There were only three films submitted for the May MOTM, but all of them received some support. One of them however, was the clear favorite of the LAMB community and received well over half the votes cast. This month we get a MOTM winner that may actually still be playing in some theaters,  “Late Night With the Devil” Congratulations to Jason Soto of “Rabbit Hole Podcasts”, for guiding this film to the winner’s circle. Jason will get to guest host the show this coming week. [Yes we had a quick turnaround on this month’s MOTM]. Be sure and come by to listen when this episode of the podcast ..read more

This week, the Lambcast takes to the seas in search of treasures that may be lost or at least unknown to our community. We hoist the skull and crossbones in the hopes that we locate movies that deserve some attention but have been hidden for a variety of reasons.  Second Mate Nicole Ayers is ready to keel haul the makers of Mizuko for choosing a distribution system that basically buried the movie under in impenetrable Vimeo wall. Digging on Criterion will get better results. She did recommend an Academy Award winning Live Action short, and a movie from this year that maybe isn’t a treasu ..read more

The Summer Season starts with a Romantic Comedy, masquerading as an action adventure mystery. There is a lot of action, not much mystery but at the heart of it all is a sweet love story set in the world of movie making. “The Fall Guy” may be a meta movie about movies, a summer popcorn flick, or a two hour argument for the Motion Picture Academy to finally give recognition to the stunt work in the films. Regardless of which perspective you take, you will hear it covered on this week’s episode. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have great on-screen charisma, but is that enough to make the movie wor ..read more

We need a quick turnaround on the MOTM Poll. Fortunately, there are only three submissions so your vote is unlikely to be diluted by the short voting window. Howard Casner of “Pop Art” has submitted The American Astronaut a Musical/Comedy/Sci Fi from 2001. Jason Soto, from “Rabbit Hole Podcasts” suggests Late Night with the Devil, a very fresh horror film from this year. And Finally, James Wilson of “Blogging By Cinema Light” endorses Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, from the year many consider America’s finest film year 1939. You have until May14 to get your votes in ..read more

Nine Movies seemed a little overwhelming for a single episode, so Matthew Simpson, of the “Awesome Friday Podcast” suggested that the three reboot films be the subject of our April MOTM Franchise show. The choice came after a tight race between three franchises, separated by a single vote each. Matthew hosts Nicole Ayers from MadLabPost and runner up Sean Homrig, from the Cabot Cove ConFab, in a discussion of the three modern Planet of the Apes films, soon to be joined by a fourth next week.    We share our personal journey into the world of the Apes, and explore the connection betw ..read more

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, who for a fourth year will have to wait for her Final Destination ..read more

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 a character you may not have known was in the film. That is the whole point this week. Howard Casner of “Pop Art” reveals that he has a secret crush on Marle ..read more

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? The voting period will end April 15, so get your votes in now. There will be no lost box of ballots discovered in somebody’s cache after that date. Matthew Simpson from the Aw ..read more

There are now five films in the “Ghostbusters” Franchise (that is if you count the 2016 film which is widely dismissed by fans) and the newest one hit theaters this last week. The new cast from “Ghostbusters Afterlife” have moved back to New York City and they have taken up the family business, but not without some complications.  This week our cast of Lambs does some busting of their own, questioning whether the focus of the franchise has shifted and calling into question the consistency of even the legacy characters. We find plenty to be disappointed in, but it turns out that we are al ..read more

The Vern’s choice for Movie of the Month was the winner for March, and he hosted the show on 2016’s “The Neon Demon”. Those of you longtime listeners of the Lambcast know that The Vern enjoys a divisive movie conversation, and that’s exactly what we got with this week’s show. Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast, and James Wilson from Blogging by Cinema Light, joined us for an examination of “Drive” Director Nicolas Winding Refn’s last theatrical film. This slow burn, art-house horror film is beloved by the champion, but there were plenty of dissenting opinions on the show. Is it ..read more
