O.K. Video Weird Cop Buddies 8 Osmosis Jones Stomach churning chicanery abounds in our final cop buddy film of the batch, Osmosis Jones . Osmosis Jones teams up with Drixenol to help prevent Frank DeTorre from kickstarting a new pandemic in this fiscally underappreciated wonder from 2001. Featuring in-grown toe-nails, fake eyelashes and salt and mayo covered eggs (a favorite of chimpanzees), this film nearly triggers the gag reflex for Ryan. Nathan had never seen it before and had a decent time thanks to the reteaming of Chris Elliott with Bill Murray. All this and ranting about the Oscars on this week’s cast.  If you’d like to ask us anything or share a thought, @okvideopodcast on Twitter is one way, ryan@okvideo.ca is another (that’s an email address). Next week is our ranking episode. Enjoy!  -N

O.K. Video Weird Cop Buddies 7 Dead Heat Usually when you check into a morgue you don’t check back out. Not true in Dead Heat , the latest in O.K. Video’s look back at Weird Buddy Cop pairings. This time Roger Mortis is our oddball, raised from the dead by a miraculous new machine that gives him 12 hours to get revenge on the elite 1 percenters trying to cheat death in the underbelly of L.A. His partner, Doug Bigelow, is racked with guilt after failing to save Roger from a premature death and is duty-bound to help his friend get justice before dissolution claims him at the end of the day. With their combined strength, can they take down Keye Luke, Darren McGavin and Vincent Price before we are forced to suffer under the rule of the same extremely old, rich people for the rest of time?

O.K. Video Weird Cop Buddies 6 Heart Condition Denzel Washington! Bob Hoskins! Ghosts! Alcoholic Cats! Corrupt Senators! Cocaine! Heart Condition is not a comedy.
