NANDOR FODOR AND THE TALKING MONGOOSE For all the famed historical figures who’ve seen biopics made of their lives and times, it’s always a pleasure to discover a lesser known individual of significance who’s been little more than a footnote in world history. Such is the case of Nandor Fodor and his experience with the […]

THEY CLONED TYRONE MOVIE REVIEW I don’t know if you are aware of this, but the United States has a history of oppressing those who are not white/anglo-saxons. I know, crazy to read in print but it’s true. Trail of Tears, the Tulsa Massacre, the Tuskegee experiments, Japanese internment camps during WWII, the list goes […]

SLOTHERHOUSE MOVIE REVIEW It feels like there’s a cavalcade of great horror premises out there… You’re sitting there, scrolling through a streaming platform and oh… look at this movie called “Cariboo?” The idea of a dead reindeer haunting a small town makes your soul jump for joy.

He balances a life as the superhero all other superheroes are compared to while living as mild mannered Clark Kent, working for the Daily Planet alongside the […]

BAD THINGS MOVIE REVIEW Bad Things is a “Shinning” example of what not to do if you like the movie The Shining. Imagine a movie where Jack Torrence doesn’t get a character setup, we don’t find out about his abusive past, and we just show up at The Overlook Hotel. It’s not that compelling of […]

THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES SEASON 3 REVIEW Everyone’s favorite dysfunctional, evangelical, family is back here to separate you from your disposable income… you know… for Jesus or something. This season, the siblings (Danny McBride, Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson) are at odds over running the kingdom now that dad (John Goodman) has “retired.” We’re also introduced to [&...

CORNER OFFICE MOVIE REVIEW Pour a drip of hurt, clock in, cram yourself into a cubicle, and start living with purpose. After all, without the rat race and daily grind of nine to five we’d have all the free time in the world to love, laugh, cry, smile, hope, despair, and dream. Have ever seen […]

THE BEANIE BUBBLE MOVIE REVIEW It seems like Hollywood has a never ending barrage of “Company Biopics” it wants to melt our eyeballs with. Something that gently plucks a little nostalgia out of your brain, and gives you a fleeting moment from your past… all while being bombarded with messages of “American Dreams” and “Capitalism […]

SCREENER SQUAD: THE OUT-LAWS There’s a very, very excellent action spy flick out right now. It’s got high stakes, impressive action set pieces, and a surprising amount of comedy interspersed with the car chases and gunfire. The movie is called Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning, and we highly recommend it. Seriously, it’s one of the best […]

BIOSPHERE MOVIE REVIEW So there’s this movie about a couple buddies locked inside a self-sufficient dome…No, not that movie.

GREMLINS: SECRETS OF THE MOGWAI SERIES REVIEW As is tradition in new media, old media is (trying to) make a comeback. Here at One Of Us, we try to go into a movie/show/ip with an open mind, even if it’s a reboot/late sequel. And even though most times it just feels like a cash grab, […]

MAD HEIDI MOVIE REVIEW Hey everyone. I don’t know if you heard… here, come in closer, I don’t want anyone else to pick up on our intimate conversation. Listen… you know Heidi? Yeah, well some assholes killed her boyfriend Goat Peter, burned down her house with her grandfather still inside. Well that just boiled Heidi’s […]

FLAMIN’ HOT MOVIE REVIEW Do as Nelly says with today’s film everyone: “It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes.” Wait… scratch that. Put your Chester Cheeto shirt back on. Nobody wants to see that. Anyways, today’s film is Flamin’ Hot directed by Eva Longoria (yes that Eva Longoria). It’s the story […]

INFLUENCER MOVIE REVIEW So let’s get it out of the way; being an influencer is a double edged sword when it comes to making a living. On one hand, you’re paid by viewers and advertisers to basically be a proxy for the audience, living the life we all would enjoy if we had a disposable […]

WRATH OF BECKY MOVIE REVIEW Becky was a 2020 revenge thriller that asked, “What would Rambo be like if he were a 13-year-old girl?” Lulu Wilson starred as the titular Becky, an angsty girl who has lost her mother to cancer and must defend her family against a group of escaped Neo Nazi convicts led […]

QUASI MOVIE REVIEW Oh boy, Broken Lizard is back, emphasis on the “broken” with Hulu’s new movie Quasi, starring said comedy troupe. Depending on who you talk to, it’s literally the most disappointing film ever, or just average. It seems Broken Lizard is stuck in a time warp, where the comedy really hasn’t evolved with […]

GHOSTED MOVIE REVIEW If you only watched the first 30 minutes of this new romantic Apple+ film starring Ana De Armas and Chris Evans, you might think you’re watching a Lifetime movie. Evans plays Cole, an unlucky-in-love farmer and agricultural historian who has recently been dumped when he crosses paths with Sadie (De Armas), a […]

KIDS VS ALIENS MOVIE REVIEW With a title like this, you’d make assumptions. You’d assume there are kids in this movie. Correct. You’d guess there are aliens. Well, eventually. And by the look of it, you might assume an 80’s vibe. Yeah, that stylistic choice is certainly there, though it’s set in 2023. What you […]

BEEF SERIES REVIEW BEEF is what you get when you can’t just let some petty shit go. You know what I’m talking about… that one time you were dissed in front of your paramour or when your boss (the one that hates your guts), yells at you in front of your peers. Sure, maybe replacing […]
