Ranking

It's Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) vs Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) in The Campaign, a political satire from 2012 that seems almost Capra-esque in light of how poisonous the realm of US politics has gotten in the last decade. But hey, don't let that spoil the fun! O.K. Video is here with their final Will Ferrell film of this batch. Thanks for joining us!

The Campaign

Adam McKay and Will Ferrell were a legendary team, making five feature films, all of them hits (I think). Anyway, here at O.K. Video we are only interested in the odd, the offbeat, so we took a look at the worst one, The Other Guys. It's not that it is bad, it just isn't legendary. But it has some good things and one humongous laugh. Ryan and Nathan talk about that and then decide to weigh in on whether there is other life in the universe.

The Other Guys

Mope Movies, those strange combinations of comedy and drama that often star comedians playing against type. This week, Ryan and Nathan explore this sub-genre with a look at Will Ferrell's Everything Must Go. Nathan must also confront the fact that one of his favourite directors almost exclusively trades in this type of movie. Thanks for joining us here at O.K. Video.
