FYI: I started a dedicated Facebook page for the LAMBcast. I’ll still post something here when a new episode is released, but if you’re looking for a central place for commentary, suggestions, complaints, etc., go here (and LIKE it!).

They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Well, we’ll see about that.

Coming at you twice a day until the winner of the Best Blog award is unveiled Friday, June 18th, it’s time for the 2010 LAMMY Awards gala!

Best New LAMB
I can’t say that it was my intention all along, but as it turns out, I saved the tightest race of them all for the pre-Best Blog award. This was madness!!

2nd place (tie): Anomalous Material (16 votes)

2nd place (tie): Cut the Crap Movie Reviews (16 votes)

2nd place (tie): M. Carter @ the Movies (16 votes)

And the winner, with 17 votes is…

The Movie Encyclopedia

Congratulations! LAMMY Banners will be emailed to the winners and runner-ups after all the awards have been presented.

UPDATE: All appears to be in working order now.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The glitz and glamour of the LAMMYs have made their way to the LAMBcast. That’s right - the main post and voting instructions will arrive shortly, but this is the spot if you want to be amongst the first to hear the nominations for the 2010 LAMMY Awards.

I was joined by a rogue’s gallery of awards commentators (specifically, Rachel Thuro, Nick Jobe and Travis McCollum) as we spelled out the 15 categories, the nominees, and where applicable, gave a shout out to the winners of years past. Along the way, a few extended discussions (e.g. What does it mean to be a Horror/Sci-Fi Blog, and is a specific award relevant for them?) and at the end, our usual games of Last LAMB Standing and some Trailer Talk.

As usual, the music, as provided royalty-free by Kevin MacLeod’s Incompetech website, is the bomb. Big thanks to Kevin for providing this service.

You can find us on iTunes; just go to the Podcasts section and search for “LAMBcast.” And hey - while you’re on iTunes, why don’t you go ahead and either rate the LAMBcast or write a review of it. Better yet, do both! It’ll help us get noticed by the overlords at Apple and earn worldwide fame…or something like that.

“Do you have a MILF?”

Just in time for Mother’s Day (or Mum’s Day), the LAMBcasters (hey you, become one - see below) set out to talk out some of our favorite movie moms - the good, the bad, and the ugly (and yes, the MILFs).

We had a full house of participants, too. On board were Rachel Thuro, Travis McCollum, Nick Jobe, Tom Clift, and me as your humble host. The feature discussion was followed up with a couple games of Last LAMB Standing and a lively Trailer Talk.

With no major releases out the week of recording, the LAMBcast took a left turn, topically speaking, and this time consisted of a trip down short-term memory lane. The four LAMBcasters on board (host Dylan Fields, along with Rachel Thuro, Travis McCollum, and Nick Jobe) each recounted their myriad recent viewings (Peacock, anyone?), theatrically and otherwise, for what turned out to be a lively discussion, so much so that we had to skip out on Trailer Talk, though we still managed time for a couple games of Last LAMB Standing. (Note: DVDs shown in image are not a reflection of the films discussed.)

After a few weeks off, the LAMBcast has returned, with an enthusiastic discussion of the lone film that’s been worthy of being enthusiastic about to hit theaters in recent weeks, Kick-Ass. Ob board was host Nick Jobe, along with Mike Mendez and Mr. Last LAMB Standing himself, Travis McCollum. Listen up as the gents dissect the Matthew Vaughn flick, briefly discuss some trailers, including the revolting Human Centipede (which Travis has had the misfortune of already seeing), as well as not one or two but three games of Last LAMB Standing.

Hey you! Send me an FYC image and I will put it up! I don’t care if I get one from 50 sites, I’ll find a way to get them all up, and as soon as possible (the nomination voting period only lasts until May 12th!). When you’re ready to vote, do it here: http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/482056

Judging from early returns, this looks to be quite possibly the best LAMMYs yet. We’ve got 15 ballots in already, I’m seeing LAMMY posts here and there across the netiverse, getting questions on Twitter (@blogcabins), and have received a total of 17 19 (just got two more in the last five minutes) FYC ads already. And we’re barely more than 24 hours from the start date. You guys and gals rock! My only worry now is that I’ll be posting like a mad man trying to get all of the FYCs up before May 12th (to go along with new LAMBs and other regular features here) - looks to be a busy time at the LAMB.

FYC #2 is from Trailer Talk Thursday host Travis’ site, LAMB #388, The Movie Encyclopedia.

We take a detour from our normal single topic episode to discuss three tidbits of movie news/controversies, going from the Twilight saga to Tim Burton to Repo Men. On hand are host Dylan Fields, as well as Nick Jobe, Mike Mendez and Travis McCollum. That’s followed up by a couple games of Last LAMB Standing and some Trailer Talk.
