We begin with the 1993 […]
DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 372: MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF TANGENTS Chris and John seem distracted this week. It's not because we don't have some interesting films to discuss, like one of the most popular adaptations of the Arthurian saga of all time, two love it or hate it horror films from 2025, and one of […]
THEY WILL KILL YOU MOVIE REVIEW Russian writer/director Kirill Sokolov (Why Don't You Just Die!) is continuing on with his actiony weirdness wearing its influences on its sleeve with They Will Kill You.

THE GRAY HOUSE SERIES REVIEW Sam Houston once said “Let me tell you what is coming.

They are not fiery, impulsive people as you […]
MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE MOVIE REVIEW Writer director BenDavid Grabinski steps into the spotlight with the soft sci-fi crime caper Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. Not to be confused with the 1969 rom-dram Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Grabinski's film takes place over the course of one tumultuous […]
BUDDY MOVIE REVIEW “It's Buddy” is an older children's tv show centered around a lovable orange unicorn who lives in a clubhouse with lots of Pee-Wee's Playhouse style anthropomorphic friends (the mailbox, the couch, a child's backpack, etc).

I LOVE BOOSTERS MOVIE REVIEW Writer/Director Boots Riley made his bizarre debut in 2018 with the enormously popular Sorry to Bother You.

NORMAL MOVIE REVIEW A decade ago if you told me that Bob Odenkirk was going to have a rebirth as a brutal action movies star, I would have assumed you were talking about a Mr. Show sketch that I must have forgotten about. But here we are, first with the Nobody series, and now he […]
HOKUM MOVIE REVIEW While Irish director Damian McCarthy is a big name in the serious horror fan community, especially after two fantastic films Caveat (2020) and Oddity (2024), his latest film Hokum that premiered at SXSW might just be the one to break him wide. Adam Scott plays Ohm, a successful author on a trip […]

POWER BALLAD MOVIE REVIEW If you don't recognize the name of the director of Power Ballad, John Carney, you should.

PROJECT HAIL MARY MOVIE REVIEW Waking up in deep space on a ship with the only other crew members dead and with no knowledge of how you got there on a one-way trip to save the universe is one of my greatest fears. I'm sure if it was more likely to happen it would rank […]
UNDERTONE MOVIE REVIEW We here at oneofus.net have some experience with recording/editing podcasts all alone at night in spooky houses (some of us doing it while a beloved family member lies dying nearby). For those of us who can identify, this is a potentially very unsettling situation. Thus it is for Evy (Nina Kiri) who […]
FOR WORSE MOVIE REVIEW Winter is wrapping up and romance is in the air, whether you're a young adult taking your first steps into a relationship or an adult abandoning the burning wreckage of a sinking relationship.

THE BRIDE! MOVIE REVIEW The 2020s seem to be the era of the return of the Universal monster. Not that you'd always recognize them as such.

DREAMS MOVIE REVIEW Whenever I see a movie about marginalized groups of people in pursuit of a better life, I am tempted to quote Steinbeck and the nightmare that is the American dream. I'm not going to do that to introduce this film though I will quote the character Professor Walter Vale played by Richard […]
UNDERCARD MOVIE REVIEW There are several ways to explain it but this obscure quote might help: “He who conquers the left side conquers the world, chief”. What does it mean? Work your jab. In theaters and featuring the Florida boxing locations of Liberty City and Miami, Undercard is led by Wanda Sykes in her first […]
HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY EP.4: BEVERLY HILLS MADAM/BARFLY/DON JUAN DEMARCO Next up on Hollywood Royalty: Dunaway After Crawford, we head west to actual Hollywood (and thereabouts) for a collection of movies that sees Faye take on three different types of California women in three vastly different films. First up, Faye plays the boss of a group of […]
BREAKDOWN: 1975 MOVIE REVIEW At times, film has the power to give a voice to the voiceless and speak truth to a power that would ignore those voices. When a culture shifts its thinking and changes the method and way stories are told about people, and the world in general, a massive culture shift can […]
TRASH ON THE TUBE: STEEL MAGNOLIAS A year after our previous installment because we forgot we do mini-episodes, Trash on the Tube is back!

What begins as […]
THIS IS NOT A TEST MOVIE REVIEW Suburban living can be tough when your dad won't get off your back about skipping class, and your Mom isn't around to provide that parental balance, and your older sister bailed on the family.

THE MUPPET SHOW TV SPECIAL REVIEW The Muppet Show premiered on TV in 1976.

CRIME 101 MOVIE REVIEW We love a good heist movie, especially when it focuses on both the cops and the robbers as primary characters. Here, in writer/director Bart Layton's Crime 101 you've got a lot of the genre tropes ticking. There's the good master thief (Chris Hemsworth) who never lets anyone get hurt and has […]
TRASH IN THE CAN: RAMPAGE This week, the boys completely lose the plot (through no fault of their own) as they tackle 1997's Rampage. Comedian Brendan K. O'Grady joins the chaos to help decipher a vigilante thriller where absolutely everyone mumbles, no location is ever established, and all murder investigations begin at Joe's Crab Shack. […]

WUTHERING HEIGHTS MOVIE REVIEW There have been a LOT of film and tv adaptations of Wuthering Heights, author Emily Bronte's single novel from 1847.

THE WRECKING CREW MOVIE REVIEW Abraham Maslow once said “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail”.

WONDER MAN SERIES REVIEW If you've been out of the MCU for a few, Marvel's Wonder Man arrives on Disney+ as not only one of the MCU's most self-aware projects to date but as a perfect re-entry point that doesn't require you watching or even knowing anything that took place after Avengers: Endgame. An industry […]
