Occasional Content Discussions

SWEAR TO ME!! This episode consists of an all-encompassing discussion of the various film and TV entities of Batman (well, except maybe the animated Batmen. We don't discuss those a whole lot). Since it's such a grand task, we had to bring in our good friend Josh to join us again. Our discussion of Batman ranges from the Adam West TV version all the way through the unexpectedly awesome movie The Batman (2022). Evan D, Chris G, and Josh C share the good and bad of the various Dark Knights...ooh! The Dark Knight! That was a great one, wasn't it?Thank you for listening.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S JUST, LIKE, YOUR OPINION MAN! And the quotes go on and on for this cult classic, but do we even like this movie beyond a few funny moments? Today Evan and Chris discuss another Coen Brothers movie that has a large following (yeah, like with conventions and everything): The Big Lebowski (1998). Evan likes it better than Chris, who apparently cannot believe that he used to like it. Listen for discussion and trivia around this film, including other considerations to play the role of The Dude. In the meantime, I think we can all agree: That rug really tied the room together, did it not?Thank you for listening. Please give us a 5-star rating and leave a short review.

BOY! THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY! Who doesn't love a 1970s-era street fight between competing news crews? Welcome to the world of the TV news anchorman (and anchorwoman) in their heyday in the late 70s. Today Evan and Chris are BACK after a hiatus to discuss one of the biggest hits of the Will Ferrell-Adam McKay collaborations of the early 2000s: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. There are lots of laughs and memorable quotes from this comedy. Give it a listen, and tell us what you think. Because 60 percent of the time, it works every time...It's SCIENCE!Thank you for listening. Please give us a 5-star rating and leave a short review. You can write us at [email protected].

R-U-N-N-O-F-T with us to a setting in the 1930s (where they got this de-pression on) for some fun and mayhem with one of our favorite re-watchable movies of all time. Today Evan and Chris are joined once again by special guest and friend of the show Josh to talk about the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). It was a joy to talk about this masterpiece and its impact on culture over the last 26 years. We could've gone on for another hour, because we three love this film so much--we're all goin' apey. "Well it was a powerful air..." Thank you for listening. Please give us a 5-star rating and leave a short review. You can write us at [email protected].

I HAVE SERVED. I WILL BE OF SERVICE... Welcome to another OCD podcast where we discuss another pair of awesome action movie sequels: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023). These films continue to take the violence and gunfights up several notches as the action escalates ever further against the High Table. Evan was a bit let down by Chapter 3, but Chris thought it kicked ass. Both agreed that Chapter 4 might be the best in the franchise. But is it the end for Keanu Reeves as John Wick? Spoiler news says NO!email us at [email protected] us a 5-star rating and a review in your podcast app, pretty please.

BABA YAGA IS HERE! Welcome to our first episode of 2026 as we discuss a pair of awesome action movies: John Wick (2014) and John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017). These films can be deemed as revivals of both the action movie genre and of Keanu Reeve's career. While Evan had seen them before (and recommended them), Chris was seeing them for the first time and had a ball watching. How much do we love the characters, the action, and the revenge of these first two John Wick films?! Spoiler alert: a LOT.

YIPPIE KI-YAY FOLKS! It's the most wonderful time of the year, so this week Evan and Chris discuss one of everyone's favorite Christmas movies: Die Hard (1988). It's the film that launched Bruce Willis into stardom and made him an 80s action hero. Chris likes the film fine, but not as much as when he saw it as a teenager. Evan has talked himself into it being one of his favorite movies of all time apparently. But is it really a Christmas movie? And how do we define what constitutes that description? We hope you enjoy and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS from the OCD podcast!email us at [email protected] us a 5-star rating and a review in your podcast app, pretty please.

WHO THROWS A CUPCAKE, HONESTLY? Evan and Chris go back and forth this time between 2002 and 1975 to review the third "very toit" film in the trilogy, Austin Powers in Goldmember. We seemed to agree on the high comedic and entertainment value of this fun film, yet lament that there won't be any more it seems. Beyonce's "Foxy Cleopatra" was indeed a whole lotta foxy, sugar. The cameos at the beginning and end of the film were a complete delight. The character Dr. Evil really hits his stride in this film, while Scottie may have turned out even more evil..And that Goldmember was something else, ja?" Too bad about that unfortunate smelting accident... And don't forget Austin Powers "Fasha" played by the legendary Michael Caine.. He was in pure form...email us at [email protected] us a 5-star rating and a review in your podcast app, pretty please.

WHY MAKE A TRILLION WHEN WE CAN MAKE...BILLIONS? Evan and Chris go back and forth again from the 1990s to the 1960s to review the second groovy film in the trilogy, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). We were split on our review of the film, but agreed that Twin Peaks alumna Heather Graham is "switched on," and that Rob Lowe was perfectly cast as a young Number Two. Did we get enough of Fat Bastard, or too much? Plus, we meet Mini-Me who learns from Dr. Evil that "we don't gnaw on our kitty." Aaaaaand I'm spent...email us at [email protected] us a 5-star rating and a review in your podcast app, pretty please.

GROOVY BABY! YEAH! Evan and Chris return to travel to the swinging '60s to review this shagadelic Mike Myers creation, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). We believe it's fantastic, silly fun with comedy that holds up almost 3 decades later. Plus, it has Elizabeth Hurley in it.
