Our Kid's Asleep

Here we go, let's talk about three things:

On this one, we go back to the beginning of the millennium when the Lord of the Rings trilogy came out and everything changed. We share some thoughts on Two Towers, because as we tend to do at our house, we start in the middle and figure out the rest. The first of a few talks on the timeless Lord of the Rings films.

Next up we cover the top headlines on reddit this week (our new segment to find one feel-good headline!).

And to end on a good note, Maddie and I talk about email correspondence back in the day. It is definitely a throwback kind of episode. Shoot us an email at [email protected] if there's something you'd like us to cover or to say hi!

Much love and have a great week,

Hello folks!

Here we have an interesting episode where we talk about two things and then some:

First off, we discuss Amazon's Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a delightful award-winning series we just started watching. If you haven't seen it, stop by for a listen!

In lieu of picking something off the headlines, Madd and I thought we should look at reddit for inspiration and decided to check out the top headlines from this past week to find one uplifting headline. Might be the way to handle headlines moving forward, we'll see!

And lastly, we wanted to get into the Disneyverse for a moment and talk about one of our favorite movies from childhood: Aladdin. We may have gone on a magic carpet ride express tangent about Disney's insatiable lust for power, remakes, and our anticipation for Disney Plus. What the hell Disney, shut up and take our money...

Bye friends, have a great week!

Happy Wednesday! OKA brings you today:

The marvel and wonder that is Wyoming's musical gem and best kept secret, The Oyster Ridge Music Festival. Great fun, outstanding talent from across the country, and the kindest people you've ever met, all in Kemmerer, WY!

Next up, we cover Andrew Yang, who is currently challenging for the Democratic nomination, as well as the fervor of his #yanggang. If you'd like to know more about the candidate, check out his JRE interview in which he concisely lays out his agenda just as he wants to. Sounds like a nice guy!

Lastly, we come to the realization that J's sister, Brenda, has great TV recommendations. She made us watch Queer Eye and now we can't stop. Yes, it's still reality television, but let's talk about what it has to say!

Have a good week, friends.

On this one, we get a profanity prologue because J has a crisis about swears and whether they are a weapon of language or a crutch.

We discuss two awesome movies we watched back to back: Crazy Rich Asians and Always be my Maybe.

Trump vs The Squad: We can't even.

Lastly, we cover The Sandlot and the birth of a new segment: Stuff J missed out on growing up in Mexico.

We made it to Episode 20!

Here's what it sounds like when friends come over! We're lucky to have had Steve, Teresa, and Brad come over and celebrate the 20th episode with us in this low-key conversation about Steve's time in the Air Force, our feel-good movies growing up, and some thoughts on the Simpsons.

Thanks for listening friends!

Hi folks, it's been a while! We want to talk about three things:

It's FOMO time! J goes on an intermittent social media blackout and we discuss the repercussions of leaving social media for even a day. Let's discuss how linked to the system we really are!

We finally get to have our long-awaited conversation about HBO's superb new miniseries, Chernobyl. While we tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum, please consider watching the show before listening to this episode.

And then it's Tenacious D! On this throwback segment, Madd and I return to one of the bands that defined the coming of age of a generation. Specifically, we focus on their self-titled debut album. Hilarious, foul-mouthed, genius. Hope you join us on this one!

For crying out loud, we're back!

We tried to stay away from the Alabama abortion bill but we could not help it.

Our reaction to the most excellent Hulu show, Ramy. And a deep dive into why modern tv is an increasingly intense commitment.

We delve into the frustrating crisis in Wyoming of negligence on the road, in particular people's aversion to wearing seatbelts in our state.

There is Nothing Left to Lose is a crowning achievement in the Foo Fighters catalog. Madd and I share our fondest memories of this album

Hello folks!

Life got in the way for us last week and we just weren't able to share our podcast until today, so this week gets two episodes!

On Episode 16, we discuss the big news that Amazon is selling tiny homes now and we wonder if this is the future of the beginning of the end. Also, we veer into transhumanism a bit, as well as the failed dreams of a generation... You know, light stuff.

We also review the Netlix doc Knock Down the House, a riveting look at some of the underdogs of the 2018 midterms.

Peace,

J&M

A milestone episode!

On this one, we are joined by not one, but three guests! Friends of the pod Teresa and Brad came over for dinner and discuss Teresa's Top 5 Films! Catty G joins us from the living room couch and a laid back conversation ensues about movies and what we liked to watch growing up. This has been the most effortless OKA episode to date. Thanks for stopping by, friends!

PS, Jaime formally issues an apology for using B-Rad as Brad's podcasting name. That was not cool.
