Released in 1988, Heathers was not only a product of its time but perhaps a bit ahead of it as well.  The pitch-black comedy starred Winona Ryder (soon to hit the big time with Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) and Christian Slater (also early in his career) as a pair of young lovers intent on creating some chaos at their high school.  Although it wasn't a hit at the time, it was a unique enough vision to gain a cult following over the years, though strangely enough, it's creators ended up doing much more commercial work-for-hire jobs thereafter.  The LAMB's own The Vern Championed the film to a bravura performance at the MOTM Polls last month, and as you'll be able to tell from his words on the accompanying LAMBcast, he's quite the fan. 

But first, here's the IMDb summary for the film, for those that aren't familiar with it:

"Veronica mingles with Heather I, II and III to be as popular as them, even though she hates them. She hates them enough to wish they were dead, though she would never want to be their cause of death. When she starts dating Jason Dean, however, she finds herself involved in the murders of most of her enemies, covered up as suicides. "

Now, let's see what your fellow LAMBs had to say about it.  Thanks to all of the LAMBs that sent in their posts for this edition of the MOTM.

It's also time to vote on next month's movie. Once again, I put out the call for MOTM Champions. The gist is this: I ask for volunteers - people to select a film to be placed on the poll (up to 10 per month, as usual), then promote it on their site, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. Should their film win, they are guaranteed a spot on the LAMBcast episode where we will discuss said film. As a bonus (?), they will also get to host that segment of the show.  Also, Joel likes me to mention that if you happen to campaign for your selection on your blog, he'd be happy to put up a Plug for it on the LAMB.

This month, we had seven Champions - the sites are listed along with the films in the poll below. You have one week to vote (and promote your movies!). I'll be putting out the call for the next MOTM in a few weeks, so stay tuned.

As we do every month, the LAMBcast is tied in with the MOTM. This month, as mentioned, our Champion The Vern from The Vern's Videovanguard hosted the Heathers discussion (on his first-ever podcast, no less!) in which we talked up and down the film, covering (we hope) all of the important themes and talking points.  He were joined by LAMBcast host Dylan, as well as Fogs and Sam.

"This....is...LAMBpardy!"

Once again, Kai puts on his Alex Trebek hat (that's a beautiful visual if you know the man) to play host for our version of Jeopardy.  Back in the champ chair is Dylan, being challenged by the two head honcho (honchettes?) of French Toast Sunday, Lindsay and Jess.  Did they take his title? Listen and find out!

LAMBpardy episopdes are a semi-regular feature of the LAMBcast, so if you'd like to be a player in the future, keep an eye out over at the Forums, as demand is high and there's a max of three contestants per show (and one of them is the returning champ).

My apologies to Jessica, Tom, Steve, and Nick - they've probably almost forgotten that we even recorded this episode, it feels so long since we did it (if some of the Rants or Raves seem a bit outdated, now you know why).  Anyway, our feature discussion is one that can't grow moldy, as we each took a look back at a recent viewing that we wished to discuss.  On top of that, we present you with one of the lengthier and more spirited Rants sections that we've had in some time.  Lots of anger to be dealt with!

Time for me to eat crow.  From the onset, I wasn't such a big fan of Inglourious Basterds as a choice for the Movie of the Month - it seeming to be a too recent and too popular film for my particular MOTM tastes.  In the end, the die-hard battle between it and Citizen Kane had me more than supporting it as the eventual choice, and I couldn't have been more wrong about my preconceptions of it being chosen.  If I do say so myself, it made for an excellent MOTM, leading to a spirited LAMBcast discussion - led by Lindsay and Nick of French Toast Sunday (our MOTM Champions for the month) of the various themes, high points, low points and legacy of Quentin Tarantino's multilingual, multi-genre "masterpiece." 

As usual, I give you the IMDb summary for the film, for those few unfortunate souls that aren't familiar with it:

"In Nazi occupied France, young Jewish refugee Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the slaughter of her family by Colonel Hans Landa. Narrowly escaping with her life, she plots her revenge several years later when German war hero Fredrick Zoller takes a rapid interest in her and arranges an illustrious movie premiere at the theater she now runs. With the promise of every major Nazi officer in attendance, the event catches the attention of the "Basterds", a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine. As the relentless executioners advance and the conspiring young girl's plans are set in motion, their paths will cross for a fateful evening that will shake the very annals of history."

Obviously, The Hunger Games needs way more catchphrases, because I'd like to start off this little summary with one of them, but there's really only one, and it's way overused as it is.  So I suppose I'll just say, "I volunteer as, uh, host of the LAMBcast!"

Anyway, I was joined by Nick, Rachel and Dan as we dissected the blockbuster literary adaptation, from the casting to the effects to everything in between, with a heavy emphasis on the adapting of the novel itself, seeing as how all of us had read the book and therefore had no one to offer the non-book-read point-of view.

The title more or less says it all for episode 109, doesn't it.  Be they uncomfortable to sit through (by yourself or with others) or embarassing - whatever the reason, the films that make up the lists we came up with share the titular common trait.  Thanks to Courtney of Big Thoughts From a Small Mind for the topic idea.  Sharing their lists were Dylan, Nick, Brian, Stevee and James.

Once again, our Movie of the Month pick comes from the early 80s - specifically 1982, as discussed on the accompanying LAMBcast, a a banner year for sci-fi films the likes of which we probably won't see again.  The choice this time out is Blade Runner, the Ridley Scott-directed, Harrison Ford-starring ensemble piece that delves into some of man's largest questions: What does it mean to be human? To have a soul? And how many versions of a film is too many?

As usual, I give you the IMDb summary for the film, for those few unfortunate souls that aren't familiar with it:

"In a cyberpunk vision of the future, man has developed the technology to create replicants, human clones used to serve in the colonies outside Earth but with fixed lifespans. In Los Angeles, 2019, Deckard is a Blade Runner, a cop who specialises in terminating replicants. Originally in retirement, he is forced to re-enter the force when six replicants escape from an offworld colony to Earth. "

It was a conglomeration of shepherds (and other LAMB luminaries) as the latest LAMBcast found not only host Dylan (founder, former shepherd) but also recently resigned shepherd Rachel and the new boss man Joel on board, as well as Nick and James.  This week, we each rolled our own Top 5s in a wide range of topics, from monkeys to wanted sequels to hidden gems to dystopian films, with a bunch of boobs and penises in between.

Nick oversees one of our favorite shows to do, and as it turns out, just about everyone was on the same page (wait'll you get to the Rants section). Also on hand were Steve, Dan Heaton, Stevee (making a return to the show after some time off) and first-time LAMBcaster Jessica of The Velvet Cafe, making this the most international show we've had to date, with LAMBs from three continents present and accounted for. I look forward to the day that we have four (or more) continents represented!

Once again, we here at the LAMBcast pull out our crystal balls and attempt to predict the winners for the upcoming Oscars. Or at least some of them. Rather than cycle through all 24 categories, we cherry-picked 10 of the big ones to prognosticate, while sprinkling in our commentary on snubs (like, say...Drive?) and thoughts on the production and nomination process along the way. On hand was your host Dylan, as well as LAMBcast regulars Dan Heaton and Mike, and then we brought in the big guns, in the form of two awards season experts, David of Never Too Early Movie Predictions and Ryan of Lord of the Films.

It's also time to vote on next month's movie. This month, we introduce a new wrinkle to the selection of the next Movie of the Month - MOTM Champions. The gist is this: I ask for volunteers - people to select a film to be placed on the poll (up to 10 per month, as usual), then promote it, be that on their site, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. Should their film win, they are guaranteed a spot on the LAMBcast episode where we will discuss said film. As a bonus (?), they will also get to host that segment of the show.

This month, we had six Champions - the sites are listed along with the films in the poll below. You have one week to vote (and promote your movies!). I'll be putting out the call for the next MOTM in a few weeks, so stay tuned.

As we do every month, the LAMBcast is tied in with the MOTM. This month, we suffered through some connectivity isues with Skype, but soldiered on and, short of us mentioning the issues, I'm not sure how apparent they will be. On hand were Nick, Courtney, Fogs, Lackey and Dylan.

The LAMBcast's version of America's Favorite Game Show (or is that Wheel of Fortune? The Price is Right?) is back!

If you don't know how this works by now, I'm not sure what I can do to help you there. To recap: I return as the reigning champion, Kai returns as our own Wink Martindale (seriously, he wouldn't stop winking at me, as we were recording together from my garage), and Joel and Danny came in to try as take my title. Did they succeed? Listen and find out!

Note: due to Kai and I recording from the same space, there's a bit of an echo coming and going for much of the show. It's only mildly annoying (I hope), but I apologize nonetheless.

And yes, just so you know, LAMBpardy episopdes will be a semi-regular feature of the LAMBcast, so keep an eye out over at the Forums, as demand to be a contestant is high, and there's a max of three contestants per show (and one of them is the returning champ).

Fans of Rants and Raves of the Week, I assure you they are not going anywhere. However, with our special interview show coming at #100 and with this, our Top 10s show at #101, let's just say that they've taken a short hiatus. That was planned from the start, as this was expected to be a longish show, and it was. Dylan, Nick, Fredo, Dan Heaton and LAMBcast newbie Lindsay Street of French Toast Sunday were all on hand to count down our aforementioned lists as well as some superlatives and other general thoughts on the prior year in film.

In addition to our lists, see the bottom of this post for a listing of Top 10s from LAMBs who submitted theirs over at the LAMB Forums. Thanks!

The century mark has been reached!

For this special episode, we abandon our usual format altogether! We make stunning changes to the structure of the show! We challenge the laws of time and space! Or...I gather as many of the founding fathers of the show as possible and we have an informal interview show, catching up on our lives, blogs, and podcasts (or lack thereof). I was joined by: Nick Jobe of Random Ramblings of a Demented Doorknob, Jason Soto of Invasion of the B Movies, James Blake Ewing of Cinema Sights and Mike Mendez (aka Big Mike), formerly of Big Mike's Movie Blog. Tom Clift of Movie Reviews by Tom Clift was a hopeful to join us, but sadly, was too busy galavanting across Europe to do so. So sit back and catch up with us, and get ready for the next 100 episodes!

Minor programming note: I'm bringing back the reading of feedback on the show; if you'd like yours read, leave it in the comments section of the post on the LAMB. Thanks!
