Ep 263 I Christopher Robined on Her Back

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.

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 bet...

Tulsa’s Gothic Cowboy comedian, Jesse Willett, is in the hot seat this week!

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!...

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.

Ep 249 Tulsa King vs. The King of Tulsa

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.

Come hang out!

Ep 248 Indiana Jones and the Cocaine Bear

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.

Ep 246 My Grandmama Gave Me That Hulk

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!
