LAMBcast #82: Roll Your Own Top 5

Average length of an episode hosted by Dylan: 58 minutes.

Average length of an episode hosted by Jason: 236 minutes.*

* All times approximate.

I kid, of course. Yes, before you get started, you should know that this is a bit of a marathon episode, clocking in at just under two hours (which I frown upon from other weekly podcasts). However, after having listening to most of it in the editing process, I can tell you that Jason and the gang - he was joined by James, Tom, Sam, and his usual podcasting partner, Nolahn - have put together a show that takes full advantage of every minute in discussing the Top 5s each of them brought to the table.

Also on tap:

* Rants of the Week
* Raves of the Week
* Last LAMB Standing

If you’re interested, you too can be a LAMBcaster - we love new blood! For more information on the LAMBcast, check out the topic at the LAMB Forums.

Thanks for listening!

PLUG: Bargain Bin Review

Friends, as a fellow LAMB, I know you’re preoccupied this time of year with a certain Major Event… An annual ceremony that people talk about and look forward to for weeks… The Super Bowl for movies, if you will.

I’m talking, of course, about THE 3RD ANNUAL BINNIE AWARDS.

Every year, the Bargain Bin Review celebrates another year of crap with such awards as “Best Giant Monstrosity,” “Best Use of hte English Language” and “Movie You Still Can’t Believe is a Real Movie.” The best part? YOU get to cast a vote — no secret “academy” of big-wigs making the decisions.

There are TWO ways you can vote:
– Go directly to the Bargain Bin Review’s 2011 Binnies page.
http://www.bargainbinreview.com/s_Binnies2011.html
– Go to the Bloggin’ Bin Revue, Official Blog of the Bargain Bin Review, for the Nomination Special hosted by none other than Mega Shark (Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus)!
http://bargainbinreview.com/blog/2011/01/27/2011-binnie-awards-nomination-special/

It’s quick and fun and easy to do. No registration required — just sweet, sweet multiple choice goodness.

BARGAIN BIN REVIEW
REACHES 100TH REVIEW
REVIEWER PLEASED, DOESN’T HAVE
BUS SCHEDULE OR SPARE CHANGE

LITTLE FALLS, NY (November 3, 2009) – During an impromptu press conference on the steps of City Hall, local movie reviewer “Nolahn” announced that his b-movie review site, the Bargain Bin Review, will publish its 100th review this Friday.

“I’m very pleased,” said the pleased movie reviewer, the Chief Reviewing Officer of “The ‘Bin,” as the site is casually known to those who have actually heard of it. “I know that for many review sites – the sort with lots of funding and free time and a staff that isn’t primarily made up of cats – reaching the 100th review is no big deal. But for The ’Bin, been two years, plugging away each week at bad movie after unspeakably bad movie, so it’s a big deal for us.”

Nolahn wouldn’t say which film would be reviewed for the 100th review, but did hint that it is a “famously bad film” that will likely “make his head hurt.” The site will celebrate the achievement with a 100th Review Spectacular that will spread over two weeks and include a culinary-themed Bin Special, the introduction of a number of new “Friends of The ’Bin” and a State of The ‘Bin Address.

“The next two weeks will feature Very Special Editions of the Bargain Bin Review,” Nolahn shouted over the sounds of jack hammering across the street, “but they won’t be the kind of Very Special Editions where we all learn an important life lesson by the top of the hour — that is my promise to you!”

Nolahn then opened up the press conference for questions. While Nolahn was asked for spare change, the arrival time of the next bus and the location of the City Treasurer’s office, no questions about the website were posed.

The Bargain Bin Review is a movie review site that has been taking on the kind of films no one else will touch since November 2007. Specifically, the site reviews the kind of obviously terrible straight-to-rental films that clog up the shelves of your local video store. Ultimately, The ‘Bin is looking for the best of the best of the worst — those films that are so monumentally bad that they circle back around to being good fun.

LAMB #380 - Bargain Bin Review

URL: http://www.bargainbinreview.com/
Site Name: Bargain Bin Review
Categories: B-movie reviews, Bad movies, Humor, Mockbusters
Rating: PG-13

What is the main focus of your site?
Since November 2007, the Bargain Bin Review has been taking on the kind of films no one else will touch. Specifically, the kind of obviously terrible straight-to-rental films that clog up the shelves of your local video store. Ultimately, The ‘Bin is looking for the best of the best of the worst — those films that are so monumentally bad that they circle back around to being good fun.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
In the short term, my goals are pretty modest: To challenge myself as a writer and to slowly grow and evolve The ‘Bin over time. I don’t see The ‘Bin going heavily into commerce in the long term, but I would like to publish a book of my reviews.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers are the students?
I’d definitely prefer an interactive community, and commonly include a poll in the review for readers to chime in to. I also run The Binnie Awards, a special poll-driven piece I do around Oscar time where I allow readers to vote for such awards as “Best Take on the Zombie Genre” and “Movie You Still Can’t Believe Is A Real Movie.”

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I launched the Bargain Bin Review in November 2007, and post a new piece every Friday.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
My three favorite movies are all way too good to be reviewed at The ‘Bin. Three of the more… memorable movies I’ve covered on The ‘Bin are The Dragon Lives Again, Sunday School Musical and My Little Pony: The Movie.

How did you hear about the LAMB?
I had an evening to myself and thought I’d spend it looking around for different ways to get the word about The ‘Bin out there. Your site was one of the first to come up, and I quickly realized that LAMB was something I wanted to be part of.

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
In addition to reviews of obviously bad, straight-to-rental movies and the occasional Bin Special (quasi-related one-off pieces), the Bargain Bin Review also has a couple of recurring features. The script is flipped in Crap Of The Titans: Instead of reviewing terrible movies no one has heard of, The ‘Bin takes on terrible movies that everyone has heard of (e.g. Catwoman, Gigli). I’ve very recently agreed to take on the B-Movie Meatloaf, a bi-monthly round-table started by the guys at Strictly Splatter. And every week, The ‘Bin features a choice site/event/Internet sensation as its Link O’ The Week.
