Ollie Pop: Pop Culture & Stuff

We're back! Artificial Intelligence seems to be all over the news lately. Now it's all over your favorite podcast! This new episode was written by ChatGPT and well, let's just say that ChatGPT shouldn't quit its day job! After we run out of generated script, it becomes more of a freewheeling Ollie Pop discussion featuring Ollie, Uncles Justin and Gavin, and Barack Obama!

We are back and we're talking 'bout the big movies that are out now and releasing through the summer! That's right, we cover Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 (mild spoilers, nothing major), Shazam 2 (stinger scene spoiler ahead, oops), Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and Super Mario Bros along with some movies we haven't seen yet like Asteroid City, Across the Spiderverse, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1, Dune Part 2, and some other stuff. If you've got an Arby's D&D dice connection, let Ollie know.This episode is sponsored by Dreamer's Furniture! Visit dreamersfurniture.com!

It's Olliewood's biggest night! Join your hosts, Ollie, Uncle Jus, and Uncle Gan as they celebrate the finest in movies, TV, and podcast episodes. Don't miss special appearances by Christoph Waltz, President Barack Obama, Bane, Huckleberry Hound, Bob Dylan, the Big Bopper hologram, Puss in Boots, Benoit Blanc, Snagglepuss, and MORE! The Ollies are sponsored by Zimmy Mattress, TwikiStamps.biz, and Macca Mattress.

We're back with more movie talk, Oscar predictions, and another round of the Movie Game. Once again, disgusting jelly bean penalties are in effect. Who will win? You'll have to tune in to find out! And get ready for the next episode in a couple weeks: The 2nd Annual Ollie Awards!

It has been quite a while since we posted an episode! I'll bet you wondered if we were gonna come back at all! We have returned with a 2022 recap episode discussing all the news along with a list of movies we enjoyed in 2022, both new and older releases included. Uncle Jus also has a short list with some of the worst movies of the year (in his opinion, anyway). Check it out!

We're back again with an assessment of the current Marvel phase of movies and TV. While Wakanda Forever and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special haven't hit screens yet, Ollie and Uncle Justin rank everything else that has. Well, mostly Ollie ranks them, since Uncle Justin has only seen about 5% of the Phase 4 output. But he still reads the spoilers, so that's slightly better than nothing? Check it out!

Welcome back, Ollie Pop fans! This episode, we're taking a look at candy — best, worst, just kinda OK, all of it. Ollie and Uncle Jus have a list of the top five best and the top five worst candies (at least in their opinion). We also taste test a few candies, if there are any ASMR people out there that like to listen to chewing. Check it out!

Whoa, it's been a little while, hasn't it? Oops! But hey, Ollie and Uncle Justin are back with a rundown of the approximately 247 upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows and movies coming down the pipeline. We're talking Phase 4, Phase 5, Phase 6... we're getting phased out over here! What else is in the news? You hear about this? You hear about all this Warner Brothers Discovery business? More like Warner Brothers Let's Hide This Somewhere, am I right? [Insert Kevin Eubanks laugh] 

Welcome to Season 2 of Ollie Pop! In this episode, Ollie and Uncle Jus rank three types of starter Pokémon based on preference (or general appearance in the case of Uncle Justin, who hasn't paid much attention to Pokémon in the last quarter century or so). Who will come out on top? You might guess Pikachu. And yeah, you'd be pretty much correct. Whether you're an expert or a novice, there's plenty to enjoy! Gotta catch 'em all, etc.

We're back with a new episode featuring Uncles Gavin and Justin for our first fantasy draft! Each participant gets to pick one DC character, one Marvel, one Star Wars/Trek, one Disney/Pixar, and one wild card to create an unbeatable superteam! Who will come out on top? You'll have to tune in to find out! This episode was recorded over the interwebs, so if you hear intermittent echoes, that's why. But hey, it's worth it to figure out if Spock could beat Gandalf or if Sully from Monsters Inc. stands a chance against Thor.

We're back! This episode features Ollie, Uncle Justin, Producer Mom, Producer Maddy, Producer Aunt Staci, and (Producer?) Gus, who have all come together to compete in the Big Movie Quiz, a game that Gus got in his Easter basket. The questions are from categories like Comedy Classics, Action Movies, and the Oscars. And nothing else. Just those three things. Play along at home and see how well you do!

In this episode Ollie, Uncle Jus, and Producer Mom run through the upcoming summer movies with a little help from a Parade Magazine we found. Then they go over the results each of them got on the OpenPsychometrics.org personality test that reveals which characters from pop culture you most resemble. See if you can guess who is going to match with Barry Allen AKA The Flash, C-3PO, Ted Mosby (ugh), Winston Bishop (yay), and perhaps most inexplicably: Baby from Baby Driver! Take the test yourself and tell us who your matches are!

In this episode of Ollie Pop, we set up a recording booth in the middle of a family Easter party and interviewed as many family members as possible (some who have never been on the podcast before!) about their favorite movies of all time. This was after the egg hunt and many candies had been eaten so the little cousins were in overdrive, but somehow we got a podcast recorded anyway! We cover a lot of movies throughout history, so there's something for everybody in this one. Enjoy!

Join Ollie and a cavalcade of special guests for the first annual Ollie Awards! It's gotta be better than the Oscars, right? This award show celebrates the finest in snacks, movies, TV, and more! Featuring special appearances by Uncle Justin, Peachy Microphone, Producer Aunt Staci, Producer Mom, Gus, Lucky the Pizza Dog, President Barack Obama, Jason Momoa, Doug the Pug, Bob Dylan, Astro from The Jetsons, and Jack Nicholson! Get your ballots ready and have a listen!

Ollie and Uncle Jus are tackling the movie-based-on-a-video-game genre in this week's episode as they each highlight a list of their ten favorites. From Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter all the way to the many, many Pokemon movies, there are movies from just about every chapter in video game history to discuss. It's also going to be Ollie's birthday this week! Happy birthday, Ollie! Speaking of Ollie and annual events, stay tuned at the end of this episode for a tease of what's coming up in episode 21!

Join Ollie and Uncle Jus with their very special guest, Pop-Pop, to discuss all things James Bond-related. Make sure you watch No Time to Die before you listen (or if you haven't, we hope that you don't care about big ol' spoilers for the movie). Who's the best Bond? Who should be the next Bond? What's the best Bond theme? Would people watch an action movie where the secret agent is named Silly Billy? The answers to these questions and a five-year-old doing a lean and mean Bond impression await you in the new episode of Ollie Pop.OLLIE POP WILL RETURN (like, y'know, in a week or so)

It's movie game time again on Ollie Pop and that means we're also eating more potentially gross beans. Ollie, Uncle Jus, and Aunt Staci are the competitors and whoever wins gets to pick the topic for the next episode! A good time was had by all and will be had by you when you put this episode in your earholes. Don't forget to check out OlliePop on Letterboxd and OlliePopPod on Facebook and Instagram!

Uncle Gan returns as we do an overly-mathematical appraisal of whether the best DC movies are better than the best Marvel movies. Also a realistic simulation of Peachy Microphone drops by to weigh in on some of his faves! Does Uncle Justin have a future as a Bane impersonator? What's Ollie watching on TV these days? How does Olipop the soda stack up to Ollie Pop the podcast? Will Ollie's sound effect machine ever get a Kelly Bundy setting? All these questions and like, maybe, three more will be answered on this extra uncle-y episode of Ollie Pop!

Ollie and Uncle Justin run through the movies they're most excited about seeing in 2022. There sure are a lot of superhero movies coming out. And the Chris Pratt as Mario discussion is reignited a little bit, because seriously, why have they done this? Let us know on Facebook or Instagram what movies you're looking forward to this year!

Welcome to 2022, Ollie Pop fans! But before we talk about the new year, we've gotta take out the trash from last year! Ollie and Uncle Justin present their five least favorite movies from 2021 with a little help from Ollie's new sound effect box and Uncle Justin's Stinker Patrol. What movies will make the list? You've gotta tune in and find out!

In this year-end episode, Ollie and Uncle Justin run through the best movies (that they saw) that were released in 2021. Uncle Justin missed quite a few movies this year, so he includes the best 2021 movies that he didn't see. They also talk about  the best movies from any year that they watched in 2021. Wrapping up, there's a little bit of talk about what they're looking forward to seeing in 2022 (Spoiler alert: Mostly Idris Elba as Knuckles in Sonic 2).

In this ho-ho-holiday episode, Ollie runs through the Home Alone movies, Turns out there are like, six of 'em, including Home Sweet Home Alone which was just released on Disney Plus. Is it the best one yet? Spoiler alert: Noooooope. Also, Uncle Justin ranks his top five Xmas movie classics and Ollie gets schooled by Aunt Staci about stop motion animation.

After a few weeks off, Ollie Pop is back with another edition of The Movie Game, but with a beany twist. Ollie, Aunt Staci, and Uncle Justin have to guess each other's movies correctly or else face a Russian roulette of "Beanboozled" jellybeans. Might be a good bean, might be a bad bean (might be a LOT of bad beans). Who will win? Are they ready to face the #DOUBLETHEMEBEANBOSS? Who will end up eating Punishment Beans? All these questions and more (beans) will be revealed in the new episode of Ollie Pop!

Yeah, Halloween was a week ago, what about it? Ollie and Uncle Justin rate the scariest movie monsters of all time!  Who will be crowned the scariest of all? Ya better listen and find out! Also, Ollie has seen zero of these movies cuz he's smol. But he did look at pictures of the monsters beforehand, so it's probably fine?

In this mini episode, Ollie ranks the nine episodes of the new Marvel cartoon show What If..? which Uncle Justin only watched two episodes of. What if there was an episode where we didn't eat and crinkle Werther's Originals? You won't find out any time soon! Maybe if there was ever a worldwide shortage or something.

In this one Ollie and Uncle Justin run through the 24 Pixar movies that exist as of this recording and rank them in order of goodness. There's also a little bit of Mario talk and Ollie's review of the Emmy Awards. Not to mention Uncle Justin's soon to be famous Wall*E impression. Oops, we mentioned it.

Ollie and Uncle Justin look at the movies they've rated five stars on Letterboxd as well as the the other end of the ranking: Movies that they only rated 1/2 a star. Don't adjust your airpods, you are indeed hearing a few background candy crinkles and the faint sound of a four-year-old playing a board game down the hallway, or as we like to call it, the Ollie Pop ambiance. Stay tuned at the end for a guest appearance by Peachy Microphone and his five favorite movies!

In this episode, Ollie and his guests (Uncle Justin and Aunt Staci) compete in THE MOVIE GAME to win part of a bag of Skittles! The loser has to eat a spicy mochi rice nugget. I hope you enjoy popcorn ASMR, because this episode has quite a bit of it.

In this episode, Ollie and Uncle Justin  review a movie with a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes and one that until recently had a 100% score: Pinocchio (2002) and Paddington 2. This episode also features producer Aunt Staci chiming in with some Pinocchio facts. Yes, there is some Werther's talk but this time they're only one part of what Ollie dubs "The Whole Snackzone." Maybe we should have eaten rotten and fresh tomatoes? Oh well.

It's time to talk about DC Comics! In this extra-sized episode, Ollie ranks the current run of DC movies with DC superfans/superuncles Uncle Justin and Uncle Gavin! This episode also debuts an exciting new feature called "A Few Minutes with Gus"!

In this episode, Ollie ranks the Star Wars movies (including Rogue One and Solo) with Uncle Justin, who has not seen Rogue One or Solo, but is able to rank all nine "episode" movies. Also, can a parody of Star Wars turn out to be better than Star Wars? Listen and find out!

In this mini-episode, Ollie runs down the various cameos Stan Lee made in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (plus a couple bonus appearances) with his increasingly less special (since he's been in every episode) guest, Uncle Justin. Stay tuned for some butterscotch ASMR at the end!

Episode 002 - July 13, 2021Since Black Widow just hit theaters and streaming, this episode of Ollie Pop has Ollie ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies with Uncle Justin. Stay tuned for our future podcast venture, RatTalk, a podcast that ranks the best rats. This episode was not sponsored by Werther's, Gatorade, or dollar store animal crackers. Ball's in your court, dudes.

Episode 001 - July 6, 2021In the first episode of Ollie Pop, Ollie talks about top 5 movies and TV shows with his special guest, Uncle Justin. This episode was NOT sponsored by butterscotch hard candies but that could change if the Werther's people reach out to our people. Let's make a deal!
