Off the Record with Jon and Tim

Jon is sick, so he pretty much gives Tim the floor to rave about the new Halloween movie.  They discuss whether it was any good or not and what it means for the franchise and slasher films in general moving forward.

Jon also continues to defend his dislike of violent horror movies.

This is unscripted, real conversation. This is what happens off the air. This is Off the Record.

Jon and Tim are back with another edition of Off the Record.  Jon appeared on TV this morning promoting his non-profit foundation, and Tim talks about how good (or bad) of a job he did.

Tim then asks if Jon was nervous being on TV when they are normally just on the radio.  Jon says that he wasn't afraid to do TV because he's in a studio and not in front of a bunch of people.  

That starts a conversation on fear and what Jon and Tim fear most and how they handle that fear.  That leads into them talking about how you have to have fear in order to truly be successful in life.

(Also Jon threw together a new intro for the podcast. We may keep it, we may not.)

Jon and Tim are back with another week of Off the Record.

Jon recaps his weekend which included heading to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama/Missouri game and his experience during Dixieland Delight.

Jon and Tim also went and saw First Man and reviewed it for the Jox Entertainment Crew. You can hear that full review here.

Tim asks Jon about his friends outside of work and Jon talks about how his friends never listen to the radio because it's looked at as such an "old" medium.

The rest of the podcast is Jon and Tim talking about creating content around "moments" and how radio is locked down to where stations can't be "in the moment" because of their specific formats.

This is our longest podcast ever. We start talking, and never shut up.

Tim then asks what movie Jon is most looking forward to in the remainder of 2018 now that A Star Is Born is out. That starts Jon discussing some bizarre movies he is looking forward to.

It's long, but take a listen as we nerd out about a bunch of stuff.

(The picture today is the role of the old delivery man that Jon played in Barefoot in the Park at Homewood Theater earlier this year. The picture is from the movie version of Barefoot in the Park in 1967 starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, the delivery man was played by James F. Stone.)

The episode finishes with an "AJ Question of the Day" which asks about the 6-8 pm time slot and whether or not Jon and Tim enjoy it and if not, what time would they do instead?

Jon and Tim discuss their weekend of movies which started with A Star is Born ([check out the spoiler review of the movie here](https://audioboom.com/posts/7035274-episode-38-a-star-is-born)).

Tim went to see A Star is Born again while Jon went to go see Venom.

They also discuss the new Joker movie and their confidence in it with Todd Phillips at the helm (who directed The Hangover and produced A Star is Born) along with Bradley Cooper as a director.  They also discuss whether they should turn the new Joker movie into more than just one film if it's good after the failure of the DCEU.

Jon then discusses Venom (with spoilers) and how it swung for the fences but ultimately struck out.  He also discusses how this version of Venom probably won't tie into the current MCU version if Spider-Man.

Finally, they discuss their experiences at the new AMC Dine-in and AMC Prime theaters that were just opened in town.
