  LISTEN This episode took almost a year to make. Between life knocking us around and a couple of tragedies, it took us forever to get this out. Here is part one of The OG's theater memories. This episode is dedicated to our dear late friend, Vicki.     Find where to listen: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on our Facebook: facebook.com...

  LISTEN The OGs start 2025 by discussing the work of the late, great David Lynch and his lasting impact on the world and their lives. They go dreamy. They also discuss ancient Viking plastic surgeons and pitch their new sitcom with Werner Herzog and David Lynch ordering McDonald's drive-thru. COOP! I'm out of here!

  LISTEN OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #143: LOVE OVERLOAD After recording an entire new episode months ago and having to push it into the "Lost Episode" category because of world events, The OGs simply want to hang out and chat about life. Listen in as they talk about movies, how they spent their summer, Nicholas Cage, the calm and peaceful state of the world, and have a cocktail.    Fi...

  LISTEN Don't panic! The OGs (and one young guy - Dan Schwartz) fulfill a promise made years ago when they realized they didn't do this topic for episode 42. They dive into the multimedia cult phenomenon from the late, great Douglas Adams. Also mystery bone broth, cicada pee, at bears, dirt water, the Bible should lighten up, and our new "guy in the booth", David. Pour yourself a Pan Galacti...

LISTEN For a brief, shining moment in the late 70's and early 80's, in Chicago, two guys made most everyone chuckle. WLS DJs Larry Lujack and Tommy Edwards would present about 10 minutes of weird, funny stories (mostly) about animals every weekday on the airwaves. It's what podcasting was back then The OGs were in that sweet spot where they were able to enjoy the show at its peak. In this episode...

LISTEN The end (of 2023) is just hours away now! Picking up where we left off last week, The Old Guys sing the year to its rest. In this episode: Eric stabs Shawn with A.I. , Fake KISS, Eric buffers, aggressive outbursts keep us sane, emails from the dead, Twinkies by your... WHAT?!  Happy New Year, friends! All things OLD GUYS: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artif...

  LISTEN The end (of 2023) is nigh! It's been a mixed bag of a year for the OGs. From absent friends to cars crashing into houses, the Guys look back on the year, just happy to have survived. Combo platter, Canadian animation, negativity, lightsaber inconsistency, 50% with Marvel, and a wheelchair-accessible TARDIS are all on deck in the first half of this discussion! OLD GUY CENTRAL: https:/...

  LISTEN This time around the OGs are chatting about two actors who never disappoint; Willem Dafoe (Platoon, Spider-Man, Last Temptation of Christ, Boondock Saints) and David Warner (The Omen, Time Bandits, Tron, Twin Peaks). Also, they create the ultimate Wonka horror movie and recreate Hugh Grant's front seat "encounter" from the 90s.  All things OLD GUYS: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join...

  LISTEN The sink ships we hear, but the OGs can't stop their lips from flappin'. They chat about lots of things. A gorge of mayonnaise. Don't take the name of Goofy in vain. The Whackadoo political party could unite the country. Did THE X-FILES help poison the well? This one drills down into the dark.  Find where to listen: https://linktr.ee/ogwl t Join the conversation (and see our art...

  LISTEN Buildings are all around us... no, literally, as I am writing this. There's one right there. A couple next door and a ton THAT way. The Old Guys like it when they're cool! Whether they look like they're melting, were built out of spite, or torture the mentally ill, the OGs are all about them. Also, decades of Panda misinformation are finally cleared up. Alfred E. Newman is HOW old? T...

LISTEN This is heavy! The OGs pay tribute to a legendary Gen X talent that shaped our lives, Michael J. Fox. From his days as Alex P. Keaton to the recent documentary STILL, the OGs can't contain their 1.21 Jigawatts of love. Also, this history of Garage Sales. Muppets be trippin'. Phoebe Cates and all her dead chimney relatives. Psycho killer... kiss kissay. When this ep hits 88 mph, you're gonna...

  LISTEN OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #134: RENFIELD The Old Guys saw the latest Nick Cage movie, the excellent RENFIELD, and they are here to talk about it (amongst other things). Whatcha gonna do about it? Huh? Chump!! Stupid leg user!!

  LISTEN OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS MINISODE: COCAINE BEAR The OGs have been super busy but wanted to drop in to say hi and talk about the amazing film, COCAINE BEAR... amongst other things. Also in this minisode: portal opening, the 80s heyday of Satan, and of course, crawling into traffic.  Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on our Facebook: facebook.com/oldguyswholovethi...

  LISTEN   The OGs love the 'ZZA! From the crust to the weird English fried egg, they will pop these pizzas into their love oven and cook 'em up real good. Also, DON'T CHARGE US MORE FOR LESS FOOD!! Catholic keto. Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups. Grab a slice, won't you? All things OG: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on our Facebook: facebook.com/...

  LISTEN For some it was a disappointingly lousy movie from the 1980s... for others, it is a journey that began in the early 70s and extends to today's biggest Marvel blockbusters. Today the OGs are talking about that cigar-chomping, wise-quacking feather-bearing waterfowl... Howard the Duck. Maligned. Misunderstood. Also... duck junk. Racist cartoon gloves. Yolk talk. Eric ruins everything....

  LISTEN New Year, old guys. The OGs recently went to see the new experimental (and divisive) horror movie, SKINAMARINK. It blew their minds and they want to talk about it. Not every movie is for everyone. Also, Chefs are terrible, Virgin Nana and TikTok of the ancients. Look under the bed.

  LISTEN OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #130: THE NIGHT SOIL EPISODE The OGs wrap up the year with a hangout chat. Wintergreen sparks, night soil, DIE HARD being a sequel, ASMR, coin purses, floating hands, the Christmas blahs, and Phil Collins' strange 90s TV special are all on the yackety-yak menu. Find where to listen: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on...

  LISTEN The OGs are joined by friends Heidi, Jackson, and Katie as they all ooze gross love all over Weird Al Yankovic. From his chart-topping parodies to his original music, videos, movies, and TV shows. The man who invented the twinkie wiener sandwich, loved Harvey the Wonder Hampster and made the accordion a little cooler. A good man who seems timeless. Put on your Hawaiian shirt and tuck...

  LISTEN OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #128: AUTUMN The OGs are back but the world is dying! Leaves fall from the trees. Spices and smoke are in the air. Spirits and ghouls walk the night. SOUNDS AWESOME! The Guys love autumn and talk endlessly about it. Pumpkin Spice or no? Team Candy Corn or not? Plus Halloween movies and memories. Memory lane is covered in dead LEAVES!!!   All things...

  LISTEN Hey! The OGs are mostly alive and spent a little time recording something for you.  All things OGWLT : https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on our Facebook: facebook.com/oldguyswholovethings and talk to us via email: oldguyswholovethings@gmail.com Find Shawn online: http://www.gruegallery.com   and  https://www.shawndooleyart.com a...

  LISTEN In this episode, the OGs take a magical journey through a mystical land and talk about their favorite critters that "ain't from 'round here." From Cthulu to Fizzgig to whatever the hell those things were in TIME BANDITS. Also, Eric becomes an incognito farmhand in the 40s while Shawn wants the save the cute Gelfling girl. Flashback weekend. How far back does toxic fandom go? Angels g...

  LISTEN The OGs opted out of a topic this time, choosing instead to just hang out and chat. They try strange snacks and beverages. Hear talk of horrible jobs past, liquid breakfast cereal, and Gwar. Pull up a chair. It gets real.  Find where to listen: https://linktr.ee/ogwlt Join the conversation (and see our artifact album) on our Facebook: facebook.com/oldguyswholovethings and talk t...

  LISTEN The OGs have grown up in the suburban shadow of Chi-Town. The Windy City. The city of big shoulders. The city that became Nolan's Gotham. CHICAGO! Ferris Bueller's town. And the Old Guys love that town. From Wrigley to the thing not actually called The Bean. From dives to the Lower Lower. They will never give in. Never surrender. They will NEVER call it Willis Tower. ALSO... the many...

LISTEN Easily one of the coolest looking Marvel characters... a flaming skeleton decked out in all leather, riding a motorcycle made of hellfire. That's Ghost Rider, the object of the OG's affection this week. From comics to action figures to a couple of movies of quetionable merit, the OGs have always been in Ghost Rider's corner as he deals out Satan's swift justice on Earth. Also, what do you l...
