It’s 2025 and there’s a whole new lineup of events in the works at Casa Video & Film Bar, located at 2905 E. Speedway Blvd. If you’ve been to the longstanding video store and craft beer and wine bar in recent months, you’re well aware of ODD DOGS.
The punk rock hot dog cart has been pulling up to Casa Video now and again, serving its longer-than-the-bun Franks like the Gas Station Dressed (your classic Circle K-style hot dog on steroids) and the Walker Texas Wiener. The latter is a meaty double-whammy loaded with pulled pork.
Spooky Sundays
So, now that it’s the new year, how about a little extra fear to rattle your bones?
Throughout January, Nate of ODD DOGS is teaming up with the Casa Video crew every Sunday for “Spooky Sundays.”
The video store will screen hand-selected films at 7 p.m. each Sunday in January while ODD DOGS vends hot dogs from 6 – 10 p.m. First up is “Drag Me To Hell” on Sunday, January 5.
Plus, there’s going to be prizes! Right before each film, they’ll have a brief trivia related to all things spooky. Get there early for a good seat!
The other movies in the queue are “Insidious,” “The Ring,” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
