"Off the hook" is a phrase describing a disappointing, mundane, or unpleasant experience or event.
This refers to the scene the movie The Cell, where the hero suspends himself from the ceiling with hooks through his skin. It provides a sense of weightlessness and freedom from the stress of everyday life. Being forced off the hooks drags him back to the brutal realities of women using him to harm themselves.

Off The Hook is a Montréal radio show in English on CKUT FM. You can listen to it on ckut.ca if you don't live in Montréal. The disc jockeys are Orion Revolution, Budda Blaze, and Flow. The music played is underground rap, but thank God that I haven't heard any of that Anticon faggot shit on it yet. It is on between Midnight and 2 AM on Thursday mornings. At 1 AM starts a half-hour of freestyles, if you're wack you are cut off early, and everything is uncensored unless they were sent a radio edit for the show.
