Singing Poorly and Rambling...

And now for something completely different...

Over the last couple of months, I have started a new podcast endeavor with fellow blogger Nick Jobe of Your Face called We Sing Poorly. It's a monthly show in which we review movie musicals... in song.  That's right! You can listen to the dulcet tones of yours truly as he reviews movies like Les Miserables and West Side Story.

Just in time for the holidays, we have released our latest episode based on The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Give a listen and let me know what you think below.

And finally, just a reminder that I am still rambling on the Rambling Ramblers Movie Podcast with Justin Gott of Man I Love Films.  Episodes are available over on our Wordpress page.  In the latest episode, we tackle Kevin Smith. Not literally, he's a big dude...

If you get a moment please leave a review on the iTunes pages for The Rambling Ramblers and We Sing Poorly. Short of donating a kidney, it is the best way to help the shows out.

As always, thanks for listening and reading.

Podcast Update (In Which I Start to Ramble)

Time for a podcasting update....

First, you all may have noticed the lack of Film Pasture podcasts.  I sadly had to give it up.  There was just too much going on between kids and work to keep up with all that went into that one.  I loved each and everyone of the episodes I did, and will miss chatting up other bloggers, but I know the show is in great hands going forward with the inimitable Lindsay from French Toast Sunday taking over the 'cast.

But I love hearing the sound of my own voice too much to hang up my headset.  And so... new podcast! Actually, we are a little over a month old now, but The Rambling Ramblers is the place to hear film news and discussion with myself and Justin from Man, I Love Films.  I feel like we are starting to hit our stride with the last couple of episodes focused on film nostalgia and trilogies. 

As you would suspect, you can find us over in iTunes as well as Podomatic.  So give a listen, follow us on Twitter, leave a review and give us any constructive criticism you may have.

Thanks!

The Film Pasture Toasts Movies

There's nothing better than watching a movie.  Nothing that is except watching that movie while enjoying your favorite adult beverage with friends.  On today's podcast, we celebrate alcohol and film.  First, we talk with Clint from Alcohollywood about the art of drinking games and mixing the perfect movie-themed cocktail.  Then, we talk with Vern from Vern's Video Vanguard about his favorite alcohol-fueled movies.

The Film Pasture can be downloaded through iTunes or Podomatic.  Please visit iTunes and give the show a review.  It really helps get the show, the LAMB and all its members noticed.

If you are interested in being a guest or have any feedback for the show, you can let us know at thefilmpasture@verizon.net or on twitter @filmpasture.

The Film Pasture: Ep. 3 - Beginnings, Endings and the Milestones in Between

We all have milestones we achieve with our blogs.  It may be getting our 100th follower or our first comment.  It may be finishing a project or a site redesign.  Sometimes, it’s even writing that first post ever, or saying goodbye to the site we’ve built over the years.

On today’s episode of The Film Pasture, we talk to a couple of bloggers about milestones they’ve recently hit.  First, we’ll talk with Nick of the Cinematic Katzenjammer about his experiences watching and reviewing one film every day for an entire year.  Then, we’ll talk with Jason Soto who recently shuttered his popular Invasion of the B-Movies blog to launch a new venture.

Please also note that this is actually the pilot episode of The Film Pasture that I recorded to demonstrate what I had in mind to the folks at the LAMB.  So even though it’s technically episode three, at the time we recorded it I thought this would be the first episode.  So don’t be shocked if you hear me referring to it as the first ep; I am not going crazy.

If you have a topic you’d like to see us cover, would like to come on the show or have some feedback to provide, you can reach me at thefilmpasture@verizon.net or on Twitter at filmpasture.

There will only be a couple of episodes left that we include in the LAMBcast podcast feed, so if you are listening to these through there, please be sure to subscribe in iTunes or Podomatic.  And, if you like what you are hearing, please give us a positive review in iTunes.  That will really help get both the show and the LAMB’s blogging network recognized.

We will be back in a couple of weeks with an in depth look at the Oscars.

Introducing The Film Pasture...

People find their motivation in some weird ways.

Two-and-a-half years ago, I started 100 Years of Movies because I felt like I was missing out on some classic films and I needed a system to get me watching them. Chronology brought me order and the blog kept me honest (it's embarrassing to go a couple weeks without posting, something I do all too frequently).

As I've gotten to know more folks from the LAMB, I now realize there are a ton of great writers out there who put my hobby to shame.  I get to visit some, but not enough.  I want to get out and visit with more LAMBs.  And what better place to meet and discuss films with them but...

The Film Pasture.

With the blessing of shepherd Joel Burman, I am launching a new podcast called The Film Pasture.  Episode 1 just went live and features a discussion with the LAMB's founder about the origins of the site and with the current shepherd about what's going on today.

In the future, I want to have all manner of discussion with my fellow bloggers and podcasters.  There will be more news here and on the LAMB and at the LAMB Forums.

For now though, feel free to give a listen to my rookie effort:
