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...

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 o...

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...

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...

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 cha...

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...

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 beginn...

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...

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. Does it make you randy? email us at askocdpod@gmail.com Give us a 5-star rating and a review in your podc...

"I AM THE FBI !!" Evan and Chris take another flight with the owls as they journey through the second half of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). We share our favorite moments (Cooper finally!) and disappointments (what was that ending?) as we ponder upon whether this will be our final TP discussion at the formica table above the convenience store.

"HELLLLLOOOOOOOO! JADE GAVE TWO RIDES" Evan and Chris are back in the Black Lodge (or is it the White Lodge), as they take a look at the first 8 episodes of the increasingly bizarre Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). Opinions are all over the map between us, much like they are between the fan base as a whole.

"I NEED YOU TO TRUST ME; ONE LAST TIME..." Is it really the last time we'll see Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt on screen? Now that Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is available on streaming, we're sharing an episode we recorded shortly after seeing this film on opening weekend in the theater. Evan and Chris discuss their reactions to The Final Reckoning as well as share their thoughts on the ot...

"WHO DO YOU THINK THIS IS THERE?" We're not sure, actually. But we are sure that we're not going to talk about Judy...or will we? Today Evan and Chris are joined by special guest and friend of the show Josh. Fire Walk With Me is the prequel film for the TV series we've discussed at length already: Twin Peaks. Allow us to walk you through this 1992 David Lynch masterpiece with a healthy portion of...

"HOW'S ANNIE? HOW'S ANNIE?..." Evan and Chris share thoughts on the second half of the second season of Twin Peaks (1990). We both wanted to k!11 ourselves through most of it. But the ship righted itself 2-3 episodes before the end. Then we were ALL the way back in!

"SOUNDS REAL GOOD SHERIFF BUT I ALREADY ATE!" Evan and Chris dive in to the first half of the second season of Twin Peaks (1990). Things were pretty great until a murder was solved. Then the wheels begin to fall off the young franchise...

"What kind of fantastic Trees have you got growing around here?" Evan and Chris dive in to the first season of Twin Peaks (1990). This quirky TV show was fantastic (at least in this first season), and had a definitive impact on popular culture. Evan compares his experience as a brand-new viewer of the show with Chris, who watched it in the original run.
