The voters in our last MOTM poll overwhelmingly selected Oldboy as this month’s film, and it’s not hard to see why. Chan-wook Park’s genre-spanning 2003 film shockingly was not an instant classic, but has become more than a cult icon in the eight years since its release, climbing the IMDb Top 250 (it currently sits at #97) and, more importantly, becoming more and more known as one of the quintessential Asian films of the new century.

For those unfamiliar with it, the plot synopsis from IMDb:

“An average man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, Oh Dae-Su soon finds out that his kidnapper has a greater plan for him and is set onto a path of pain and suffering in an attempt to uncover the motive of his mysterious tormentor.”

First up, the links! Thanks to all of the LAMBs that sent in their posts for this edition of the MOTM. Be sure to check out the varied opinions on this controversial film:

It’s also time to vote on next month’s movie. I’ve included many of the choices from last month, but swapped a few out to keep it interesting. You have one week to vote.

As we do every month, the LAMBcast is tied into the MOTM. We had a jam-packed show with six participants for our MOTM-theme, with Nick, Jason, Kai, Jess, Univarn and Dylan on board. Bonus: there’s a SHOCKER of an announcement given by a couple of the participants. You won’t believe it when you hear it!

On a very special episode of the LAMBcast, Nick tells Jason that he “learned it from watching him, alright!”

Naw…it’s special for an entirely different reason, but you’ll just have to listen to find out why. Kai and Dylan are also on hand, as we discuss What We’ve Been Watchin’ Lately.

Six pack! Host Dylan was joined by…deep breath…the Mad Hatter, Nick, Kai, and two noobs to the show, Steve and Stevee (don’t worry, keeping track of them was easier than you’d think) as they discussed what they’d all been watchin’ lately.

Well, as you’ve hopefully noticed, the LAMBcast has also not been around for a bit. The events I described in the birthday post have also kept me from being successful at not being a flake in these regards. As a result, we’re gonna be out of order for a couple weeks here. First up is our Halloween-themed episode (chronologically #44; #43 will be posted in a week or so, and then we’ll be back in order), where host Jason, along with James, Kai, Nick, and Dylan present you with a double-live album (read: it’s long) in which we discuss our Top Five flicks that scare the crap out of us.

Rachel, Jess, Nick, Jason and Dylan get together for some good old-fashioned LAMB chat, as in a grouping of a gaggle of LAMB old-timers. For this episode, we count down our five most anticipated flicks for the rest of 2010, and as you might expect, our tastes vary wildly (especially with that Jason guy around). Also on tap:

The usual pattern for our Whatcha Been Watchin’ Lately? episodes gets disrupted this time out, not only by the ghost inhabiting Heather’s computer, but by long discussions of each flick, resulting in just one flick discussed per podcaster. And it’s some weird shit, indeed (well, at least Jason’s). Also in on it were Dylan, Nick, and Kai. Also on tap:
