This episode features the first credits of acting talent and why they managed to break through. Howard Casner and Aaron Neuwirth bring several important examples of career launching performances to talk about. You will recognize most of them, but then we end up chatting about a few first roles that are more obscure. Just like the premise, this is a first time appearance of this format, what do you think. The exit question draws some self analysis from the guests as well, you might want to attempt an answer yourself. </p> Episode 294: Forgotten Filmcat Ep 293: The Little Giant https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2026-04-13T16_13_05-07_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:fee6d66f-a979-3357-5d77-6e3454ae2089 Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we journey back to the pre-code era for 1933's The Little Giant, starring Edward G Robinson. Matthew Simpson from Awesome Friday joins us to discuss this film that looks like a 30's crime film, but actually turns in to a romantic comedy. We've also got some movie recommendations and a trivia game inspired by other "little" movies.</p> Episode 293: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 292: Without Warning https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2026-04-05T19_08_04-07_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:02f2a4e6-6640-18d6-9fac-240d7b7c863b Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode of the Forgotten Filmcast, Jack Palance and Matin Landau battle a nasty alien in the 1980 film Without Warning. An odd cast of famous faces is along for the ride, including Neville Brand, Cameron Mitchell, Darby Hinton, Larry Storch, David Caruso, and even the Predator himself, Kevin Peter Hall. Lee Grice from the Never Seen Podcast is our guest as we discuss the film, offer recommendations, and enjoy a round of trivia. </p> Episode 170: Red Dawn https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/explodinghelicopter/episodes/2026-03-31T21_00_00-07_00 Exploding Helicopter urn:uuid:54ae52d7-434d-f5ad-6b9b-509a62652581 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>“And grab some toilet paper – I ain’t gonna use no leaves”<br><br>On this episode of Exploding Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft we look at a film heralded as one of the most right-wing movies ever made, RED DAWN (1984).<br><br>After the Soviet Union and their allies invade the good ol’ USA, it is up to a ragtag collection of teenagers to kick some Commie arse. We marvel at Lea Thompson’s guerrilla chic, Harry Dean Stanton’s guide to good parenting, and – of course – the exploding vertical take-off and landing aircraft action.<br><br>Joining me behind enemy lines on this show is the DTV Connoisseur himself, Matt Poirier. <br><br>Episode 170.<br><br></p> Episode 819: Lambcast #807 Roll Your Own Top 5 Match 2026 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2026-03-31T09_35_03-07_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:b8e4d461-c404-0492-2e13-7755191a819d Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>It's true it has only been a month since the last "roll Your Own" Episode, but it is such a fun format and we have a completely new set of guests, so you won't be bored by repetition. Nicole Ayers, Dave Anderson, Jeffrey Lyles and David Brook all have new and creative top five lists to share with you, and the exit question of the week will definitely encourage you to seek out the illustrated podcast on YouTube. It is a long episode but it will not feel that way once you start listening.</p> Episode 818: Lambcast #806 Project Hail Mary https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2026-03-23T13_07_57-07_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:a8e8680f-7b60-e6d0-299c-7ac3736cb200 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>A deep friendship between scientist and High School teacher Ryland Grace and an alien resembling a smaller version of Galaxy Quest's rock monster, brings together friends from the LAMB to sing it's praises. "Project Hail Mary" based on a novel from the same author as "The Martian", Andy Weir, postulates a natural element as the source of Earth's demise, as well as significant parts of the universe. Ryan Gosling goes to space to look for solutions, and although it looks like he might be alone, the universe has other plans. Rabid readers Lisa Leaheey and Heather Baxendale-Walsh join Howard Casner and Tony Cogan for a lively cheer squad discussion of the film. </p> Episode 292: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 291: The Rainbow Boys https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2026-03-20T21_11_25-07_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:3e49bb5e-3020-c0ac-3f2b-751c8b030489 Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode, Jon Cross from The PM Entertainment Podcast returns for his second visit to the show, and his second film starring Donald Pleasance as a crazy old coot looking for treasure. This time we go to the year 1973 for The Rainbow Boys. In addition to our main discussion, we have take a brief sidetrack to discuss the allure of one Jim Belushi, and, of course, have our usual movie recommendations and trivia challenge.</p> Episode 817: Lambcast #805 The Good The Bad The Weird MOTM March 2026 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2026-03-17T10_55_33-07_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:9bf69e5e-1aea-1318-45a9-f17894c072de Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>The LAMB community chose the least Western western for this month's selection as MOTM. Not a spaghetti western but a kimchi western, from Korea, set in Manchuria, in the 1930s. "The Good The Bad The Weird" is a takeoff on the Sergio Leone film in many ways, but it is also vastly different. Howard Casner championed the film and hosts the discussion and he and Richard are joined by Matthew Simpson, for one wild ride across the far east, in western garb to talk about it. If you like Sergio Leone, Indiana Jones, Sam Rami and a lot of madcap action, then this film and the discussion are for you. </p> Episode 116: Our picks for the 2026 OSCARS https://acrosstheuniversepodcast.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/episode-116-our-picks-for-the-2026-oscars/ Across the Universe urn:uuid:9128b5f9-25bb-22b5-0504-37b6cf0bfe89 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 15:52:33 +0000 Hollywood&#8217;s biggest night is almost here, so we chicks did what we do best: obsess over the main categories, make our picks, and bet on who will take home the prize. It&#8217;s our 2026 Academy Awards breakdown. This year&#8217;s race has one undeniable gravitational pull: Ryan Coogler&#8217;s Sinners, which shattered the all-time nominations record with<a class="more-link" href="https://acrosstheuniversepodcast.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/episode-116-our-picks-for-the-2026-oscars/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">"Episode 116: Our picks for the 2026&#160;OSCARS"</span></a> Episode 816: Lambcast #804 The Bride https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2026-03-10T09_41_48-07_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:f52f7f03-64da-6dba-280d-2bbb9aa9521d Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>One of the most contentious movies of the year, and the biggest flop so far, "The Bride" from writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal provoked a wide rage of opinions on this week's show.  We had lovers and haters and some who admired it's attempts but also mocked it's execution. Current Academy Award favorite Jessie Buckley will not be in contention in next year's race, at least not for this film where her performance is directed to a high pitched scream way to often. Is this a visionary reimaging of the Frankenstein story or the worst movie you will see for a long time? The Vern, Amanda Kirkham, Rachel Wagner and Howard Casner are all over the place in their opinions of the film, which is fitting because the film itself is also all over the place. It that a good thing? Come decide for yourself.</p> Episode 291: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 290: Youngblood https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2026-03-05T19_36_30-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:94b40889-a650-3dd8-82a1-c8e081d9e11e Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we return once again to the year 1978 to take a look at the inner-city drama Youngblood staring Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs. Sorry, to those who were expecting the Rob Lowe/Patrick Swayze hockey flick. Aaron Neuwirth from Out Now with Aaron and Abe joins us for our discussion. We go deep on the film, discussing whether it fits in the 70's blaxploitation category, or is it more of a precursor to the urban dramas of the 90's. We also test Aaron's film knowledge with a round of movie trivia, and close out with some movie recommendations.</p> Episode 815: Lambcast #803 Scream 7 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2026-03-02T14_57_22-08_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:33df2662-6407-274f-4367-61d8df027cd7 Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>The long running "Scream" franchise shows up for a seventh iteration and the LAMB is there to talk about it. How does it measure up to the earlier episodes, are the new characters interesting enough to keep track of, wait, the killer is...you are kidding me?  Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox return to the series, and they bring some legacy characters to the show in a way that may frighten you more than anything going on on screen. Horror veterans Lisa Leaheey, Amanda Kirkham and Richard are joined by fright film dilettante Nicole Ayers for a slice of Hollywood mining operations. The opinions will surprise you more than the killer reveal. </p> Episode 169: White House Down https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/explodinghelicopter/episodes/2026-02-28T21_00_00-08_00 Exploding Helicopter urn:uuid:c73278dd-b3cf-596a-3995-c0a0987e50bb Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>“It’s a gift certificate for a massage.”<br><br>2013 was a banner year for actions films set in the White House with not, one, but TWO movies where a lowly federal functionary must save the President from terrorists.<br>Having already reviewed Olympus Has Fallen, we’re turning our attentions to Roland Emmerich’s WHITE HOUSE DOWN (2013).<br><br>Joining me in the podcast equivalent of the Oval Office is Matt Poirier from the DTV Connoisseur. We discuss fictional presidents as action movie heroes, a candidate for the most irritating child actor ever seen on screen, and, of course, all the exploding helicopter action.<br><br>Episode 169. </p> Episode 290: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 289: The Brink's Job https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2026-02-27T16_24_53-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:321b5777-f864-ce22-9cce-75ef0c928eb9 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week’s episode, we travel back to 1978 for a caper comedy from director William Friedkin.

We also have a lively round of trivia and our latest film recommendations.<br><br></p> Episode 814: Lambcast #802 Top 5 Roll Your Own https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2026-02-24T09_35_27-08_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:db14f3bd-5453-b0d2-4e34-8930764430e9 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>We invited some LAMBs to create Top Five Lists for the week to share with you. We got two old school LAMBs to join the show, along with two old LAMBs and we imported one from Great Britain as well. You are going to hear about Film Festivals, Character Actors, Anthology films and comedies. Oh yeah, we also get some risqué talk about male appendages that  show up in movies when they are least expected. Howard Casner, Nick Jobe, Tony Cogan, and Jason Soto are our guests, do you have any doubt about who found five wangs to talk about? The biggest dick on the show is not named Richard. </p> Episode 289: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 288: Prince Valiant https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2026-02-19T16_14_40-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:4b1e89e3-eef2-f140-e1f3-d2ab33a17c01 Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we take a look at a film based on a long-running comic strip. Get ready for knights, maidens, vikings, an evil sorceress, and more in 1997's Prince Valiant. Bubbawheat from Flight, Tights, and Movie Nights joins us for our discussion.

Dave Anderson of the Free Kittens Movie Guide championed the film and hosts the discussion. Pop Art's Howard Casner and Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast also step up to cover a dozen or more issues related to this film. In addition to the attention that the two stars of the movie receive, the LAMBs on this week's show go deep to talk about some other cast members as well.  We guarantee that you will smile more than a turnip while listening or watching the show this week. </p> Episode 115: Favourite Romantic Horror Films https://acrosstheuniversepodcast.wordpress.com/2026/02/13/episode-115-favourite-romantic-horror-films/ Across the Universe urn:uuid:e93f5b65-b5f1-7382-0a5d-184fa1d337b7 Fri, 13 Feb 2026 15:00:20 +0000 &#8220;The horror was for love.&#8220;- Crimson Peak (2015) This Valentine&#8217;s Day the chicks bring you a very special episode with a particular kind of romantic films- the scary kind.

Besides, we have new LAMBs and a hundred or more Sports movies to choose from since then, so we are just going to do it again. We celebrate 800 episodes of the Lambcast this week, and in the ten years that Richard has joined the podcast, he managed to be on more than half the episodes now. So remember that when you post your votes on the LAMB site for the slate of films you want to see win. Matt Poirier, Todd Liebenow, Dave Anderson, Justin Gott and 4 time Poll winner Aaron Neuwirth, join the show for a rousing draft competition of sports movies that somehow manages to skip, Rudy, The Karate Kid, and Hoosiers. </p> Episode 114: Heated Rivalry https://acrosstheuniversepodcast.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/episode-114-heated-rivalry/ Across the Universe urn:uuid:b711d900-2cf1-b289-6499-ab730a5efc91 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 17:10:42 +0000 After a year-long break from podcasting, we wondered if the chicks with accents would ever reunite to discuss movies again. But if there&#8217;s anything that could make us come out of hiding, is a mega-hyped, well-executed, steamy romance. Enter Heated Rivalry.

This is a chance to talk about Oscar bait films, Holiday Blockbusters, and off the beaten path films that were overlooked on the show in the last quarter of 2025. Todd Liebenow, Howard Casner, David Brook and MovieRob join the cast to talk about what they have seen but we haven't talked about yet. It's a great time to catch up. </p> Episode 166: Santa's Slay https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/explodinghelicopter/episodes/2025-12-24T21_00_00-08_00 Exploding Helicopter urn:uuid:9ae8a964-18e9-de4b-eef9-02588fd908c0 Thu, 25 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>“Thank you for not making us poor – or Samoan.”<br><br>On this brand new episode of Exploding Sleigh we take a look at a festive-themed entry in the combustible snow sled genre, SANTA’S SLAY (2005).<br><br>In this twisted holiday tale, Santa is the not the portly present giver we’re all familiar with, but a demonic entity out on a murderous killing spree. But does this horror comedy deliver top quality laughs and the chills, and – more importantly – does it give us the sleigh combustion thrills we want? <br><br>Episode 166.<br><br></p> Episode 284: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 283: Prison https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2025-12-24T05_17_57-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:cd57b366-390e-caba-653f-6fa11d0db32d Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we check out an early effort from director Renny Harlin. Get ready for 1987's Prison. It stars Lane Smith and Viggo Mortensen in an early role. Of course, if we're going to talk about a Renny Harlin film, our guest has to be the host of Deep Blue Sea the Podcast Jay Cluitt! We also have our usual movie recommendations, and our trivia game...which includes a surprise from our guest, who has apparently been keeping score all year.</p> Episode 806: Lambcast #794 "Hamnet" https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2025-12-17T10_42_02-08_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:6a588b7b-dffd-8b85-42b9-90dfacc5da11 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>There was early interest in "Hamnet" from the LAMB community when the schedule first went out, but two guests had to drop out of the show a day before recording and an SOS went out for replacements. Fortunately the call was answered and Rachel Wagner of "Rachel's Reviews" came in and did the work of two to make the show more complete. Of course returning LAMB Latoya Austin from "Frangalis27Tales", was just as invested in talking about this highly praised fictionalization of the circumstances in Shakespeare's life which led to the greatest play in history.  There are a few rabbit holes that we go down as we talk about the film, but rest assured, the amazing Jessie Buckley comes in for a deserved amount of praise for her starring turn as the Bard's largely unknown spouse. If you are up for a thoughtful discussion of Shakespeare, history, and movie production, you will want to listen or watch this episode.  </p> Episode 283: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 282: Bingo https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2025-12-12T18_16_35-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:31df4a45-6e74-c367-340e-978631e306e5 Sat, 13 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we look at yet another film from director Matthew Robbins. In the past we've done The Legend of Billie Jean and Corvette Summer, but this time we look at his attempt at doing a dog meets boy story...1991's Bingo. Jason Soto from Rabbit Hole Podcasts joins us for our main discussion. Of course, we also have our usual trivia game and movie recommendations to round out the episode.</p> Episode 805: Lambcast #793 "Santa Jaws" December MOTM https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2025-12-08T12_30_56-08_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:d52ab5ed-8f85-b5a2-9d16-82a80dccd650 Mon, 08 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>By executive action, "Santa Jaws" was chosen to be the MOTM for our December Christmas themed MOTM. The cheesy nature of the film encouraged a great number of puns, bad jokes, and alternative endings and title for a sequel. Let's face it, if you choose to watch a film called "Santa Jaws" you know what you are getting into. Our resident shark movie expert and former host of this podcast, Jay Cluitt, joins fan Jeanette Ward, skeptic Matthew Simpson, and up for almost anything Aaron Neuwirth, for a raucous hour of appreciation and derisiveness.  " Hey, this is classic global-warming. Non-indigenous species species roaming into unfamiliar territories. It happens all..."<br>"You are not listening to me! That is not a shark, that is Santa Jaws! It's Santa Jaws."</p> Episode 282: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 281: Scotland, PA https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2025-12-05T12_25_53-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:962085d5-ce60-a1f8-f33d-57572e2bbf3d Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we get a different twist on a classic Shakespeare tale. Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur joins us to discuss the 2001 take on Macbeth...Scotland, PA.

This week Howard Casner shares his thoughts about the Channing Tatum dramadey "Roofman" starring Kirsten Dunst. What is promoted as a comedy action film is really a warm hearted romantic drama, featuring excellent performances from the two leads. The film is based on an incredible true crime story of an escaped robber who hides out in a Toys r' Us for several months, while managing a romance with a local woman who is unaware of her new beau's status as a wanted man. </p> Episode 165: Godzilla: King Of The Monsters https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/explodinghelicopter/episodes/2025-11-30T21_00_00-08_00 Exploding Helicopter urn:uuid:5603362b-2b1a-2914-5d79-9eb994e3a161 Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>“Have you got a catchy name for this one?”<br><br>On this episode we look at a double helicopter homicide in GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019).<br><br>We discuss the film’s attempt to simultaneously meld a climate change allegory with a moving family drama and a kaiju movie smackdown, before enjoying a little light relief by investigating the musical career of one of the film’s stars. <br><br>Episode 165.<br><br></p> Episode 803: LAMBcast Special "Good Boy" https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2025-11-25T11_00_00-08_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:2ab763fa-4745-69fe-98b6-7bf92a0aa3d4 Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>The horror film that is told from the Dog's perspective, "Good Boy", arrives on Shudder this week. It received a short theatrical run, which Lisa Leaheey and I both had an opportunity to attend last month. Because of the holidays and personal travel, regular episodes of the Lambcast are next available in December. So, in lieu of that, here is a "Special" Edition for you featuring our favorite Rhode Island Horror fan.  </p> Episode 281: Forgotten Filmcast Ep 280: The Outfit https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2025-11-19T16_40_38-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:6e83f7a1-e58f-5387-e0fd-58a2e3c1333b Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode we journey to the year 1973 to see Robert Duvall and Joe Don Baker take on a bunch of mob goons in The Outfit. Joining us to discuss this one we have one of the biggest 70's film junkies we know, Dave Anderson from Free Kittens Movie Guide. We also test Dave's knowledge in our trivia game and throw in a few movie recommendations at the end of the show.</p> Episode 802: Lambcast #792 Cool Runnings November MOTM https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2025-11-19T12_46_11-08_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:94b12249-7617-9906-8fcd-69133ec670e7 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>Matthew Simpson from the Awesome Friday Podcast, shows why he is awesome by taking over the hosting duties for the November MOTM. The Genre for November was sports films, and a lot of votes came in, ultimately the Gold Medal went to 1993' "Cool Runnings" the Disney film about the Jamaican Bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics. His guests this week ate "The Vern" from Cinema Recall and Matt Poirier of the Direct to Video Connoisseur. You get some Disney Talk, some John Candy opinions, and an enthusiastic review of a family film. The Exit Question follow up n Olympic Dreams (or in the case of the Vern, Nightmares).

Everything here wants to kill you, including a young Yautja, seeking to prove himself to his clan. A tight action film with a science fiction background and based on a long standing IP, it will work, right? Surprise! It does. Aaron Neuwirth and Jeannette Ward are long time "Predator" fans and they will vouch for this film this week,. We get a Predator as the antagonist, a connection to a different Sci-Fi franchise, and some clever storytelling. Plus there are the usual trails that lead to unexpected destinations with the LAMBs, James Bond for instance. How can you resist?  </p> Episode 280: Forgotten Filmcat Ep 279: Josh and S.A.M. https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/forgottenfilmcast/episodes/2025-11-07T16_14_47-08_00 Forgotten Filmcast urn:uuid:e97b8019-4293-011d-a64c-daf78c0299f1 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>On this week's episode, we go on a cross-country road trip with a couple of kids in a stolen rental in 1993's Josh and S.A.M.  Hitting the road with us we have first-time-guest Mark Hobin from Fast Film Reviews. Of course, we also make a pit stop for some movie recommendations and a few rounds of trivia.

Howard has a Hitchcock film on his list, and a modern horror film that most of the LAMB community has already seen. Todd simply feels guilty about buying VHS tapes and not having yet caught up on them, although one featuring Andy Griffin is going to make him happy in watching it and sad that he has missed it for so long. Amazingly, Richard has a swashbuckler featuring Errol Flynn on his list and a film featuring his favorite actor, which embarrasses him about having skipped.

Todd shares his thoughts on four forgotten horror flicks that he's watched recently.  We have some rock and roll horror with 1988's Black Roses. Then Ally Sheedy is a psychic battling a psychic serial killer in 1990's Fear. Next we have some Canadian giant bug madness with 1987's Blue Monkey. Finally, we'll close with Brittany Murphy in a 2009 ghost story called Deadline. We also have some trivia questions and a horror movie recommendation to end the show. </p> Episode 799: Lambcast #789 Halloween Nostalgia Special https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/lambcast/episodes/2025-10-28T14_43_29-07_00 The LAMBcast urn:uuid:b37636a1-e0a5-4948-1c18-664b9ff3fcd8 Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 <p>The Lambcast got blindsided by studio schedule shuffles, so instead of engaging in Mortal Kombat this weekend, our guests took a trip down a scary memory lane. Aaron Neuwirth, Jeanette Ward, Matt Poirier and Lisa Leaheey all agreed to a shift to a Halloween feature for the show. We talk about our first horror movie experiences in theaters, at home and with a special someone. Everyone brought their own questions to the show as well.
