What "Jaws" did for swimming in the ocean, the Final Destination Series tries to do to airplane flight, highway travel, amusement park rides, sporting events and bus travel. You will likely feel uncomfortable with some of the grim images generated by the film makers of this series. That's exactly why we watch them, we are lookey loos at the acciden…

Most people get stuck occasionally, trying to decide on what to have for dinner or which pair of shoes to wear, or maybe the best route to take driving to the airport. You probably go with what is easiest, carries the least amount of risk, or something you have done before. Movies are subject to the same vagaries, we become paralyzed with the choic…

This week on the LAMBcast, we travel back to 1971, not to visit the new Magic Kingdom or order a cup of coffee at the First Starbucks, but to celebrate the movies that came out in this tumultuous year. We have a full show this week, with five guests and your host, all bringing five films from 1971 to talk about. Some people have themes to their lis…

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 Champ…

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 …

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 wi…

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 Denn…

Big surprise, a divisive film gets divided opinions on this week's episode of the Lambcast. The Vern Championed the movie to the MOTM spot and he hosts the discussion. Matthew Simpson, Bubbawheat and Richard are dumfounded by the film. Newcomer to the Lambcast Cayley, agrees that the movie is incoherent, without necessarily agreeing with others who…

The Lambs who showed up this week in the film pasture, did their own programming and created Top 5 lists of their own design. From comedic serial killers to Multiple Moby Dicks, we have an eclectic selection of movies to talk about this week. Don't let the slow January release schedule slow down your movie love, come hear what we all think would be…

The start of the new year reminds us to look back on what we saw in the previous 12 months. Rishabh Vashishtha, Tony Coogan, Thomas Stoneham Judge and The Vern all gathered to share their Top Ten Films for 2024. We also have lists from Aaron Neuwirth, Mark Hofmeyer, Lisa Leaheey, and Matthew Simpson, in spite of the fact they could not be on the sh…

This week we check in on the Robert Eggers film that opened on Christmas Day to see if it sucked. "Nosferatu" is a remake of the classic Silent film, which was an unauthorized version of "Dracula". It was remade once before in 1979 by Werner Herzog, so this is the second time a controversial visualist has taken on the film. The LAMB's resident horr…

James Bond does not quite trade in his Aston Martin for a sled and eight tiny reindeer, but he does show up at Christmas time with some presents for your stockings. Following a long tradition of unconventional Christmas Selection for the December MOTM, James Wilson of "Blogging By Cinema Light" suggested, and the community voted for "On Her Majesty…

This week is a recommendation show, with a slight spin. We are looking for films to recommend for the upcoming holidays, but we want some less well known movies. So we will Skip "It's a Wonderful Life", " Christmas Vacation " , "A Christmas Story" and instead look for What can be discovered on Netflix, TCM, the Criterion Channel or Tubi? Maybe ther…

Twenty four years after being asked by Maximus "Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?", we are asking the same question about the legacy sequel "Gladiator II". Director Ridley Scott returns to the floor of the Coliseum to once again entertain us with battles, violence, political intrigue and even some retur…

OK, we did not get to this on opening weekend, but there seems to be enough interest to sustain the theatrical run for a couple of weeks. 'For The Rest Of Your Lives, There Will Be Before You Listen And There Will Be After. Lambs, Verbally Acknowledge Please.' Heretic is the A24 Psychological Horror film starring Hugh Grant, cast against type as an…

By an overwhelming vote, Josie and the Pussycats was chosen as the MOTM for November. This widely misunderstood 2001 release has acquired a much stronger reputation over the pat two decades. The satirical edge of the movie and it's meta-approach was largely ignored in the marketing of the film on it's release. Our herd of LAMBs this week however ha…

Every once in a while, the Lamb community collectively says, "Let's Get Lost". This week, we prove that "...all who wander, find some interesting stuff to talk about.". Nicole Ayers, Dave Anderson and Damien Riley join the show this week and meander all over the cinematic landscape (or as we might say "Lambscape").…

We lost a few guests on the show but we did get a set of lists that cover the year pretty well. Howard Casner as usual, wants strictly the best. Tony Coogan is up to date on all the animation films that came out in 2010, and Richard plays action junkie on this weeks show. Get ready for the wayback machine to take you to your youth, or for two peopl…

It's spooky season on the Lambcast, Halloween is coming and horror films are everywhere. We got a request a few weeks ago for a show that focuses on earlier horror films so it seemed like the right time for another draft episode. This week we have some incredibly strange creatures who stopped living and became mixed up movie bloggers. There are a f…

The October MOTM is a horror film, in recognition of Halloween and this year we have a truly frightening film, but still with a lot of humor. It comes from director Sam Rami, so that mixture will be no surprise to the deadites out there, but this film does not feature Bruce Campbell. Instead, we get Alison Lohman, being physically and mentally abus…

The polarizing dram project from Francis Ford Coppola has arrived in cinemas and thew Lambcast i9s there to talk about it. This week's episode is filled with a range of opinions, some of the guests found the movie abysmal, while others heaped high praise on it's artistry. One of the group gets yelled at for praising the film while not giving it a r…

The September Movie of the Month was chosen by James Wilson of "Blogging by Cinema Light". His choice of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" comes after three previous attempts with narrow losses. This week was no competition and James hosts the show. He is joined by Damien Riley of "Riley on Film" and also by Matthew Simpson from "The Awesome Friday Po…

Say it three times in a row quickly, and it will appear. Lambcast, Lambcast, Lambcast! This week on the show we summon the legacy sequel to the 1988 Tim Burton film, "Beetlejuice". Burton comes out of directing sabbatical to reteam with his muse Michael Keaton. They are joined by returning cast members Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara for a journe…

This week is a do it yourself show. The five Lambs have assembled individual lists of movie related subjects and we share them in a Top Five Round Robin. Thomas Stoneham Judge is TIFF bound so his list features Audience favorites over the years. Howard Casner answers the question Tubi or not Tubi. Tony Coogan is not satisfied with a movie, he wants…

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.…

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,…

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,…

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…

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 j…

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 …

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…

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…

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 …

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 …

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 Tita…

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 e…

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/exorci…

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…

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, bu…

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 mov…

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. Dri…

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…

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 …

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, …

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 f…

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. W…

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 filte…

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…

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 t…

Hello Everyone, and welcome to the dystopia that is Episode 719. I’m your Host Judge Kirkham. Every Month on the Lambcast, we have a movie put forward by a member and voted on in a poll, to be the MOTM. For January, that Movie is “Dredd”, the 2012 action dystopia featuring Karl Urban as the masked executioner of Justice. In addition to myself, we h…
