Episode 824: Lambcast #812 Mandalorian and Grogu

Episode 825: Lambcast #813 The Big Combo June MOTM Film Noir

Another guest host brings the heat to the Lambcast this week, as Matthew Simpson leads noir aficionado Howard Casner, and Physical Media Maven Dave Anderson, through a discussion of a lesser known entry in the genre.  "The Big Combo" has gained a reputation as time goes on, and the guests this week explain why. It may not be the star of the film that draws them in, but the antagonists, from top to bottom are all up to speed. Watch out for the spoiler wall because the plot is full of twists and characters who may also be twisted.

Episode 824: Lambcast #812 Mandalorian and Grogu

A new Star Wars Movie usually excites the Lambs to a bleating frenzy, but this week's episode drew only the loyalist of fans. Matthew Poirier of the "Direct to Video Connoisseur" podcast and site, takes over the hosting duties while Richard is traveling. Matt's guests are Jeanette Ward and Todd Liebenow and they have things to say. Most of those things are good, but there is some criticism along the way. Everyone sees the seams of a series seasons worth of episodes being stitched together, but there were not really any complaints about it. Matt admittedly lets some digression in the conversation slip through, but that is the kind of thing that makes a show worth listening to.

Episode 823: Lambcast #811 Mortal Kombat II

The LAMBcast is infused with Videogame enthusiasts this week, chafing at the bit to share their thoughts about the latest version of the cinematic Mortal Kombat franchise. All hands are on deck to engage in verbal Kombat with Lisa Leaheey, Matt Poirier, Aaron Neuwirth and Jeanette Ward seek their Arcana as fists, swords, razor hats and fireball fly.  If you like videogames, this conversation is right up your alley.

Episode 822: Lambcast #810 Refreshing Remakes

We have a new format for an episode, and guest hoist Aaron Neuwirth takes over the reins this week as a bunch of movie bros take on the Hollywood Remake Cycle. There are plenty of bad remakes, but this show focuses on the ones that the guests think are worth a damn. See if you agree with Aaron and his guests Matthew Simpson, Matthew Poirier and Dave Anderson. They find some remakes that you may not have realized were remakes and a few obvious ones that stand up to and even exceed the original. The Exit Question asks what film you would like to see remade, and your suggestions are welcome.

Episode 821: Lambcast #809 The Last Unicorn April MOTM

We skipped franchise MOTM tradition this April and stick to the new genre format. Animation was the choice for April and the selection of 1982's The Last Unicorn seemed to be a popular one for the guests this week. Rachel Wagner, Matthew Simpson, Tony Cogan and Bubbawheat all are struck by the look of the film, and the characters in the story. There were a few reservations about other elements of the movie, but generally you can say all the guests this week were fans of the film.
