O.K. Video Summer Ends, Fall Begins

"This is it, don't get scared now." - Kevin Mcallister

O.K. Video is going into hibernation. But before we sleep, we have one last ranking episode for you. The Summer of Change was indeed that for Ryan and I, and we are going to try to keep our creative energies going and continue to make stuff. Thank you to our loyal listeners for sticking with our tiny little show.

Both Ryan and I enjoyed all of these films, to a degree, so we are splitting some hairs in order to rank them. Hopefully we explained ourselves cogently.

We will still exist on BlueSky as OKVideo, and instagram as okvideopodcast.

Nathan is Kraznor on many gaming platforms and will continue to cast on Pixel Response with exfauxsure. And Top Down Perspective. Find those on your pod catchers.

Ryan is active on Letterboxd, you can find him there as ramcculloch.

Thanks again, and have a great life.

We're taking it to the brink with this film. Right up to precipice of adolescence. This week we're watching The Edge of Seventeen as we continue through this batch of coming of age films. Nathan and Ryan discuss, argue and recap this week's movie as they themselves are pushed to the edge(!). That's a tad dramatic but it's not easy writing these blurbs.

Here at the cast, we're watching Booksmart as we continue through our The Summer of Change batch. This one comes from a whole team of female creators and offers a fresh perspective on a familiar framework.

It's late August, and you know what that means. Time to visit the local, kinda sad amusement park. In Pittsburgh, that would be Adventureland. Greg Mottola made a movie about it, and I'm happy to report, it's still a thoughtful film about growing up a bit on the precipice of big life changes.

Run, run, run as fast as you can.

You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.

Now what does that have to do with this week's film, very little. Robert Altman writes and directs this week's film, based upon a discarded manuscript by John Grisham, The Gingerbread Man quietly released in January 1998 and doesn't get talked about much these days. So we asked, is The Gingerbread Man Criminally Unknown?

O.K. Video Criminally Unknown? 4 The Last of the Finest

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 19:19:00 -0600

Ryan and Nathan are at odds on this one. Is it a delightful rage fantasy against the Reagan administration and their scapegoating of Oliver North, or is it a Thin Blue Line-championing, tone deaf celebration of hypocrites who are far too willing to turn their weapons on their fellow officers? The Last of the Finest is the name and it features Brian Dennehy, Joe Pantoliano, Jeff Fahey and Bill Paxton as an elite unit of skull busters who find themselves alone in their crusade against a corrupt government official who is trading guns for drugs and warping the LAPD in the process.

Ireland. A land of tradition. And bombs. Hollywood takes a crack at exploring the Irish experience with broad stereotypes and crusty accents in Blown Away, a mad bomber movie with a shot of whiskey.

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 7 Jan 2025 07:45:00 -0700

In the summer of 1982, there were two films from Universal Pictures featuring an alien visiting our planet. One was a cute little botanist named E.T. whose film set box office records. The other was about a very different sort of alien, one that brought out mistrust and terror in all it encountered. The Thing. That movie made...less money, but it eventually found its audience and Ryan and Nathan are two of them.

Virtual Reality. Hot subject in 1999, and despite being somewhat late to the party, The Thirteenth Floor still squeaks into our 90s Cyberpunk batch. Thanks for joining us. Ryan and Nathan had pretty different experiences with this one, but manage to find some conversation fruit about artificial intelligence, video games and the ethics of killing NPCs. We then dive into a discussion about great horror movie monsters.

The mystery of why Rob Cohen didn't direct the xXx sequel is solved in this week's look at Stealth, another box office failure from the summer of 2005. This one takes some surprising turns as the marketing for this film focused on three things, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel's body and an evil A.I. plane. But only one of those things is as advertised.

O.K. Video Bad Investments 4 Jonah Hex

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 7 Nov 2023 03:24:00 -0700

Warner Bros made a steampunk Western about a vengeful Confederate General who wants to use a super weapon to destroy the Yankee Nation and only an especially talented gunslinger hired by President Grant has what it takes to stop him. And then they made it again in Jonah Hex, the spiritual cousin to Wild Wild West that nobody could have anticipated.

Was there ever really a chance that we'd get more than one Gods of Egypt film? Was there a strategy that would have sold this bizarre take on Egyptian mythology to the masses and bankrolled a new franchise for Summit Entertainment? Nathan and Ryan discuss this possibility while laying out the pros and cons of Alex Proyas' final gift (so far) to big screen buffs.

Ah, the subjectivity of human experience. Ryan and Nathan have very different takes on this week's box office failure, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, the movie that destroyed director Ron Underwood's career and put Eddie Murphy's career in a position where he needed a comeback. But in what other movie can you see Randy Quaid dual wield pistols in a gunfight on the moon?

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 8 Nov 2022 07:20:00 -0700

O.K. Video's journey to the Wild West begins with a visit to Tombstone in the Arizona Territory. This take on the tale of Wyatt Earp features a lot of talent, but does that ensure a great movie? Ryan and Nathan discuss it and then look at the allure of ensemble casts in general. Oh, and somehow Ryan's review of Black Adam made it in here. Thanks for listening.

O.K. Video Slasher Movie Remakes 9 Halloween (2007)

Just in time for HALLOWEEN, Ryan and Nathan take a look at the remake of John Carpenter's Halloween. No, not the one that launched a new trilogy four years ago, Rob Zombie's take from 2007 which left some scars that Ryan has yet to heal from. They talk it out and try to find silver linings where they can.

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 01:11:00 -0600

Wait, wasn't this a Halloween batch? NO, it was always slasher movie remakes and this week's entry proves it. Black Christmas is the film and it was written and directed by Glen Morgan in one of the great creative struggles of his career. Ryan and Nathan discuss this morbid and upsetting movie and the trials that went into its creation in this week's O.K. Video. Thanks for joining us.

O.K. Video Slasher Movie Remakes 7 My Bloody Valentine

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 03:22:00 -0600

Ryan and Nathan examine the freshest film of the slasher movie remake batch (according to the Tomatometer), My Bloody Valentine 3D. Will they concur with the larger critical community or find the exploits of the older Winchester Brother lacking in the scares department? All will be revealed by listening to this waveform.

Also discussed are films perhaps best left in the warming glow of nostalgia lest they seem lacking to the modern eye.

Is Fred Krueger REALLY the one to blame for the rash of carnage that has been plaguing kids in a small Ohio town? That's the question the ninth film in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise decides to ask. The answer is "OF COURSE" but it takes most of the running time of this film to get there.

Ryan and Nathan pay a visit to a very suspicious house in this week's episode of O.K. Video. A house full of ghosts. Perhaps a dozen ghosts. Perhaps a baker's dozen. Thir13en Ghosts. Is it a slasher movie remake? Kind of.

Our journey through time towards Halloween marches on with House of Wax, the much-maligned remake of a Vincent Price film neither Ryan nor Nathan has seen. But that's because Paris Hilton had yet to be born, and her role as Paige is one of several things we discuss. It's the part she was born to play?

Sean Archer. Castor Troy. Two faces, one picture, directed by the inimitable John Woo. What better way to conclude our look at high concept 90s action than with a look at the other big Nicolas Cage action feature of June 1997, Face/Off?

O.K. Video High Concept 90s Action 9 Demolition Man

okvideopodcast@gmail.com (O.K. Video) — Tue, 9 Aug 2022 00:45:00 -0600

Despite what I express in this episode, I don't actually have much animosity towards Denis Leary, I just don't find him especially interesting as an actor. But I never saw Rescue Me, so what do I know? Oh, this week we watched Demolition Man, the movie about the cryogenic prison that enables Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes to duke it out in a seemingly utopia future that hides a dark, Denis Leary-shaped secret. Pizza Hut or Taco Bell, who can tell them apart anyway?
