Pinball. Punch. They are what The Janitor lives for. No robotic serial killers can stop this man from taking his regularly scheduled break, cracking a punch and pounding the plungers to make that silver ball dance.  Our final Nicolas Cage film of this batch is Willy's Wonderland. Thanks for joining Ryan and Nathan at O.K. Video.  If you want to send us questions or feedback, tweet @okvideopodcast or email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca We are also on Instagram, okvideopodcast.  Next week is our ranking episode, but Nathan couldn't help but spoil what our next batch will be about in this one, so stay tuned for that. -N  Willy's Wonderland

It's the best episode of O.K. Video this week! Join Nathan and Ryan as we take a look at an overshadowed masterpiece from Martin Scorsese, his only film from the 90s not to receive a single glance from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, further damning them in our eyes. Nicolas Cage plays a burnt-out Frank Pierce, an EMS driver patrolling the nights of New York City, desperately looking for a person to save. Bringing Out the Dead, now available on Laserdisc! Fun fact, part of our intro sound effect is Nathan's very own LaserDisc player! If you want to interact with the show some more, we are now on Instagram, okvideopodcast, Twitter @okvideopodcast and, of course, you can send us a good ol' fashion E-Mail, via ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca -N Bringing Out the Dead

Nathan and Ryan haven’t actually READ Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief , but they are pretty confident they got the gist of it in this week’s investigation of Donald Kaufman’s Masterpiece, Adaptation. Then we get sucked into a vortex of grumbling about the Oscars that eats up all of our question time. If you want to hurl a question into the vortex for a future episode, email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca You can also keep taps on us via Twitter @okvideopodcast and Nathan converted his instagram into okvideopodcast and is trying to figure out that part of the social network landscape if you are so inclined. Thanks for visiting our little show and our celebration of The Best Actor. -N Adaptation

  In 1990 a man named David Green directed a film featuring Nicolas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones. It had helicopters. And it was not very good. Welcome to O.K. Video Batch 4, an ongoing celebration of the work of Nicolas Cage, the Best Actor. Despite his abilities, this film never quite...takes flight. Eye dominance, Sean Young, Phil Collins, whatever the issue is, it just doesn't come together, but we squeeze all the juice we can out of this 86 minute lemon.  If you want to send us a query, email ryan@okvideo.ca or nathan@okvideo.ca We are also on Twitter @okvideopodcast Thanks for listening! -N Fire Birds
