O.K. Video

Ryan and Nathan kick off their spotlight on John Candy with one of his most iconic characters, Uncle Buck. There are some differences of opinion on this one, but it provides an in-depth look at what works and what maybe kinda sorta doesn't in this late 80s family comedy from John Hughes. Then we discuss some of our favourite toys and games from our formative years.

Our final Ladies Choice film has arrived. She's All That, the iconic rom-com from 1999 that may be responsible for a major boost in Fatboy Slim record sales. But how does it hold up in 2023? We get into that and somehow talk about James Bond yet again.

She's All That

Be he ghost or demon, Beetlejuice is here for Ladies Choice night at O.K. Video. Ryan and Nathan discuss the film that cemented Tim Burton as a major force in Hollywood for decades to come, as well as the amazing transformation Michael Keaton pulls off to become one of cinema's zaniest characters. Thank you for joining us.

Beetlejuice

Ryan's wife Ashley provides our latest pick in We Were Soldiers. A Vietnam war film from 2002 that managed to differentiate itself from the tone and character of the films that came before it that focused on that controversial conflict. We also reflect on some of our favourite films of 2022. Thanks for joining us.

We Were Soldiers

Ryan and Nathan take a look at one of Brian De Palma's very first films in Phantom of the Paradise, a musical horror comedy that had a profound impact on two French boys who would grow up to become an iconic music duo, as well as the people of Winnipeg who would grow up to become...legends.

Phantom of the Paradise

An unassuming movie that weaseled its way into Ashley's heart is the focus of this week's episode, courtesy of Pure Luck, featuring Martin Short and Danny Glover. It didn't quite land home for either Ryan or Nathan, but they discuss movies that meant a lot to them despite generally low verdicts by most. And, to cap it off, Ryan drops his review of The Princess Bride as part of our question conversation.

Pure Luck

Nathan and Ryan continue their investigation of the movies that made their wives who they are today with Death Becomes Her, a quirky, dark comedy from 1992 starring three big-time movie stars in Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis and the always-nominated Meryl Streep. Directed by Robert Zemeckis back when he was still really cool, this one was chosen by Brittanny Faust.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

For the first time in O.K. Video's history, Ryan and Nathan are taking a look at one of the most successful movies of all time. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial was the box office king of the 1980s. It was also a childhood favourite to many, including Nathan's wife Brittanny. Does it remain timeless?
