O.K. Video Batch 2 Episode 8 Battlefield Earth

We try to keep things focused here at O.K. Video, but the sheer amount of incredulity that had to be burned through in order to adequately discuss Franchise Pictures crowning "achievement", Battlefield Earth, took time. Time that Ryan and Nathan were happy to spend as this movie is something else. John Travolta's passion project, L. Ron Hubbard's last major work of science fiction, Forest Whitaker's stepping stone to an Academy Award six years later. Kim Coates beating his chest, Barry Pepper's lack of facial hair, Roger Christian's return to scrappy, under-budgeted sci-fi, all this and more is featured in this very podcast episode. Thank-you for joining us.

If you have questions you'd like read and answered on a future episode, please email nathan@okvideo.ca

Can you decipher reality? What if you played a game where you're pulled into a reality so deep you don't know what's real anymore? Welcome to eXistenZ. Nathan and Ryan are going back to our fellow Canadian, and director of the first feature of this podcast, David Cronenberg.

O.K. Video 90s Cyberpunk 7 The Thirteenth Floor

Virtual Reality. Hot subject in 1999, and despite being somewhat late to the party, The Thirteenth Floor still squeaks into our 90s Cyberpunk batch. Thanks for joining us. Ryan and Nathan had pretty different experiences with this one, but manage to find some conversation fruit about artificial intelligence, video games and the ethics of killing NPCs. We then dive into a discussion about great horror movie monsters.  If you'd like to send in some questions for future shows, email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca We are also on Hive and Instagram, okvideopodcast, and BlueSky, OKVideo.
