O.K. Video Episode 5 : Body Snatchers (1993)

  O.K. Video Episode 5 Body Snatchers Five, the magic number for RSS feeds. With any luck our humble little show will start to appear on podcast platforms in the near future.  For magic number five we get into this remake (or is it a sequel?) of the classic paranoid tale of invasion and body swapping, Abel Ferrara's severely underexposed Body Snatchers . This movie barely saw the light of a projector's booth when it first came out in 1993 but thanks to video tapes and television, it eventually found an audience.  Don't listen to Meg Tilly, there are at least a few people like you left here at O.K. Video. If you want to email us a question or concern we can be reached at ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca Thanks again for listening as our pod slowly grows into a fully formed creature.  - N 

O.K. Video Episode 4 : Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

O.K. Video Episode 4 : Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Protect your neck and gird your loins, as we jump into the sensual and mesmerizing world of vampires! This week we are taking a look at Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. This is the first bonafide hit we've covered on the show so far. Coppola takes us through a history lesson in film making to create this gorgeous film. As always if you have any questions you want answered on the show you can email us at either ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca. Until next time! -R

O.K. Video Episode 3 : Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)

O.K. Video Episode 3 Memoirs of an Invisible Man You know what they say, third time's the smarm.  Former comedy juggernaut Chevy Chase supplies that smug charm or "smarm" in this week's movie, Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Directed by John Carpenter, this movie is a weird  blend of thriller and comedy that only barely meets our criteria as a Monster Movie Remake in that it is based on a conceit from that Golden Age of creature features but with an 80s yuppie twist of citrus that may be too much for Ryan and Nathan to handle.  If you have any questions you want answered on the show you can email us at either ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca Thanks again for being part of the soft launch of the podcast. Hope you enjoy.  - N
