Off the Record with Jon and Tim

The newest member of Jox Primetime is our guest on Off the Record as Aaron Daniel joins the show to re-live the good old days when the three guys started working together.

They talk about Jon's hate of Halloween, the famous "pelican" segment and their worst work ever when they shot a Purge style video a couple of years ago to review the third Purge movie.

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

23:41 - Jon, Tim and Aaron bring up some memories from their old radio show, The Midnight Meltdown, starting with the "Pelican story" where Jon and Tim made Aaron impersonate a pelican then got callers to make pelican noises too.  [Listen to the pelican segment here.](https://soundcloud.com/the_meltdown/what-sound-does-a-pelican-make)

31:52 - Tim gets Jon to recount the "Purge Review" that all three of them did to review The Purge: Election Year, and how bad it was. [Watch the terrible video here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph4XqV0COhE)

We're back with another Monday edition of the podcast as we discuss what we did over the weekend including hosting more radio shows and watching the new show "Maniac" which came out on Netflix this past weekend.

22:10 - Jon and Tim discuss Maniac. Tim says it's hard to watch, Jon says it's extremely bizarre but the payoff is worth sticking to it.

We're back. We took a few days off, but we're back and talking more about the new Joker movie, discussing Tim's hate of space movies (and Jon's continued hate of horror) plus discussions about Westworld and more.

Listen as we ramble about movies and TV shows for an hour to make up for lost time this week.

The guys discuss the new casting news and first photos from the new Joaquin Phoenix "Joker" movie.  Both are still skeptical, but that leads them into a discussion about what they think about Joaquin Phoenix overall after Jon recommended Tim watch "Her".

Jon brings up the parallels between Her and Blade Runner 2049 and then they discuss why a great movie like Blade Runner 2049 didn't make more at the box office.

That leads into a discussion on marketing which brings things back to the DCEU and how poorly it has been handled.

Jon and Tim discuss their love of video games and some of their favorites as they prepare for the launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this winter.

The conversation then turns into how video games are so negatively viewed by many.  The guys discuss how people unfairly blame video games for shootings and how many people in sports view video games as lazy.

It's a stormy day at the Off the Record Studios. With that, Jon says it's perfect sleeping weather so Tim talks about how much he enjoys naps but can't sleep in a moving vehicle.

That then leads to Jon thinking back to the times that he's almost fallen asleep in a car or been with someone who has fallen asleep while driving.

Then the podcast takes a strange turn as we tell a story we never thought we would ever tell in public.  It has to do with Alabama football, a coworker and nachos.  Enjoy.

Today we start off by talking about Hurricane Florence as it has already made multiple college football games be cancelled.  Jon and Tim talk about the coverage of the hurricanes in town and what this one will mean for the rest of the season.

Tim brings up the story that Henry Cavill has left the role of Superman.  One site says Michael B. Jordan should be Superman, and Jon and Tim debate the pros and cons of having a black Superman and compare it to the response so far to the rumors of Idris Elba playing James Bond.

Then the conversation goes into why ESPN is failing so bad right now.

We recap our weekends while breaking down sports, movies and more.

The podcast starts with Jon and Tim continuing their fight over Halloween after Tim decided to tweet at Jon about the good reviews Halloween had compared to A Star Is Born. Jon counters a day later after the negative reviews came out.

Jon then recaps what the metal detectors and experience was like at Bryant-Denny Stadium this week as Alabama opened the football season.

Our AJ Question of the Day asks us if we've ever gotten teary eyed during a sporting event, TV show or movie.

Jon brings up winning his first state championship, Tim brings up watching the movie Pearl Harbor after September 11.  That starts a discussion about where we were when 9/11 happened and how it affected us as we near the 17th anniversary tomorrow.

Our AJ Question of the Day asked us a couple of days ago about things we'd like to see come to Birmingham, but on this podcast, we spend the entire time lamenting about things that Birmingham no longer has, including: better movie theaters, Galleria Fun Country, good arcades, and Jon especially misses Mars Music.

On today's episode, we discuss how we handle criticism on our show, specifically when people tweet comments that aren't based in any kind of fact.

Our "AJ Question of the Day" asks us if we would ever be the voice of a sports team if we couldn't be a fan of the team.

We discuss some movie trailers we've seen lately after Tim geeked out over the new Halloween trailer, and that takes us down a path of what comedic actors we still like, what comedy duos we enjoy most and what has happened to the good old days of funny movies.
