One of us is Board

Welcome back to Forgotten Disney Month! This week we're watching The Black Cauldron (1985), the film that almost single-handedly destroyed Disney animation forever. Surely that means it must be amazingly awful? Nah, as far as Sword in the Stone rip-offs go, it's pretty unremarkable. Join us as we fumble our way through this episode, much like frog Fflewddur Fflam fumbles his way in and out...

Welcome back to Forgotten Disney Month, where we continue our journey through the dusty Disney vaults by watching Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). How could an epic tale featuring Michael J. Fox and human sacrifice have been forgotten to the sands of time? Very easily as it turns out. Atlantis is the film that most people either haven't watched or aren't very fussed with. Why? Well, you&#...

New month, new theme! This month we will be watching some forgotten Disney movies, and we're sure you'll tell us that you remember them so they're not really forgotten. To which we would say, “okay, fair.” We're kicking off with Treasure Planet (2002). Now this film is mostly only memorable to us because of that one Goo Goo Dolls song and because Sam's little sister loves it. However, there must b...

Alas, dear listener, we have reached the end of Twaugust. We conclude our viewing of the Twilight series by watching Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) & Part 2 (2012). Now, we haven't exactly been stanning the Twilight series so far, but will Breaking Dawn surprise us? Spoiler alert; Yes. Whether it's a good or bad surprise is still to be determined. Make sure to vote in our poll so we can a...

Welcome back to Twaugust! You're just in time to grab your nearest solar viewer as we watch Eclipse (2010). Finally, the Twilight Saga offers us an OTP that we can get behind. We're of course talking about Alice and Jasper. Unfortunately, we all still have a lot of vampire/werewolf love triangle shenanigans to sit through, so buckle up as we slowly slog through that. Join us next week as w...

Welcome back to Twaugust, where we continue our journey through the Twilight Saga with New Moon (2009). We will need some feedback from the Twilight fans on this film, because honestly? Not a lot happens. Is this one popular amongst the fans? Anyway, if you're going through a breakup, this is either the best or the worst film for you to watch right now. However, if a pretty werewolf shows some...

We're back! We bet you missed us because we missed you! We decided to jump back into the swing of things by watching a series neither of us has ever watched; welcome to Twaugust! We will catch up on our missed teenage experience this August and go through all the Twilight films. Calum has no clue where this series is going, so Twilight fans will get a kick out of hearing how wrong his predicti...

You join us today for our last episode of World Cinema Month and our last episode before our much-needed Summer break. Don't worry though because we've left you with an actual treat. This week we travelled to India to watch RRR (2022). This was a big hit last year that somehow we both missed, as we want to do with obvious popular things. We are lowkey the hipsters of the film podcast popul...

Welcome back to World Cinema Month! This week we are flying to Russia and watching Leviathan (2014). This is a bit of a long film; one of us loved it and the other watched it at 1.25 speed. Yes folks, it's going to be an interesting one this week. If you haven't watched Leviathan, you just have to know that it's a bit bleak. This may explain why one-half of our duo loves it so much; shade intended...

It's Calum's Birthday! So, he decided we were going to enjoy some nice, friendly soft-core entertainment together; as friends do! You guessed it, this week we discussed Y tu mamá también (2001) otherwise known as And Your Mother Too (2001). While the obvious happens, this film has a lot of additional depth (lol). So, we get really deep in our discussions. Why don't you get deep with us...

It's a new month and you know what that means? It's time for a brand new theme. June is the month in which we celebrate the birth of Calum, so he gets to take the wheel. He's decided to get fancy and do a world cinema month. During the next four weeks, we shall be visiting four different countries. We start off with South Korea as we watch Poetry (2010), directed by Lee Chang-dong. Basically, we w...

All good things come to an end, including Video Game Month. We wrap it all up by watching Detective Pikachu (2019). It's also a bit of a continuation of Pokémon Month, as it is now officially our favourite Pokémon movie. It does, however, feature some really ugly renditions of the Pokémon you know and love. Also, like with all Pokémon movies, Mewtwo is central to the plot. For an overpowered P...

Are you ready to listen to us talk about Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)? Well, we weren't prepared to watch it. This week on video game adaptation month, we continue on with a series that Calum loves. A lot. We hope you're up for some enthused rambles. Final Fantasy fans will love the first half of this episode. The movie review of The Spirits Within, however… Well, it was certainly a th...

We watched something current for once, as we ventured to the cinema to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023). It's currently the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time; meaning it's popular so we must hate it right? That's what the film podcast people do - hate the popular stuff. Wrong, listener. We loved the new Mario movie, so enjoy a forty-minute rant about why we think it's great....

We interrupt our usual schedule to bring you a very special episode! We've made it to one hundred episodes of One of Us is Board, so we decided to celebrate by revisiting the very first film we reviewed; Soul (2020). The Soul episode is one that some people won't have had access to until recently. We decided to try some cool Spotify music features on that episode and quickly learned how li...

We've decided to sell out and do what the people want, and the people want more video game adaptations. After all, we would never want to disappoint our stans, so buckle up as we watch Silent Hill (2006). Talking of stans, this is one of Calum's favourite video game series, so you will actually get some knowledgeable content out of this one. If you haven't seen this film or played any of the games...

We finish off our month of Don Bluth with The Land Before Time (1988). If you haven't heard of Don Bluth, you've probably heard of The Land Before Time anyways. There are, like, 17 films so surely you've seen one of them. Besides, who wouldn't watch to see some gummy baby dinosaurs watch their parents die and get chased by a T-Rex? This is another one of those painfully nostalgic films, so get rea...

Welcome back to Blupril, where we continue the month by watching Anastasia (1997). Otherwise known as the eff you to Disney Princesses that was made a couple of decades too late. Also, it's based on a grim historical event in which an entire family was slaughtered. No one said revolutions were pretty. Luckily, the glitter and music in this film are pretty, so we can move past that. However, we...

Welcome back to Don Bluth month! We continue our Blupril celebration with All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989). Just realising now that maybe we should have called it Bluthpril. Oh well, it's a bit disappointing but nothing to write home about - much like this week's film! Funny story: Calum missed the best joke in the film, so we've put it in the podcast title to ensure you don't suffer the same fate. Th...

Goodbye Jeff Goldblum month, hello Don Bluth month! Welcome to Blupril! We kick off this month of dark children's movies with The Secret of NIMH (1982). If you haven't seen or heard of this before, think The Black Cauldron meets Watership Down . So, one of those weird semi-traumatic 80s children's movies that are weirdly boring for adults to revisit. However, there is a ton of voice-ac...

It is the end of Jeff Goldblum month, otherwise known as THE Birthday month. We finish our journey through Jeff with Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). We were worried that maybe we wouldn't end with peak Goldblum because this film was relatively early in his career. However, we were overwhelmed with the amount of Jeff we received. It is simply too much Goldblum. Apparently, he toned it do...

Welcome back to THE Birthday month in which we celebrate Sam through celebrating Jeff Goldblum. This week we watched The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) and quickly realised it was a pretty crap choice to include in a Jeff Goldblum month. Not only is he the least Goldblum-y he has been thus far, but he's also only in the film for a total of ten minutes. Here's hoping you guys are Ralph Fiennes fans. T...

THE Birthday Month continues, and this week we continue our journey through the Jeff Goldblum catalogue with Jurassic Park (1993). Now, this one was hard to talk about because everyone loves it and, obviously, so do we. Consequently, you have been blessed with a rare short episode of One of us is Board. However, what we lack in length we make up for in enthusiasm. This is a film that Calum loves,...

It's March, which means it's Sam's Birthday month! Or as we've decided to call it, THE Birthday month. After all, what better way to celebrate Sam's birthday than with the podcast's very favourite mascot; THE Jeff Goldblum? This month is going to be an adventure in patience and quirk, and we've decided to start off with The Fly (1986). A birthday month isn't at all an unsettling time to watch a fi...

Get hyped team, as we're finishing off our Pokémon month by watching Pokémon Live! (2000). Now, only a small number of people ever got to see this live (not us), and then it disappeared forever, with only the soundtrack and trailer remaining. It was a piece of lost media that Sam obsessed with, mostly because the songs seemed to imply Giovanni was Ash's dad and that would be such a hilarious twist...
