O.K. Video Summer Ends, Fall Begins

 "This is it, don't get scared now." - Kevin Mcallister O.K. Video is going into hibernation. But before we sleep, we have one last ranking episode for you. The Summer of Change was indeed that for Ryan and I, and we are going to try to keep our creative energies going and continue to make stuff. Thank you to our loyal listeners for sticking with our tiny little show.  Both Ryan and I enjoyed all of these films, to a degree, so we are splitting some hairs in order to rank them. Hopefully we explained ourselves cogently.  We will still exist on BlueSky as OKVideo, and instagram as okvideopodcast. Nathan is Kraznor on many gaming platforms and will continue to cast on Pixel Response with exfauxsure. And Top Down Perspective. Find those on your pod catchers. Thanks again, and have a great life. Nathan Bear the Cat was here for the editing of this episode

It's late August, and you know what that means. Time to visit the local, kinda sad amusement park. In Pittsburgh, that would be Adventureland .
