O.K. Video The Summer of Change 6 Adventureland

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 . Greg Mottola made a movie about it, and I'm happy to report, it's still a thoughtful film about growing up a bit on the precipice of big life changes. Jesse Eisenberg and Kirsten Stewart lead a talented cast in this slice of late 80s life. Thanks for joining us. If you'd like to email us, we have addresses for that. ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca We're also on BlueSky (liberal Twitter), OKVideo. And instagram (old people Tik-Tok), okvideopodcast.

Come back in time to 2007.

O.K. Video Criminally Unknown 12 Cop Land

O.K. Video Criminally Unknown The Gingerbread Man

Run, run, run as fast as you can. You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man. Now what does that have to do with this week's film, very little. Robert Altman writes and directs this week's film, based upon a discarded manuscript by John Grisham, The Gingerbread Man  quietly released in January 1998 and doesn't get talked about much these days. So we asked, is The Gingerbread Man  Criminally Unknown?
