Mon, 17 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Five Podcasters
One Movie
No Exit

Stealing the tagline for this movie to promote the podcast was easy, so is the conversation we have about this 1976 Disaster/Exploitation film. Two Minute Warning came out a year before the better remembered "Black Sunday" and it features a different crazed manic trying to kill people at the American Football Championship. Dave Anderson of the Free Kittens Movie Guide championed the film to victory in the March MOTM Poll and he hosts the discussion which includes Will Slater from Exploding Helicopter, James Wilson of Blogging by Cinema Light and Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast. (As well as your regular host) Charlton Heston and John Cassavetes try to prevent a sniper from killing a whole litany of guest actors at a football game. Is it a thriller or a disaster film? Come find out who gets it.

Episode 774: Lambcast #764 Whatcha Been Watchin'?

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The LAMBs have no common theme this week, except that they have been watching things that they want to talk about. We get schooled on a couple of streaming films, a couple of current movies, and a couple of older classics. Everyone had a variety of sources for their choices, and Aaron cheated by collecting the five Academy Animated shorts into one selection (good for him). We also go a short way down the Gene Hackman path, a deeper dive will wait until another show. The exit question was hard for everyone this week, and so they tried to cheat on that as well. Nicole Ayers, Jeanette Ward and Aaron Neuwirth have been watching things that they will steer you towards, and for a couple, away from.

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Time for some friendly competition as the LAMBs on this week's show compete to create a slate of films that will get your support as the "best". Aaron Neuwirth picks some classics and some Kaijo and of course one of them features a giant lizard. Tony Cogan represents for his country with Dr. Who, Quatermass and a short film classic that everyone will recognize. Dave Anderson may grouse about his choices being stolen, but he gets a great Disney film and two fifties movies that were good enough to get terrific remakes in the 80s. Matthew Poirier slips into the draft process at the last minute and stays true to his Direct to Video roots with plenty of fun picks. Finally, Richard plugs along, picking the best film available whenever someone passes it by. From 1900 to 1967, we have thirty movies that you will want to check out, argue about and most importantly, vote for. See the poll on the LAMB site.

Episode 772: Lambcast #762 Kind Hearts and Coronets MOTM February

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

From a list of eight blind spots for the shepherd, the community went with the oldest film on the list. Perhaps as a way of mocking the age of the birthday of your host. "Kind Hearts and Coronets" is a dark comedy of manners that was release in the U.S. in 1950. Famous for Alec Guinness playing eight parts, it is a showcase for character actor Dennis Price as the star. Three of the guests this week were old hands at this serial killer comedy, David Brook, James Wilson and Howard Casner had all been slain by this before. Only Matthew Simpson joined Richard as fresh victims of this drool Ealing product that is considered one of the greatest British films of all time.
