Ryan and Nathan are back with a late addition to the John Candy line-up, Only the Lonely . It was written and directed by Chris Columbus and straddles the line between drama and comedy in a way that gives Candy a lot to work with.  If you'd like to send in some questions for future shows, email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca, or okvideopodcast@gmail.com.

The John Candy train continues with Delirious , an oft-overlooked high concept comedy from 1991 that features a writer trapped in the soap opera world he created. But perhaps there is a reason people don't bring this one up very often.

The Calgary movie podcast takes a look at the Calgary-set and shot film Cool Runnings in our ongoing look at the career of John Candy. This one may well be the biggest financial hit of his career. Apologies for Nathan's audio on this one, t'is a bit crackly. Will try to address that for next episode.  If you'd like to email us some question, ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca are the forwarding addresses, or you can reach both of us at okvideopodcast@gmail.com We are also on Hive, Co-Host and Instagram, okvideopodcast. -N Cool Runnings

Only one of us wishes they could go on a sailboat ride with Rip Torn. Can you guess which one? Nathan and Ryan take a look at John Candy's first major starring role in Summer Rental , a movie about the importance of family, with a subtle dig at the Reagan administration and how they crushed the air traffic controller strike in the 80s.

Who's Harry Crumb? He's a hilariously inept detective played by John Candy in this hidden gem of a late 80s caper. Ryan and Nathan gush about the movie for 90 minutes before chatting about franchises that deserved some more entries and ones that are getting more whether we like it or not. Thanks for joining us.
