a break or give you an ad. This is all LOTR all the time. Two Hours and Twenty Mi...

After being moved on the schedule over the last two years, six times, and enduring fierce on-line hate before it saw the light of day, Sony's Marvel Film "Morbius" lands on our laps in time for a Lambcast dissection. We start off the show however, with some talk about the two biggest stories in Hollywood this week. The Slap heard round the world and the early retirement of one of our great action...

This week we travel back 18 years to find some gems from 2004 to share with you. Tyler, Todd, Howard and Richard have different enough tastes that their five lists only produced two of the Infamous Pineapple Kiosk moments. Lots of ideas for you to explore and some other discussion as well. Come on in, the movies are fine.

There's one former player and two complete Lambcast newcomers competing today, but only one can win. Who will it be? Listen to find out!  This month the co...

Francis Ford Coppola had a good year in 1974. He was nominated for Five Academy Awards that year, and he won three but none of them were for the film he has always said was his favorite of his movies, heck it wasn't even his favorite of that year, and those awards came for Godfather Part II. Coppola's most personal film and the one he thinks is his best is "The Conversation" and you won't get too...

So when the question comes up, do we need a new Batman, the five people on this show have an easy answer for you,...Yes. This is an even darker take on a film character that is getting more dense and dark as we go along. There are no Joel Schumacher moments in the Matt Reeves' "The Batman". Robert Pattinson dons the cowl and he is joined by a cast that is deep and a story that is disturbing. Our L...

Two Lambs with second sight look forward and prognosticate about the upcoming film year. Based on hope, history and not much else, Jeanette Ward Joins Richard for an intimate discussion of the movies we both look forward to and dread. Will Avatar 2 actually show up in December, is The Batman going to be great, how much will Morbius suck?  Take the plunge into the future with us, we have lots to sp...

The popularity of this series is growing, we had a lot of requests to join so the guest list was expanded so you can expect a lot of Pineapple Kiosk because there was a great deal of overlap. Even with that overlap we had nearly two dozen movies to talk about. So get in your "Wayback" machines and join us for a lively trip to the decade of the 90s, where we landed right in the middle.

This month the contestants are: Amanda Kirkham - Hollywood Consumer , Catching Up TV Podcast Richard Kirkham - The Lambcast , Kirkham A Movie A Day , The Strother Martin Film Project , Catching Up...

An incredible cast gets discussed by an incredible cast. This week, the MOTM show, a Birthday gift for Richard and a new film for three of the guests. It's a Western, but not in a style you are likely to have seen before. The Quick and the Dead features a bucket load of character actors and everybody pretty much gets a death scene. Our show cast indulges in Hackman Love, Silvestri Admiration, and...

Forget the T.S. Eliot poem that suggests the world ends with a whimper, Roland Emmerich insists that it ends with a "BANG!" and he has made more than a half dozen movies to prove it. This week on the Lambcast, the guests review the newest of his disaster films "Moonfall". We also lookback at a long string of Emmerich films, most of which are variations on some kind of disaster. What can you expect...
