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…

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 ba…

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…

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 pleasa…

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. T…

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 ch…

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 …

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" featu…

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 ab…

"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 …

Mysterious disappearances of Lambs from the Podcast, draw eerily strange comparisons to the story told in the latest work from Director Martin Scorsese. The surviving Lambs may draw suspicions as you hear their thoughts on the highly anticipated movie. Is Leo getting too old for some parts? Can DeNiro pass for 45? Where did all these incredible fac…

Despite Recounts and pleas to investigate voting irregularities, Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein is indeed the MOTM for our October Horror Film. This surprise winner was championed by James Wilson of Blogging by Cinema Light and he hosts the discussion of this Comedy/Horror classic from 1948. You get three Monsters, two comedians and five Lamb…

So in revisiting 2013, some of us might have had a theme, some may just have picked randomly but in sharing our lists there is a pattern. Round Robin with the Pineapple Kiosk Rule in place. David Brook, Todd Liebenow, and Howard Casner join the show and they have that 20/20 vision that hindsight usually provides. If ten years ago is just your ticke…

This week you don’t have to get out of your Lazy Boy, or buy a ticket to a movie. You can also skip digging out your physical media, you don’t need to dust off a VCR, or heat up a DVD player or Blu Ray, all you need to be a part of this show is an Internet Connection and a Streaming Service, you may not even need a paid subscription. That’s because…

For as long as there has been a Lambcast, there have been games played on the show. Sometimes the game is skipped because of time or some other reason, but that will not be the case on this week's show. This episode is all games all the time. There are Five intriguing and fun games that you can play along with, there is even a game in deciding the …

We have gathered five souls together to conduct a séance of our own. We are trying to reach not a person but a conclusion. Is the third Hercule Poirot film from director Kenneth Branagh a wake for a dead franchise, or a celebration and resurrection of a well loved character? Get ready to hold hands, close your eyes and listen for the tapping of typ…

This week is Movie of the Month Week for September. Jeanette Ward has championed a Sci Fi Teen Comedy to the pole position, but that may not tell you enough to guess the movie, because in 1985, within two weeks of each other, three films opened with that description. Our film is "Real Genius" which features the genius of comic performances from Val…

Howard Casner takes over on the show as Richard is traveling this week, and he welcomes in a group of Lambs with a wide variety of interests. They take you from Short Films to Capra Films and throw in a little Ray Harryhausen along the way. We welcome Daniel Chadwick-Shubat into the flock and old hands Stephen Palmer, Nicole Ayers and David Brook a…

Balloons, Fireworks, Dance Numbers and spectacular productions featuring celebrities! We have none of that this week, our 700th Episode celebration is more muted but nevertheless still interesting. A few of the hosts of the LAMBcast get together to talk about old times, Lampardy Cheating, and how the podcast has developed. We are joined by a couple…

This week we are going to Listen to Hotel California and Saturday Night Fever on the radio. When we turn on the TV we can watch Laverne and Shirley, Three’s Company and Mork and Mindy. If you want to make a bundle, bet on Leon Spinks against Muhammed Ali. You will believe a man can fly and you won’t believe that Kiss agreed to be in a movie monstro…

Flying swordsmen, deadly assassins, duel handed weapons and Chinese History, this movie has all sorts of things that should make you want to listen. The Podcast has Tony Coogan, Howard Casner and guest host Heather Baxendale-Walsh, so that should also make you want to listen. Wirework, subtitles and cinematography are on the menu for our talk this …

The Lamb Community voted for Meg 2:The Trench to be the new feature we cover in August. Was that a wise choice? Maybe not. You expected the film to be dumb fun, but were you expecting just dumb? The Lambs on this episode are bouncing around it, some might give it the benefit of the doubt, others would put it as far down in the Trench as it can go. …

It's summertime and the viewing is easy. All you need are some recommendations and a little chat to go along with your choices. This week, Four Lambs have some discussion about Double Features and Drive-In Theaters, and then we program an evening for you. Everybody is enthusiastic about their suggestions, some of us have themes, some included a who…

The biggest blockbuster opening of the year features a doll that has been with us for sixty-five years and dozens of animated movie, but is finally a live action character. How did the transition turn out artistically? That's what we discuss on this episode of the Lambcast. There is a lot of love for Barbie, the movie, but we had one curmudgeon who…

Drug dealing aliens and interstellar law enforcement officers find their way to Earth in this 1990s time killer. Mark Hofmeyer championed a movie that made him feel good after some arduous viewing for his job, let's see if you can lean into the film and get some relaxing vibes from it as well. Dolph Lundgren stars as a rule breaking rogue cop, and …
