One of us is Board

Welcome back to Pokémon month, where we continue our journey with Pokémon 3: The Movie (2000). Otherwise known as Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown: Entei or Pocket Monsters the Movie: Lord of the "UNKNOWN" Tower ENTEI. The SEO on this one is going to be really fun. Anyways, join us as we deconstruct the whole Pokémon world and improve it. Well, Sam does; Calum just likes to pick holes in...

Welcome back to Pokémon Month, where we are continuing our journey towards becoming Pokémon Professors by watching Pokémon The Movie 2000 (1999). Join us as we watch a film that accurately predicted the weirdo Pokémon card collectors of the future (just because the internet says something is worth money, that doesn't mean you're actually going to become rich by finding a piece of paper with a Char...

We're back! We bet you missed us almost as much as we missed you. We've decided to start with a fun, nostalgic month for everyone. So, welcome to Poké-month! We're starting off with Pokémon: The First Movie (1998) and wow it's a trip down memory lane. Weirdly, the soundtrack is the biggest thing that gets the feels going. If Brother My Brother wasn't the anti-war anthem of your childhood, you're t...

Welcome to another year of One of us is Board! Thank you for joining us once again. To celebrate our second anniversary of shenanigans, we've decided to watch Who Cares (2004). This was a film which was made in collaboration between the Borders Youth Theatre, Cap-a-Pie Productions, VOMO, Borders Young Carers and the Scottish Borders Council, and which you won't have seen unless you were a teenager...

Merry Christmas! Make your Christmas day even better by joining us as we discuss Love Actually (2003). This one is a bit late because Sam had a Christmas night out that made recording impossible, but it's all good because now you have an extra special Christmas gift from us. We discuss soulmates, love at first sight, and the state of relationships with our usual cynicism; perfect for Christmas! We...

Christmas is coming towards us at an alarming pace, so we continue our Deck the Hallmark month with The Princess Switch (2018). Are you a big Vanessa Hudgens fan? If so, you're in luck, as this film features her twice. However, there is a lot to keep you enchanted, even if you aren't. In this episode, Sam and Calum shamelessly lust over Sam Palladio and pick weird holes in a plot that is already f...

Welcome to our Christmas month, where we kick off with Falling for Christmas (2022). Now, we were very excited when we heard Lindsay Lohan was making her big comeback. We once downloaded the mobile game she "made" and played it all night to avoid doing an essay. Good times. Anyway, we are hyped to be able to start off "Deck the Hallmark" month with a film with her and the guy from Glee that Calum...

Today we conclude Nun-vember with Sister Wrath/Nun of That (2008). We have no idea what name it's going by these days, and yeah. We stumbled across a punny poster for the film on Twitter and it was what prompted the whole Nun month. Long story short, thank goodness we didn't start with this one, otherwise, Calum might have lost all faith in Nun-vember. Nun of That has all the puns you could want,...

Welcome back to Nun-vember, the best monthly theme for a podcast ever! This week we watched Madeline (1998) at the insistence of Calum. It's actually really funny that he suggested this because anyone who listens knows that he's not usually a fan of child characters. Will Madeline and the other eleven girls be an exception? You'll have to listen to find out. Spoiler: we stan Hélène and Genevieve....

Welcome back to Nun-vember, the month when we watch films about Nuns. It is a very legitimate themed month. Why are you judging us? This week we look at the darker side of Nuns with Philomena (2013). We bet you thought Nun-vember would be all whimsical tales about happy singing nuns. No. We decided to explore a whole new flavour of Nun; the more sinister 'realistic' spicy nun. Basically, we opt fo...

Spoopy Month is now over and it's time to refresh in preparation for Christmas. So, how do we move on from the scary to the Holy? Nuns. Nuns are the only answer. Welcome to Nun-vember. We kick off our month of nunsense with Sister Act (1992). It's the rainy day lunchtime film that Calum fondly remembers and the nun musical Sam was vaguely aware of; so join us as we reminisce. Also, we're not sure...

Happy Halloween! We finish up our spoopy ways-to-die month with the eeriest of deaths - that of some well-regarded careers. We are, of course, talking about Cats (2019). It's a batshit crazy adaptation of an already batshit crazy show. This was Calum's fault. Calum decided that we all had to suffer this Halloween. Does singing to death count as a spoopy way to die? Probably. Nothing makes sense an...

This week we continue our Spoopy Halloween month with Bearry (2021) and it's entirely possible that we are some of the only people on the planet who have watched this film. It's on Amazon, but so are we now, and if the choice is between watching a confused murderous bear and listening to us, what would you rather do? We've made it sound more interesting in that one sentence than it actually is, so...

We continue our chilling month of spoopy ways to die with Hobo with a Shotgun (2011). The title isn't a winner, but the film is. It is everything we wish Rubber could have been. It had no right to be so good, to the point that we're mad about it. How dare it be so damn entertaining. Our review is less so, but if you manage to comment the keyword that we've hidden in the episode, we will give you a...

Hello and welcome back to our Spoopy Ways to Die month! This week we watched Rubber (2010), and spoiler, we were disappointed with the spoopy way people died in this film. If you think about a film about a murderous tire, what do you think you're in for? A super awesome gore-fest where you see a gigantic tire squish people? Perhaps you envision a plot where a tire attaches itself to cars and delib...

Beware, dear listener, for we have a positively frightful episode lined up for you as we watch Poltergay (2006), as part of our new Spoopy Ways to Die month. Join us as we ponder life's biggest mystery; who the hell is Dave and why is his cameo so significant? If any French listener could please provide the cultural context, we would be much obliged. We also discuss the logistics of electrified bu...

It's the final episode of our Back to the Podcast month, so this week we watched Back to the Future Part III (1990), or as we describe it now, the second best Back to the Future film. We're back into the swing of things and talking guard bears, ravine paradoxes, and how much Doc has changed since he arrived in 1885. How we wish the original timeline had happened, she really did deserve to get yeet...

Welcome back to our Back to the Podcast month, where we spend our month watching the Back to the Future series. Back to the Future Part II (1989) , like many middle trilogy films, is the Wednesday of the series. If you don't know what that means, we're not going to explain it to you. Join us as we imagine the possibilities of what could have happened if they hadn't have trapped themselves into a p...

It's time to come back with us, Back to the Podcast! Hello, did you miss us? We missed you! This month we're heading back to the podcast by watching Back to the Future (1985) and it's two sequels. Now, this is the greatest film trilogy of all time (yes, it is, fight me) so really you have no excuse to not join us in our triumphant return. You have all the same One of us is Board staples as before;...

We've been missing! Life has been crazy, but we are back with another episode of shenanigans and murder. I say this week, but really it was many weeks ago, we watched Sweeney Todd (2007) and it was a lot better than we expected. We decided to ignore the elephant in the room, so if you come listening for our thoughts on the situation; you're gonna be disappointed. BUT if you came looking for more r...

It's Calum's birthday month and to celebrate we're watching a film about a group of people that are guaranteed to put a smile on Calum's face; nuns! No, seriously, that's a thing. We kick off our Just Musicals June with The Sound of Music (1965) and we had a good time because that's what The Sound of Music is. Join us as we stan Elsa Schraeder and head-canon 'Uncle' Max being the evil alter-ego of...

Little something different for you today, team! Today we're talking about a film that we recently made within 48 hours for the Edinburgh 48 Hour Film Project! Our cute wee science fiction film, Not Mulch Thyme, can be found on YouTube and we'd love it if you checked it out. (The soundtrack by Unanchored Elms (who could that be?!) is also available to stream now!) If you're interested in participat...

Welcome back to Music Mockumentary May! It's been a while but we're back with The Rutles: All We Need is Cash (1978). Now this one was a bit of a struggle; not only because we don't know that much about the Beatles, but also because the Wikipedia plot is pretty much non-existent. What this means though, dear listener, is that you get to have a short episode! You're welcome, or we're sorry; we'll l...

New month, new theme! This week we kick off our Music Mockumentary May with Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice (2008). Now, if you're not from the UK you will have most likely missed this media moment and you really did have to be there. 2008 was the peak UK talent show era. Thankfully, we ramble as per usual and give you li...

Apocalyptic April has definitely not run into May. What are you talking about? Anyways, here's our review of Shaun of the Dead. The first of the Cornetto was definitely a throwback for us both and we're horrified to realise how old that makes us. Also we'd be super curious to see how many of our International fans have seen this as we know it's got a cult following now. This episode also features...
