OME Presents: What Did We Just Watch

Nothing

July 01, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 158 MB

When I started this podcast, my inspiration was taken from my own experience with friends having Video Nights at least once a week for a few years at one of those friends’ houses. That friend is this episode’s guest, and it’s been a long time coming. But you ARE somewhat familiar with previous guest/co-host Jon […] The post Nothing by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Motorama

June 03, 2020 11:27 - 44 minutes - 63.7 MB

Finally, we get to talk about Motorama. This 1991 film was a solitary staple for me in my late high school years. I knew no one who had talked of seeing it. It had a good run on HBO or Cinemax (both since they are owned by the same folks swap movies all the time). […] The post Motorama by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

I bought a vampire Motorcycle

May 06, 2020 11:00 - 50 minutes - 116 MB

There’s really not much to preface this episode with as far as show notes goes. This movie title “I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle” is as good a summary of the film as ever, though you’ll hear Jon contest this as a demon bike rather than a vampire bike. Anyway, it’s fun, sloppy, super low budget, […] The post I bought a vampire Motorcycle by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Rumble Fish

April 01, 2020 11:00 - 48 minutes - 112 MB

Hot on the heels of our discussion about nutsoid sci-fi horror teen farce Detention, comes an episode about another teen film, but one that’s mostly forgotten, in spite of Criterion reissuing a super deluxe version on blu-ray: Frances Ford Coppola’s direction of S.E. Hinton’s Rumble Fish. When we think of teen movies, we think of […] The post Rumble Fish by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Detention

March 04, 2020 12:00 - 42 minutes - 98.4 MB

Recently I’ve come to understand that I like some teen movies. Previous to this realization I claimed that I didn’t like teen movies much at all, but upon examination the opposite would be true. And while there are few titles that could be included on my show here (Bill & Ted, Weird Science, Better Off […] The post Detention by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Belladonna of Sadness

February 05, 2020 12:00 - 43 minutes - 64.8 MB

It’s a rare thing that I’ll accept this deviation from the norm here. Usually we cover strange films that feature mostly practical special effects, sometimes cg animation but never, until now, have we covered a fully animated feature. Belladonna of Sadness isn’t JUST an animated film, but it’s an anime from 1973! And it’s not […] The post Belladonna of Sadness by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Xtro

January 01, 2020 12:00 - 41 minutes - 95.7 MB

Like Making Contact, our film for this episode, XTRO, desperately wants to be a Speilberg movie. It doesn’t succeed in being that, but it is presented in marketing as a sort of horror response to Close encounters of the Third Kind & even more so, E.T. the Extraterrestrial. My guest on this show is writer […] The post Xtro by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Hudsucker Proxy

December 04, 2019 12:00 - 53 minutes - 87.1 MB

I think I’ll keep this one pretty short. This is the final episode of the year. The film is Hudsucker Proxy and the guest is the old standby, Jon. This is, for both of us, a favorite film from the first time either of us first watched it. It belongs on this show because it […] The post Hudsucker Proxy by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Eden Log

November 06, 2019 12:00 - 39 minutes - 58.1 MB

I often skimp on talking about the directors of the films we discuss. I suppose it’s because I’m more interested in the film itself than the behind the scenes trivia, and I don’t exactly like to flex my knowledge on such (whether I have the info or not, and I don’t often consult search engines […] The post Eden Log by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

SPOOKIES

October 02, 2019 11:00 - 55 minutes - 91.5 MB

It’s that time again, kiddies. The Spookiest time of the year! It’s October and as such it’s time to feature a creepier than usual flick. So, I’ve chosen 1986’s SPOOKIES. Full disclosure, I have seen this one time before this viewing, and that was last year when I first learned of the film. Or should […] The post SPOOKIES by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

the Last Action Hero

September 04, 2019 11:00 - 47 minutes - 109 MB

I’m not sure if I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger’s attempt at a meta satire of the Hollywood action movie, the Last Action Hero in the cinema. I probably did. I know I saw Jurassic Park (which came out the same day) but I saw that one much later, and maybe on VHS…and full disclosure, I was […] The post the Last Action Hero by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

NOWHERE

August 07, 2019 12:42 - 50 minutes - 71.5 MB

Nothing screams summer to me more than ‘teen movies’ made in sunny Southern California. They don’t even have to be set during the summer. California is ideal for year round shooting for a reason after all. So, why not have a guest from So Cal for this episode about Gregg Araki’s Teenage Apocalypse flick NOWHERE? […] The post NOWHERE by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Meet the Hollowheads

July 03, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 122 MB

1989 was not a strong year for conventional film. But for weirdo movies, it did OK. For example, this episode is about Meet the Hollowheads (otherwise known as Life on the edge). Written by Lisa Morton & Tom Burman with Burman directing, Hollowheads is possibly the strangest pg-13 movie to come out of ’89, maybe […] The post Meet the Hollowheads by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Godzilla Final Wars

June 05, 2019 11:00 - 48 minutes - 68.4 MB

In 65 years since his debut as a metaphor for the dangers of nuclear weapons, Godzilla has gone from terrifying monster to pop culture darling. He has done battle with various Kaiju creatures (including the mighty King Kong,) and even some lesser known foes such as Marvel Comic’s Avengers and even some famous sportsball player […] The post Godzilla Final Wars by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

the Reflecting Skin

May 01, 2019 11:00 - 50 minutes - 66.3 MB

We started off the year, and continued, with (four months of) schlocky nonsense. I mean a LOT of it. So it’s high time we have a change around here, if only for one episode, before we jump back to doing silly weirdo movies, let’s dig into 1990’s surreal childhood drama, The Reflecting Skin. Joining me […] The post the Reflecting Skin by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Mechanical Violator Hakaider

April 03, 2019 11:00 - 39 minutes - 50.3 MB

This episode delves into cinematic territory that we have not quite entered or even entertained here on the show. Tokusatsu: Japanese special effects driven superhero stories. Specifically, Mechanical Violator Hakaider. This film is a mid-90s reboot/spinoff of a villain character from the old 1970s Android Kikaider show. Yet here, he’s presented as a mysterious antihero […] The post Mechanical Violator Hakaider by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog o...

FREAKED

March 06, 2019 12:00 - 47 minutes - 62.3 MB

This episode sees the return of Michael Cook, primary host of all the shows from Retro Rocket Entertainment, & co-host to the first show I’ve ever been a part of, Videonight! On our first go-round here on WDWJW?!? Michael played it relatively safe with Hudson Hawk, a film so ‘normal’ in its plot but so weird in […] The post FREAKED by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

February 06, 2019 18:05 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MB

This episode threw me for a loop, rather. Jon Threw me for a loop. You’ll hear how/why in this episode soon enough. But let me just say, Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters is the most Sam Raimi movie that isn’t directed or produced by Sam Raimi. This is a major sticking point with me on […] The post Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Dream a little dream

November 05, 2018 12:00 - 54 minutes - 124 MB

Consider this episode a bit of a palate cleanser from all the creepy spooky flicks you’ve undoubtedly gorged yourself on last month*. The film we discuss is 1989’s Dream A Little Dream that features Coreys Feldman and Haim as best pals who stumble upon a wacky sci-fi plot involving sunglasses…WAIT! No! That’s the 1994 sequel […] The post Dream a little dream by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Waxwork Duology

October 03, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 111 MB

It’s October! And that means a glut of scary and macabre movies to gorge on! Last episode had us warming up with the very fun loving comedy-horror-sci-fi farce Freaks of Nature. This month has us exploring vintage horror vignettes by way of the Waxwork Duology! The two films star Zach Galligan (yes, Billy from Gremlins) […] The post Waxwork Duology by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

FREAKS OF NATURE

September 05, 2018 21:29 - 52 minutes - 80.2 MB

It’s that time of year again when so many folks jump early at the prospect of celebrating Halloween. So, to appease such people, we’ve taken this month’s episode, September, to prompt our dear listeners to view and enjoy a strange and funny movie called Freaks of Nature. (If you have yet watched it, we’ve provided […] The post FREAKS OF NATURE by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Making Contact – aka – Joey

August 07, 2018 11:00 - 54 minutes - 84.6 MB

On this, all new and terribly exciting episode, Dan Pullen from the Four Brains One Movie podcast joins me to more or less wax nostalgic about films from the 1980s. In particular, we dig into Hollywood blockbuster director Roland Emmerich’s second feature film, 1985’s kids-in-peril flick Making Contact (aka Joey). This film is either a love […] The post Making Contact – aka – Joey by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

Nothing But Trouble

June 12, 2018 11:00 - 59 minutes - 137 MB

Erich and his smooth voice joins me once again as we discuss this comedy take on the classic horror plot of folks stuck in some old backwater town with its homicidal residents. Usually it’s someone passing through, probably from the “big city”, who crosses the local yokels somehow (think Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wrong Turn, The […] The post Nothing But Trouble by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

CATHY’S CURSE

May 02, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MB

In this episode, Elbee and I discuss the 1977 film Cathy’s Curse. Oh, you’ve never heard of Cathy’s Curse? Well, neither had we until very recently. But what I heard is that it’s a “totally weird and insane” movie. So of course I just had to seek it out (thanks to OME’s own George Dean, […] The post CATHY’S CURSE by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.

YOR – THE HUNTER OF THE FUTURE

April 04, 2018 11:00 - 47 minutes - 74.5 MB

Today’s guest is “The Mike”. He’s the writer of the blog The Mike’s Double Feature Picture Show. I know The Mike through Twitter, and he’s quickly become one of my favorite tweeters (except for when he posts about sports! Boo, sports!) But he’s a very positive presence on Film-Twitter™️, which is why I like him so much.

JOHNNY MNEMONIC

March 07, 2018 12:00 - 45 minutes - 103 MB

The year is 1995 and the hot thing(s) on the scene are Keanu Reeves and the newest and wildest frontier yet to be tamed: The Internet. Reeves had been making a name for himself in Hollywood as a kind of bankable maverick. He proved capable of holding his own in smaller teen films (The Night […] The post JOHNNY MNEMONIC by Andrew Bargeron appeared first on Ouch My Ego! - Music, Art, & Culture Blog of the Rio Grande Valley.
