Too Old or Pure Gold Movie Podcast

A Gen X creative whose career spans cannabis, clean tech, and media, but his real passion is stuck in a time warp somewhere between a VHS rental and a training montage. As the creator, producer, and co-host of Too Old or Pure Gold, Olen channels his lifelong love of 80s cinema, especially the high-kicking, synth-scored, gloriously weird corners of it, into a podcast that celebrates, critiques, and reexamines the movies that shaped a generation.

Jessica is the perfect blend of socialite glamour and genuine heart. Her honest reviews come from a place of real connection. She can relate to almost every character and brings a warmth that makes listeners feel like they’re chatting with a close friend. Her laugh is contagious, and her voice, mellifluous.

A proud Gen Xer, Kim is soft-spoken but when she speaks, her insights carry weight and wisdom. Bringing warmth and calm to every episode she joins, she often sits confidently in the host chair alongside Mathew, no easy task. Kim is the podcast’s tireless quality control, quietly reviewing every episode before release to ensure top-notch quality.

At 93, Pieter is the tireless heart of Pieter’s Plot Corner, watching and studying every film we cover, then delivering a brilliant and succinct plot summary for listeners who may not have seen (or survived) the movie in question. He missed a lot of these films in the '80s, but he’s catching up now, and loving (almost) every minute. Equally dedicated to the good and the awful, Pieter is an essential part of the podcast family and a fan favorite in his own right.

Will Corry is a stand-up comedian and the toughest critic on Too Old or Pure Gold. He doesn’t hand out compliments easily but if a movie wins Will over, it’s earned. Will’s razor-sharp takes and perfectly timed eye-rolls keep the rest of the panel honest.
