ONSLAUGHT MOVIE REVIEW The director of You’re Next and The Guest goes back to the action/horror style of his earlier works with Onslaught. The film follows Celeste (Adria Arjona) a super pissed-off single mom and ex-marine now managing a rundown trailer park in the middle of nowhere. Who should interrupt this existence of creeping despair […]

THE DOG STARS MOVIE REVIEW Is just surviving after an apocalyptic pandemic enough? This is the question that Ridley Scott’s new film poses. Based on the book by Peter Heller, The Dog Stars follows Hig (Jacob Elordi), a civilian pilot. He and his ex-marine friend Bangley (Josh Brolin) have holed up outside Denver in an […]

BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT MOVIE REVIEW Legendary music journalist Michael Azerrad said about his iconic book Our Band Could Be Your Life, “The most surprising and rewarding chapter to write was the Butthole Surfers chapter. I’d always thought of them as a bunch of drug-addled reprobates – which maybe they were […]

MAKE A NOISE: BLAZING SADDLES (1974) Mel Brooks took the Western and blew it to pieces with Blazing Saddles. Eric Samaniego is joined by Chris Cox, founder of OneOfUs.net, to discuss one of the most outrageous comedies ever made, from its fearless take on race and the American myth to the unforgettable performances of Gene […]

INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER MOVIE REVIEW Coming in at entry number six is Insidious: Out of the Further, facing the ultimate horror franchise hurdle: how do you keep malevolent spirits scary after six movies? Quick recap: Generally, ghosts suck, mainly in their attempts to mess with humans and gain entry to our world. Previous […]

THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING MOVIE REVIEW Every generation have a few actors that become icons. Sometimes it’s sheerly because of their skill at the craft. Sometimes it’s because they’ve just got that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that makes them stand apart. Sometimes, they’re just Matthew McConaughey, and you can already just hear that voice […]

THE END OF OAK STREET MOVIE REVIEW Is it odd that director David Robert Mitchell, rightfully celebrated for his films The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010) and It Follows (2014) hasn’t made a film since his severely underrated 2018 film Under The Silver Lake? Yes. Is it even weirder that when you look at […]

THE WRONG GIRLS MOVIE REVIEW I definitely did not have on my scorecard for 2026, NEON releases a stoner superhero movie with Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat. But here we are. The Wrong Girls follows these two (Frankie and Molly respectively) who are best friends, roommates, bombed out stoners, and total losers. Rent and bills […]

ONE NIGHT ONLY MOVIE REVIEW Filing under the ‘we are running out of ideas for this genre’ department, in One Night Only the premise is that a conservative government has outlawed premarital sex. But one night a year, there’s a “The Purge” but for sex, where (as long as you use protection, which you’ll have to […]

TONY MOVIE REVIEW Everybody knows Anthony Bourdain, probably the best known celebrity chef of the late 20th/early 21st century. Whether it was from his amazing books, like the must-read Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly or one of his shows about travel and food, Bourdain was universally appreciated…except perhaps by people around him in […]

A CURIOUS MIX OF PEOPLE DOCUMENTARIES REVIEW The 90s were a wild time. Austin Texas certainly saw a boom during the decade on many different fronts but one of the wildest and most unique was what was going on in its music and club scene. Bands like The Butthole Surfers and The Big Boys set […]

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY After the spell caused everyone to forget who he is, Peter (Tom Holland) has fully submerged himself in being Spider-Man all of the time. Constantly on the prowl for crime, he still is haunted by the loss of his friendship with Ned (Jacob Batalon) and his girlfriend M.J. (Zendaya) who are […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 380: FLAWLESS VICTORY Chris and Wright review physical media and they have got an interesting stack of recent releases to tell you about today. From an upgraded release of the first faintly enjoyable video game based movie (and it’s unfortunate sequel) to one of the most freaky Japanese horror films ever made. […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 379: OUR FANTASY LIFE IS BEING JACKIE CHAN John and Chris may, to appearances here, seem to have a smaller stack this week. But with a big Jackie Chan set we actually go carefully through all the films involved. You also get to hear us decide whether a cult classic that everyone […]

THE ODYSSEY MOVIE REVIEW Director Christopher Nolan has become one of the biggest ‘event’ directors of his generation. Pretty much no matter what he’s helming, he’ll get exactly the cast he wants, the budget he wants, people will pre-buy tickets for the first few weeks, and it will be showered in awards. I mean, how […]

EVIL DEAD BURN MOVIE REVIEW The sixth entry (I say 7th since I am counting the great tv series Ash vs The Evil Dead) in the consistently good Evil Dead horror franchise is here and fans are excited. As has become the tradition, producers Raimi, Tapert, and Campbell have pulled from the horror indie scene […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 378: DN THE BAND THE SHOW THE PODCAST Wright and Chris take on a mighty stack of physical releases, getting into what may be Oliver Stone’s least seen but possibly best film, a Jimmy Stewart western that fell off everyone’s radar but should get back on it, one of the best new […]

THE INVITE MOVIE REVIEW Olivia Wilde as a director hit the ground running with the 2019 very funny comedy Booksmart. Unfortunately, her sophomore effort in 2022, the dystopian sci-fi drama Don’t Worry Darling did not fare nearly so well. So, returning to comedy seemed like the right move. Teaming up with A24, Wilde takes on […]

SUPERGIRL MOVIE REVIEW The new James Gunn DC universe continues with its second theatrical release, Supergirl, following Superman’s cousin Kara (Milly Alcock) on her questionable antics through space. The only other Kryptonian other than Clark (David Corenswet) that we know of at this juncture in the Gunniverse, Kara may share all of Clark’s powers but […]

LEVITICUS MOVIE REVIEW Horror is big in 2026 and I’m not just talking about having a visceral reaction to the current state of America. The studios with horror projects on their shelves are getting dollar signs in their eyes after the wild and unpredicted success of Obsession, Hokum, and Backrooms and everybody wants in. No […]

DISCLOSURE DAY MOVIE REVIEW It’s easy to be cynical of any art designed to move you in this age of deceit and the dying of empathy. Which is why you gotta bring out the big guns like Steven Spielberg to make a movie pleading for a sane return to empathy and truth. The best way […]

STOLEN KINGDOM MOVIE REVIEW The odds are you probably have someone in your life who is REALLY into the Disney theme parks experience and is not a child. These folks are called Disney Adults. Perhaps they take it even further and are SO into Disney that they venerate everything they produce and think they can […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 376: STONE COLD CRITICS Chris and Wright would have been great action heroes. Except for their physiques, lack of fighting experience, and coolness, they definitely would have stood toe-to-toe with the likes of 90s, erm, sorta stars like The Boz. Don’t you think? I mean, at least they could do the one […]

IS GOD IS MOVIE REVIEW In the cinematic debut from multiple award-winning playwright Aleshea Harris comes the unexpected curve ball of Is God Is, based on her 2018 off-Broadway play. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson play two twin sisters (Racine and Anaia). Both have terrible burn scars but Racine’s are easier to cover up. Anaia’s […]
