DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 326: JOHN STORY 3: SUPERCRITIC Chris and John have a towering stack of home releases to review that range from all-time HK action classics, to the most surreal yakuza films ever made.

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 323: HOW TO SEXY DANCE LIKE A COCAINE ASSASSIN John and Chris tell it like it is and show you some moves in this latest episode of Digital Noise, covering home release movies and tv shows. They look at a film that they consider one of the least of the best of […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 321: MORE FUN WITH THE NEW STACK John and Chris talk about the latest home releases with a 4k upgrade to a classic that King Kong has nothing on, a French crime film influenced by Se7en, David Lynch’s second weirdest film, the worst Batman tv show ever made (so CHRIS says), and […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 319: WHERE DID THESE HORROR MOVIES COME FROM? John got the short end of the stack this week with a lot of, well, not terrible but certainly not real good horror films. But hey, at least they’re from around the world and hell, maybe you’re the audience for them. But we do […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 317: DARK AND DEAD: DON’T WORRY, SMILE! John and Chris continue their dive into the depths of digital with their look at some more home releases.

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 316: DOGS ON A HINTERLAND MOTORCYCLE John and Chris team up for this first of a two-parter Digital Noise with a WIDE variety of stuff to talk about.

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 310: TREKKERS GONNA TREK John and Chris take on Blair Witch but with old timey music instead of a witch, Rat Pack spy capers, sex-crazed ghost husbands, 80s 20-somethings looking for the tunnel of light, and old-school Trek. It’s quite the voyage. Join us, won’t you? All titles were sent to Digital […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 307: IS THIS MOVIE GOOD, OR IS JOHN JUST DYING? John may be ill, but he’s still for up for reviewing this stack of oddball films this week. From a HK romantic ghost story on Criterion to a James Dean ‘classic’. From two sequels to one of the best Sidney Poitier films […]

[…]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 301: FROM BAD TO REALLY BAD “Two Austin Awards Nominated” Sir John Gholson (we’re never going to hear the end of that one) and Chris Cox take on a mixed bag of films this week.
