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. Drive-In fare, Spaghetti Westerns, and French films fill the episode. So maybe "The Graduate" didn't make anyone's list, there are still a couple you will recognize, and a bunch you will now want to see.  Surprisingly, Richard gets some films on the list even with being absent.

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 of those, so be careful. James Wilson from "Blogging by Cinema Light", Howard Casner from "Pop Art", and MovieRob, from his own site and podcasts join the show with thoughts about movie spoilers.

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 insured a PG-13 rating, we get a Supernatural Adventure film, which may be straying a bit from the roots of the franchise. Does it work, should you spend your money to see it, will you laugh? You will just have to listen to Matt Hudson, Lisa Leaheey and Todd Liebenow to find out.

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, James Wilson and The Vern have very different views of the film. Whether or not you want to hang a single frame from the film on your wall as art, will depend first on whether you can stomach some of the ideas and scenes in the movie. Beauty isn't everything. It's the only thing. Are you high?

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 for some enthusiasm from this week's guests. Most of us are already hankering for another trip to Arrakis.

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. We also play a fast game of Lambpardy and discuss DeNiro and Scorsese apart from one another.

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 filter his choices. We only had two films overlap, and a quick substitution allowed a replacement, so there are 24 different movies on this weeks show. If you are a fan of animated movies, you will want to hear Will's choice on the exit question of the week.

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, James Wilson and Amanda Kirkham take on espionage, plot twists, wonky CGI and assorted other issues in this week's episode.

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 then we finish up with an exit question, befitting the format of the show. How can you resist? You have to be watching something so here are some things you can consider.

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 have three other Jurists on the show today, to dispense sentences on the perpetrators of this film. Listen and be Judged. Also, Sequels that we really wanted to see.

The frigid weather seems to have kept most of the sheep in their mangers this week, but Todd Liebenow came out to the pasture to play with us. So we end up with two guys over Fifty, talking about a movie that is targeted to Girls under 20. Not to worry, also opening this week was a film targeting Guys and probably even older audiences, so it all balances out. "Mean Girls 2024" gets its musical bona fides checked and Jason Statham continues to cut through bad guys like John Wick looking for a new dog. A brief show this week, but fun to listen to.

Between the guests on the show this week, there were 37 different films that made our Top Ten Lists. The number goes up even higher when you add in the lists submitted to the show by those that could not be with us live.  There is a wide range of opinions on some of the films, in fact if we were doing a 10 worst list, some films from this show would overlap. The Lambs are nothing if not diverse when it comes to their opinions. The show this week is epic, with guests Tony Coogan, Latoya Austin, Howard Casner and Rishabh Vashishtha joining Richard for the discussion. We had lots to talk about and we talked a lot.

A bucketload of films get dumped on the silver screen in December, and we never have time to cover all of them, but we do want to try. This week, seven Lambs share the last minute gifts (and lumps of coal) that they caught up with at the close of 2023. A couple of streaming films sneak in, there is plenty of Oscar Bait, and there are several pleasant surprises. We also talk briefly about the films of the year that disappointed us. It's a loose format this week, but you will find plenty to enjoy.

The community selected this film from all the December releases, to be the new film that we cover for the month. Tony Coogan and Jay Cluitt return from 200 episodes ago, when we talked about the original "Chicken Run", but we are also joined by Rachel Wagner, back for a third week in a row and James Wilson, who is filling out the show completely. This is the sequel we have waited 23 years to hatch, was it worth all that time on the nest? Our guests will let you know what they think, as we dive into "Dawn of the Nugget" and some other stop motion films as well.

High School Pressures, The Christmas Pageant, Repressive Teachers, Unrequited Love, Dancing, Singing, Christmas and Zombies, "Anna and the Apocalypse" has it all. This week, we have your Christmas Movie of the Month and you are going to love it as much as we did. Howard Casner Championed the film and he hosts a discussion of Zombie etiquette and choreography. Rachel Wagner and the Vern join in to talk about this 2018 release that deserves a cult status that it has yet to achieve.

The Lambs flock together to share some memories of Christmas Past, Present and Future as Howard Casner leads a discussion concerning Christmas Gifts, Christmas Movies and Stocking stuffers. Are you still looking for some gift ideas, maybe this show will plant a seed that will germinate into your own Christmas memory.

The November Movie of the Month is the 2002 Sci-Fi Action film from Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise. Pre-Crime is the topic and the questions are plentiful. Bubbawheat was the champion of the film and he leads us through a discussion of the U.S. Constitution, Determinism, Free will and eye surgery. The films innovations and prescient technology is acknowledged but so are the plot holes and tech that the film makers got wrong. We get a return this week to the Rants, Raves and Reviews feature of the podcast, and everyone has plenty to promote. Listen to the podcast, and you can also watch it on YouTube if you prefer.

This week we get back to talking about new movies, and it is the time of the year that the cream begins to rise to the top. Director Alexander Payne is a two time Academy Award winning screenwriter, and a three time directing nominee, so when he shows up with a new film, it seems likely to be talked about in the awards season. "The Holdovers" features a cranky history teacher at a remote prep school who is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student who has no place to go. Nicole Ayers, Howard Casner and Rachel Wagner serve detention with Richard this week.

Through dangers untold. And hardships unnumbered. I have fought my way here to the castle; beyond the goblin city, to take back the child that you have stolen. My will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great…The gallant Lambs this week take on Nostalgia for the ages, or at least for a long ago decade. Oh, Mother Night! Fold your dark arms about me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone, an impotent exile, whilst this form, this presence, returns to torment me! Jeanette Ward, Bubbawhwet and Todd Liebenow join Richard for a fun packed show with a poll at the end for you to vote on. You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles, no rotten miracles on this show.

"What's your favorite scary movie?", As we gather at this seance to summon the films we most want to talk about, we will metaphorically join hands, close our eyes and open ourselves to the voices from the other side. Sitting at the table with their fingers on the planchette, waiting to ask their questions of the dead, and argue with the living are several LAMbs who have dug out some horror movies for you to explore. Everyone had to find films for five different subgenres, a couple of which were challenging to this week's guests.  "It's Halloween. I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare."
