This episode, we watched the Stephen Sommers film from 2013, Odd Thomas.Is it just Odd or are you sick of just trying to work your satisfying job of feeding all of your family and friends in your quaint, albeit probably hot and sticky, desert town but your life is continually interrupted by death-loving spirit monsters?Is it just Odd? Nobody else out there has to deal with the fearsome nonsense he has to put up with day after day? That's kind of a bummer.But hey, he does it with grace and aplomb. If you ever find yourself at the losing end of a creepy haunting/possession/poltergeist, then there's only one person you should ever consider going to for help.He's casually cool, he's got the best emotional support in the world, and he's totally… Odd.(Recorded on June 09, 2022)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:Odd Thomas (2013) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Stephen Sommers — The Movie Database (TMDB)Anton Yelchin — The Movie Database (TMDB)Addison Timlin — The Movie Database (TMDB)Willem Dafoe — The Movie Database (TMDB)Gugu Mbatha-Raw — The Movie Database (TMDB)John Constantine - WikipediaMeet Joe Black (1998) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Dean Koontz - WikipediaSin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Incredibles 2 (2018) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Top Gun: Maverick (2022) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Suicide Squad (2016) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Murder, She Wrote (TV Series 1984–1996) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Bruce Lee - WikipediaDick Tracy - WikipediaSpider-Man (TV Series 1994–1998) — The Movie Database (TMDB)The Batman (2022) — The Movie Database (TMDB)The Mummy (1999) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Deadpool 2 (2018) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Scrubs (TV Series 2001–2010) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Follow Us:Give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Our Instagram profile!Our Twitter profile!

Book: Odd Thomas By Dean Koontz Film: Odd Thomas (2013)   Published in 2003, Odd Thomas is about a short order cook who is visited by a ghost of a young girl who has been brutally raped and murdered.  The novel would kick off a series of six novels based on the chronicles of Odd Thomas and would lead to a film and graphic novel.  Odd Thomas would be one of Dean Koontz most loved and critically acclaimed character and series.  Odd Thomas (2013)   Odd Thomas is a supernatural mystery thriller directed by Stephen Somner who also wrote the screenplay and co-produced.  It stars that late Anton Yelchin.  This would Stephen Somner's last film to direct to date with his next project caught in production hell since  2005. The film was a box office bomb due to law suits and mismanagement of release.  The film would find its audience on streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu.  The film has also been reassessed by critics who consider this as one of the better Koontz adaptions. We are joined by writer and scriptwriter, Barry Waldo.   Opening Credits; Introduction (1.39); Plot Synopsis (9.13); Forming the Plot (17.15); Book Thoughts (51.07); Introducing a Film (52.11); Film Trailer (53.14);  Lights, Camera, Action (55.41); Epilogue (1:34.38); End Credits (1:38.31); Closing Credits (1:40.03) Opening Credits– Classical Jingle by Dan Hughes  Closing Credits – Ghost In My Life by Wolf Gang from the album Alveron.  Copyright 2014 Cherry Tree, Interscope and Polydor records   Original Music copyrighted 2020 Dan Hughes Music and the Literary License Podcast.     All rights reserved.

This week on the Video Junkyard Podcast we take a look at the 2013 American supernatural mystery thriller "Odd Thomas". Starring Anton Yelchin, Addison Timlin, Willem Dafoe, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, this adaptation of the successful Dean Koontz novel series tells of supernatural detective/fry cook Odd Thomas who (using his own tagline) can see dead people and then "by God, does something about it". With a plot that twists and turns and a tone that weaves between comedy, drama, and supernatural thriller, "Odd Thomas" definitely lives up to its name. But is it good? Check out the film on TubiTV or Amazon Prime, then join us on the Video Junkyard Podcast for the review!

This week we're talking about the fantastic Odd Thomas. In no way is it frustrating. Not even a little. 

Uncle Ben and Hollywood Steve are talking about Odd Thomas. We discuss weird stuff we thought was normal as kids, Steve trashes Dean Koontz, and we are full of insane tangents. Stick around to the end to hear our improvised country song "Country Stuff"!

Law versus Grace, One master versus another master. Is your master Law, which enslaves you to a Standard that is unobtainable and which causes you to look down and judge others, and ultimately hate them? Or is your master Grace from Christ Jesus, who frees us from the standards of law and freedom from being under Sin? The resurrection of Christ Jesus, the rock being rolled back from the Tomb, not only freed Christ Jesus, but freed us from Sin, Slavery and Satan. Join us as we delve deeper into the entire meaning of the resurrection and Grace through our Lord Christ Jesus…

In this week's interview we get to listen in on a conversation with Michael Metcalf and Jason Petty. Jason, better known by his stage name Propaganda, is an American Christian hip hop and spoken word artist and poet from Los Angeles, California. He has released seven albums as an independent artist, including one collaborative album with Odd Thomas and one with Derek Minor, and has performed and recorded as a member of the underground hip hop group Tunnel Rats and associated act Footsoldiers. In his very early childhood, his family moved into a violent, ethnically Mexican neighborhood. As the only black child in the area, he was often teased due to his skin color. Later, his family moved again, this time to the suburbs, where his family was known as the "poor black family." He learned to rap, and also took up dance, graffiti, and formal drawing and painting.

On this week's episode, Dave, John and Jeff discuss two monumental achievements in film from the year 2013, before redeeming a critical and commercial misfire from the same year. We begin by discussing whether The Wolf of Wall Street glorifies the destructive lifestyle of Leonardo DiCaprio's real life antihero Jordan Belfort. We then discuss Spike Jonze's Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix, to see how well the pacing and tone of the film's futuristic love story hold up. We conclude with little known darling film Odd Thomas, starring Anton Yelchin (RIP) and Willem Dafoe: was it really that bad?  Music: soundcloud.com/dasein-artist. Beer: @cbarrozobar2019.

Special Birthday Episode! My Birthday was a couple of weeks ago, so I asked you for film recommendations as "gifts" and you delivered with some fun and quality films. From ones I knew of and was looking forward to, like The Straight Story and Barking Dogs Never Bite, to the ones I had never heard of like Fat City and Odd Thomas. Check out my thoughts on all of them, as well as some thoughts from those that recommended them. Thanks!Music: Joseph McDade - ElevationBlade Runner clip (c) Warner Bros.

What more can you say about Dean Koontz? He's one of the most prolific writers ever, and one of the most popular writers of the 20th and 21st Century. Dean has done almost everything a writer can do, but late in his career he decided it was time to do something different. Signing with Amazon for a novella series, that includes six stories that all roll together called "Nameless". Amazon Prime members will get the books for FREE! Yep, you heard that right, FREE for Prime Members. We were lucky enough to be invited to Dean's house and have a great three hour conversation with him. You will hear the the hour long interview we had with Dean, sitting in his office. The "Nameless" series consists of these six books: IN THE HEART OF THE FIRE, PHOTOGRAPHING THE DEAD, THE PRAYING MANTIS BRIDE, RED RAIN, THE MERCY OF SNAKES and MEMORIES OF TOMORROW.

"I may see dead people, but, by God, I do something about it." Mining book series for films is an all to frequent occurrence. Some are able to successfully make the transition from page to screen, while others struggle. The Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz would seem an ideal source to tap for a film adaptation. This month JJ and Steve visit Pico Mundo to solve a mystery with Odd Thomas in a very special Anton Yelchin memorial Trailer Rewind episode. They discuss the unique tone of the film and how it balances the horror, mystery, and comedy components of the story to create an enjoyable and light film. They talk about the mixed strengths of the cast and special effects and how they create a world that's grounded in reality yet is infused with elements of an idealized small town. It's a quirky film that's ripe for viewing as a Halloween treat for teens.
