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. Ryan is active on Letterboxd, you can find him there as ramcculloch. Thanks again, and have a great life. Nathan & Ryan Bear the Cat was here for the editing of this episode

We started The Summer of Change batch with George Lucas' American Graffiti and we end it with his best friend's contribution to the coming-of-age genre, Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans . A suitable way to close out this batch. Email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca if you have any questions or feedback.

O.K. Video The Summer of Change 10 The Edge of Seventeen

We're taking it to the brink with this film. Right up to precipice of adolescence. This week we're watching The Edge of Seventeen as we continue through this batch of coming of age films. Nathan and Ryan discuss, argue and recap this week's movie as they themselves are pushed to the edge(!). That's a tad dramatic but it's not easy writing these blurbs.

Hopefully it still feels like summer to you! -R George Lucas the GOAT ?

Are your street smart or are you book smart? Well the two lead characters in the this week's film find out you can be both., and that they might have missed out on a more fun high school experience because they pursued one over the other. Here at the cast, we're watching Booksmart as we continue through our The Summer of Change batch. This one comes from a whole team of female creators and offers a fresh perspective on a familiar framework. Email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca if you have any questions or feedback.

Nathan and Ryan splish and splash through the water slide of emotions in this week's film, The Way Way Back . They'll discuss summer jobs, nicknames, terrible people and waterparks, all while talking about growing up.
