We check out trailers for Secrets of the Mogwai and Secret Invasion, on this very secretive episode. It's not secretive, I don't know why I said that. Also, HBO Max changing its name to just Max is the dumbest idea ever.
Sondra Slade is here this week! We talk about Watergate, Motley Crue, and plenty of Star Wars. Also, Hilton educates everyone about Ahsoka Tano.
Which Winnie the Pooh characters are inspired by drugs, and which ones are clearly porn? That’s probably not what reporter and anchor Rick Maranon expected to talk about on his return to OLA this week. He joins us in our stories of estate sale finds, abuse of power, and Oktoberfest. Then, we talk about movies like Quasi and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and Big Shark. One we liked, one we’re not sure if it’s real, and one is the Power Rangers movie. Also, what exactly is a hap?
Someone put Chad Smith in a movie! That’s our decree this week, as we’re joined by comedian Jeremy Beck! We talk to Jeremy about his time performing stand-up, as well as his new novel Beyond the Break, which is available on Amazon right now! Together, we learn about the intricacies of the Red Hot Chili Pepper Cinematic Universe, united by the on screen performances of Anthony Keidis and Flea. After that, it gets weird.
We’re thrilled to have the voice of Tulsa, DJ Chuck Stikl back in the house this week! It’s been more than 160 episodes since we sat down with Chuck, one of our earliest and most frequent guests! We check out the trailers for “The Lake” and “Chupa,” and have mixed feelings on both. We also look at the changes happening at your local theater, and how season ticket holders are responding. Plus: The amazing adorable raccoon dog! And did you know there’s a new Chemical Brothers track? Also, TikTok is changing radio, but radio has always been changing. Also, Tiktok is changing the NBA. Also also, Seth Meyers and John Oliver!
Zampino and Hilton are taking the weekend off to go be guests on the Comic Khan's Podcast, so we recorded a special mini episode over video chat so you won't have to miss us! We talk about what to expect on this guest spot, which leads to some surprisingly deep conversations about superhero comics. Plus, a new TMNT movie is coming out this summer, and we take a look at the cast and trailer. Plus, Hilton's middle school rapper name. Blink and you'll miss it.
This week, comedian, musician, and all around creative force Niccolo Birkitt stops by! You can see Niccolo on stage as part of Sex Thief, or co-hosting the Hash on the Mic show at Sesh Lounge! We talk about the controversy surounding the upcoming Peter Pan & Wendy, and who we remember from the trailer for Haunted Mansion. Plus, Merrick Garland is really into Taylor Swift, and we get a surprising amount of content from that. Also, weird ass Rudy Giuliani, and Mexican Coke!
Jon Stringer is back, this time with wife Joanna Stringer, but without his voice! Jon manages to rasp his way through the episode as we talk about the absurdity of the Fast and Furious franchise. Then, we debate the merits of Demolition Man's 3 seashells, why Phil Collins wants to own the Alamo, and whether you can be a comedian without being an attention seeker. All this, and showing our buttholes to God. Come hang out with us!
Sam Carrico is back this week! The host of the Film Fanclub is the perfect guest to take a long look at some of the biggest trailers to come out of the “Big Game” last weekend, including the new Indiana Jones, The Flash, and the third Guardians of the Galaxy! We also look at back at Marvel’s Phase 4, and discuss some of the upcoming announcements from DC! Sam also shares some of his film critic philosophy, and shares a little of what we can expect from his new Season, which kicks off Monday! Check out Film Fanclub here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC25e-ezollsa-H41LYClejw
This week, we’re thrilled to chat with the creator of Strawberry Shortcake, the Get-Along Gang, and the Care Bears, Muriel Fahrion! Muriel has been making her mark in Oklahoma, with her own art studio, and lots of time spent supporting the arts in Tulsa, often alongside her pal and ours, Evan Hughes! We talk about Muriel’s time working on iconic characters, how she established herself in Oklahoma, and how she’s using her creative talent to bring joy to others. Be sure to check out her website www.outtathinairstudio.com, and say hi if you see her and Evan carousing about town!
Binge with Terrell Norton is now on OLAMinistries.com, so Terrell Norton came by OLA to hang out! We listen to prog rock Zelda and the sounds of dial-up Internet, discuss the classic tropes (and hiding spots) of pornography, and marvel at the power of the phrase "30 more minutes." There's also some Dave Bautista, a little Laurence Fishburne, and definitely some Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Some Letterkenny, some Shoresy, and plenty of other binge-worthy TV shows. Oh, and the difference between a Vodka cranberry and a Cranberry vodka. That, and we start calling him Tik Tok Terrell.
Tulsa’s Gothic Cowboy comedian, Jesse Willett, is in the hot seat this week! We talk about the appropriate length for comedy shows, why celebrities come to Tulsa, and whether virtue signaling is as bad as it seems. But that’s not all! We also talk about the appropriate length for movies, changes in creative communities, and the surprising screenwriting career of Nick Cave! Plus, the wonder and charm of Bloodsport, and the mystery and mild racism of Black Rain. Also, Tom Hardy!
Cam Porter is back for this mega episode! Cam's new store Critical Hit Gaming will open in just a few weeks, so we've got him in the hot seat while we still can! We check out trailers for Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and finally talk about! We're also psyched for Evil Dead Rise (except Hilton, who's too bust being scared) and ready to have the Super Mario Movie on a loop when it's available to stream. Speaking of Mario, Hilton says he's been saying it right the whole time, until we realize he's actually deadnaming him. Speaking of offensiveness, we look back on offensive moments in movies we love, before looking at ourselves and finally liking what we see. Also, Star Wars, musicians with missing limbs, and which Gallagher brother is still alive. No, not Noel and Liam, the ones with the watermelons!
This week, we sit down with artist Zach Raw to talk about the hype over his "Waffle Warrior" inspired by the viral video where a Waffle House waitress pulls some Street Fighter moves on a mid-air chair! We catch up on some of Zach's other projects, like the music video "Descendants" for Fire in Little Africa, and discuss proper etiquette for requesting commission work (there really isn't any, just be cool.) Plus, comics, anime, music, and even a little wrestling. And probably an a-hole opinion, or 2! Check it out, and click this link to see more of Zach's work, or order your Waffle Warrior t-shirt: https://linktr.ee/ZachRaw
Brett and Hannah are back for Episode 251, where we agree some Kevins suck. We say goodbye to the CU podcast, and harass a racist on Facebook. Then, we talk about new horror movie Skinamarink before learning we need to save the new Garfield movie from Chris Pratt. Then, we learned Garfield has a strip about dog cum, and now nothing is certain. Also, Chet Hanks!
For landmark episode 250, we’re embracing technology and talking to the hilarious Jon Stringer over the internet from his home in Kansas! Jon and the guys talk about his ongoing project renovating an old church into a home, and his adventures telling jokes on the high seas on the cruise ship circuit! He’s also got some “land gigs” and we touch on those, as well as the superpower of a good relationship, the challenges and evolution of social media, and why you can just add more letter Rs to every month’s name! All this and more, so you better get listening!
The Tulsa King is no match for the King of Tulsa! We're chatting with Evan Hughes this week, so that means asking about the impact of his social media blessings, and his ability to move between Tulsa's various creative communities with ease. We're also talking punk music, Transformers, and the Immortal Hulk, (but Hulk Hogan, screw that guy.) Plus, we're mentioning lots of local businesses for your last minute holiday shopping! Come hang out!
Can the legendary adventurer survive his greatest challenge yet? That's the question as the guys welcome Johnny Polygon and Jimmi Joe (Jimmi Joe & the Funk Chariot Allstars) to the studio to talk about their latest projects. We're checking out trailers for the new Guardians and Indiana Jones movies, but neither one has half as much potential as Cocaine Bear. We're also thinking about the 90s and choosing our favorite year. Plus, can you be too famous? The answer is yes, it is very much yes.
On this very special early release of OLA, the guys sit down with musician Sarah Frick to talk about her new band Fleure, and her other band, Golden Ones (which we already adore), as well as her venture into vintage resale with her online shop Polly Hester, and this weekend’s Time Travelers Vintage Expo. We check out trailers for That 90s Show (Is this necessary?) and The Super Mario Bros. Movie (THIS IS NECESSARY.) We also dive into some Internet hidden gems, reminisce about the wave of lady-led rock bands in the 90s, and even chat about The Sandman, and whether the Netflix show is doing the beloved comic Justice. All this, and Pizzzzzaaaaaa!
This week, rapper Alan Doyle sits down with the guys, and right out the gate we’re debating the merits of CDs and Scary Movies 2-5. Then, it’s all the blood and honey you can handle, as Winnie the Pooh gets a horror movie. We’re also checking out some shows on streaming, and getting a deal in the process. Also, Alan is less steps removed from the Tiger King than you might think. Also, 90s comedy films were weird. It’s Opinion Like A-holes! Woooo!
This week, the guys welcome back CR Parsons for his fourth appearance! Just one more to get the gold (green?) jacket! The guys check in on CR’s myriad of activities, from comedy to music to lawyerin’ to helping run Oktoberfest to more! They check out trailers for Elemental (Looks cool!) and 80 for Brady (Looks lame!) before touching on the length of modern franchises, whether the band Live was any good, and what it takes to make (or break) a fun telephone hotline! It’s an episode for everyone, but idiots will find even more to love. Check it out!
This week, the guys sit down with comedian BB from Arkansas! They check out trailers for “Hip-Hop Nutcracker” and “Mindcage,” before getting into a spoiler-free discussion of the new film “Black Adam.” Then, we look into the recently announced retirement of Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars, and the tragic death of beloved voice actor Kevin Conroy, who played Batman in various media for more than 3 decades. BB gives us his no spoiler review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, making Hilton and Zamp want to end the show early to see it!
This week, the guys sit down with Jeff Brame, artist, tattoo artist, set designer, and co-host of the YouTube series Whiskey Pop. We check out the trailers for Creed 3 and some unfunny wedding movie, then we take on horror franchises, festivals, Star Wars, and more. Check it out!
