Talk Is Jericho: The Outsiders House – Danny Boy O’Connor Turns Movie History Into A Cultural Landmark

Danny Boy O’Connor from House of Pain returns to update the incredible story behind The Outsiders House Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma! He explains how a random tour stop and a $15,000 gamble turned into a lifelong passion project preserving one of the most iconic movie sets in pop culture history. Danny details the painstaking process of restoring the dilapidated home used in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Outsiders, how he tracked down rare memorabilia including Matt Dillon’s leather jacket, Rob Lowe’s flannel, and Coppola’s director’s chair, and how community donations from the likes of Jack White, Billy Idol, and The Outsiders author S.E. Hinton herself helped make it all possible. Danny also discusses transforming the house into a Tulsa landmark, the thousands of students who tour it annually, and the upcoming Outsiders House Benefit, which aims to raise funds for an S.E. Hinton Museum. Plus, Danny shares stories about meeting the original cast, his favorite moments from the movie, and what “Stay Gold” really means to him.
