White Noise

It’s finally here… All of our thoughts on the entire history of Black Mirror collected into one episode. Hailing from the glory of the Channel 4 era and trickling down to the hit-or-miss Hollywoodification of the more recent seasons, join us as we dive deep into the current state of Black Mirror as well as our predictions (and suggestions) for its future. - - - - - - - - Follow our socials!

Has life become so dark that there's nothing Black Mirror can do to scare us anymore? Has the show become too "American-ised" for Brits to relate to it? What will the future of Black Mirror look like? These are just some of the questions we try to answer in our review and ranking of Black Mirror Season 6. - - - - - - - - Follow our socials!

Need something to watch this Pride Month or just a Friday night movie? We’ve got you covered. The best part? None of them will make you cry! Well…a couple might, but not in the way LGBTQ+ films usually do. This Pride Month, we wanted to draw attention to “feel good” queer movies that encapsulate the love, acceptance and safety we all deserve Films mentioned in this episode: The Handmaiden (2016) B...

For our first episode in two months (), we’ve come back with a bit of a heavy one…mental health representation in horror. Starting with Scream 6 (2023) and working our way back to Psycho (1960), we talk about the negative effects certain representations of mental health in horror films have had. We’re not mental health experts but two avid horror fans who believe this is an important conversation....

Did we ever tell you about the time we went to a My Chemical Concert and danisnotonfire was there? Yeah, we know that sounds like the plot of fanfiction but that is only one part of what we get into in this episode. Honestly, it would be impossible to cover everything that falls under ‘fandom.’ Instead, we’ve done our best to separate our personal experience and knowledge of fandom into four (most...

The poorly drawn Titan marks are back and so is our fangirling over the final chapters of Attack on Titan. We really are in the end game now boys, and we have some thoughts on how things are going to end…  Let’s unpack the first two chapters of the AOT final. - - - - - - - -  Follow our socials!

What films come to mind when you think of ‘Forbidden Love?’ Romeo & Juliet. Titanic. Call Me By Your Name. Lolita. These are the obvious answers but for this episode, we explore how Forbidden Love is about getting freaky…literally.  The three films that encapsulate Forbidden Love to us are The Shape of Water, Bones and All and Titane. From romance to human connection to trauma - we talk a...

Can you believe it’s only February and we’ve already been fed some of the most delicious horror films?  Anyone who’s been listening to us for a while knows that we are absolute horror fanatics. Usually, we wait until Halloween to start denying we’re a horror podcast while uploading horror episode after horror episode…but our horror overlords have decreed that 2023 is the year we can deny it n...

What do period dramas, k-dramas and animes have in common? They all have that sweet, sweet subtext that makes us go wild. In this year’s Valentine’s Day minisode, we challenge that physical affection is not the most intimate two (or more) human beings can be. A glance across the room, the brief brush of a hand or even sharing a piece of toast are all hotter than what you might get up to in the bed...

We’re living in the best timeline because #sixseasonsandamovie is FINALLY coming true. It’s got us feeling all nostalgic but just like most things from 2000s and 2010s, we’ve been hit with childhood-shattering questions… How has Community aged, is it everything we remember, what place could the movie possibly have in 2023?  Two die-hard fans get a heavy dose of reality as they try to answer t...

We're still here. We're still queer. And we're ready for a new year.  Some things never change but this podcast has grown and bloomed into something we couldn't be more proud of To celebrate that and welcome our new listeners into the world of White Noise, we decided our first release of 2023 should be about a topic we don't talk about that often...us!

Happy Halloween! The best day of the year is finally here and so is the final of our seven-day Halloween specials. While this might not have been how we planned to end things, we had a wickedly good time talking about horror sequels. We’re kind of sad that our seven days of horror are over but we hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as we have. We’ll be back next year with even more horror so make sur...

It wouldn’t be a White Noise Halloween special if we didn’t get a little queer at least once. This year, we are dedicating Day Six of our Halloween specials to talk about the horror films that had us hiding in the closet for more than one reason.

Character building or trauma-inducing? There are some animated films that should never have been seen by our young eyes. Take a trip down our childhood uncanny valley in this minisode marking Day Five of our seven-day Halloween specials.

Most people stick on a lofi playlist when they have work or cleaning to do…we leave a horror film playing in the background. Find out the horror movies that feel like familiar friends to us in Day Four of the White Noise 7 Days of Horror specials.

When did one of the most exploitative shows of the 21st century become too much for us? Find out in Day Three of our Halloween specials where we share our messy thoughts on the infamous anthology series, American Horror Story.

Many artists suffer for their art whereas others inflict this suffering on others for the sake of their art. In Day Two of the White Noise 7 Days of Horror specials, we’re dedicating an episode to directors you might not have known got their start in horror. If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan then you owe it all to Bad Taste.

For Day One of our 7 Days of Horror specials, we thought we’d start off easy with some horror movies that will tickle your funny bone. Join us in this minisode where we discuss horror films that had us on the edge of our seats and splitting our sides.

What's more important...Park Chan-wook's birthday or our two year anniversary? Yeah, we couldn't decide either so we're celebrating both in this extra special episode.  Join us as we celebrate two years of White Noise by sharing our thoughts on Park Chan-wook's unforgiving Vengeance Trilogy (and get distracted by the genius of Korean cinema in general).

This month we're talking about something a little different on White Noise...books!  Considering how we are both big literature nerds, it's mad how it took us nearly two years to finally record a novel-centric episode. And, believe it or not, we have TikTok to thank for it. In fact, you might be surprised to learn just how many of your recent favourites are all down to the rise of BookTok.&nb...

Welcome to The Summer of Aliens In this month's episode, we discuss the summer of 1982 and the impact it still has today. From the flop of The Thing and the rise of E.T to Stranger Things.

Skye and Lyanna scream about the not-so-ending of Attack on Titan and what the future holds for the show.

Skye and Lyanna discuss the power of fanfiction and it's impact on it's countless readers and pop culture at large.

We are joined by a very special guest to have a casual "post-cinema-esque" chat about the latest entry in the Scream franchise.

Skye and Lyanna look back on their highlights of the year, as well as the ever-evolving media landscape.
