Welcome back to our very Spoopy Halloween Month! Make sure to keep your lights on and your valuables secured as we watch Dawn of the Dead (1978). How to survive a zombie apocalypse, is a favourite topic of conversation for many. Especially socially awkward party go-ers. While I'm personally an advocate of going out in the first wave (a world without internet? no thanks), others truly think they ha...

Welcome to our very Spoopy Halloween Month! Be sure to listen with a friend and secure your mobile device as Frankenstein (1931) is peak spoopy. Why did we choose to watch it? Well, neither of us have seen it; despite being film graduates. We also didn't know what to do for Halloween, so we stole a list off IMBD and hoped for the best. Did it pay off? Heck yeah! Spoiler alert; this film and this e...

We have a very special episode for you today dear listeners. That's right, it's finally time for Frakenhooker (1990). Pointless Spinoff Podcast gently persuaded (harrassed) us into making this, so you have them to thank. They've done a Frankenhooker episode too, check it out! This movie was everything we could have hoped for and more. Who would have thought watching Glitter would have led to this...

Oh gang. This week we suffer through Red Dot (2021). What can we really say other than. Well. Yeah. We suffer. Join us as we discuss bears in Sweden and horrific things happening to horrific people. One thing this film does have going for it, is the most elaborate revenge plot seen since Saw. Thankfully for the bad guy, the millions of things that have to go right for this to work, do. Unfortunate...

As a wise(?) man once said, “‘The Hottie and the Nottie’ (2008) is Paris Hilton’s Magnus Opum”. Yes. You read that right and we stand by it. We've done over thirty episodes now, and have watched films that have surprised and films that have sucked. This film is unique in that it surprised us in just how much it sucks. Now look, we knew it was going to be bad, but this isn't even funny-bad. It's ju...

Help! I'm trapped in small private elevator! Welcome to Lady in a Cage (1964), a film that everyone should watch once. Well, we say that having not watched many genuine classics between us, so take that advice with a pinch of salt. At the very least everyone should listen to this episode and watch the trailer. It's a slow burner that ends in pure chaos AND it features the dad from Elf!  Join...

Last week we got a small taste of what a fangirling session with Calum and Sam might look like. Well. Brace yourselves. This week we turn it up to 11, as we watched Love and Monsters (2020), the extremely highly anticipated post apocalyptic coming of age story featuring the greatest actor on the planet (unclear as to whether this in reference to Dylan O'Brien or Hero the dog). Dear listener, we ar...

It's the last day of our music from our childhood month, so who better to end with than Mariah Carey (the soundtrack to Calum's life, nevermind his childhood). Mariah is a legend, so surely her film is just as good right? Nah, no dice. Glitter (2001) is a good album, but the film is a bit of an experience. Is this Mariah's fault? No, Mariah does no wrong and is the embodiment of perfection (Calum,...

Continuing on with our Music from Our Childhood month, this week we watched Crossroads (2002). Yes, the Britney Spears movie. Not the 1960s British Soap Opera that keeps popping up whenever we Google the film. It's almost like the Britney film isn't regarded as a beloved classic or something. Weird, right? Let's start by saying that Crossroads is grim. You came here looking for a chick-flick fun t...

It's the one you've all been waiting for, as this week we watched Spice World (1997). You may think that C***y Spice and Myopic Spice are here to crap all over this glorious mess of a film, but you'd be wrong. Join us as we have a genuine good time with a film that we honestly believe has been misunderstood. Or maybe we've been struck with a sudden bout of the optimisms. Please send help. We can't...

Welcome to our Music from our Childhood month! This week we're watching S Club 7: Back to the 50's (1999), a TV special that only Calum and a few others bothered to remember. Now you may be wondering why we didn't watch Seeing Double (2003) and honestly the long and short of it is that we didn't want to. The music on that album was boring. No, we're here for Back to the 50's terrible acting, out o...

Have you ever heard of Lou Pearlman? He's the guy who screwed over your favourite childhood boyband. To celebrate this clearly awesome human being, we watched The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story (2019). So yeah, the guy was crappy and this documentary certainly doesn't want to let you forget that. Join us as we bask in the shade. It's our favourite place to be (other than the sea, but we've m...

No, it's not a fever dream from your childhood. Help! I'm a Fish (2001) was a real life film that you probably went to see in the cinema (if you're a 90s baby/child like us). Despite being bizarre, not many people seem to remember it until they hear the song and then it all comes flooding back. Well, some of it. Alan Rickman plays an evil fish called Joe. Joe . Who'd have thought that would be for...

Back to normality. Our Video Game Adaptation Month has officially ended. This week, we watched the latest Disney Pixar animation, Luca (2021). We don't know about you guys, but did it not feel like this film kinda snuck in under the radar? If it weren't for social media and the Disney+ banner, we would never have known it was a thing. We both love pasta and we both technically qualify as sea monst...

To conclude our Video Game Adaptation Month, we watch Dynasty Warriors (2021). Now, this film has been critically panned and seems to largely be pretty disliked. You may think, being the grumpy gits that we are, that we've come here to join the pile on of people have come for this movie. You'd be wrong. We came here for a good time and we got it. Many reviewers have apparently turned this film on...

Today we watch Super Mario Bros. (1993) because Reel Deep Dives decided we should suffer. Well, I say we. Calum suffered. Sam had a great time watching a bizarre cinematic sci-fi take on a video game that largely doesn't have any sci-fi elements. This is another one of those episodes where we watched it so you don't have to. So, join us as we point you towards the clips you should search on YouTub...

We're halfway through our video game adaptation month, and to celebrate we've decided to watch the most mediocre of video game movies; Ratchet and Clank (2016). Is it a Star Wars rip off? Maybe. Is it good? Well, that's a difficult question to answer. Will Calum stop calling the Galactic Rangers the Justice League (no, he's not joking, he genuinely believes THIS is the Justice League)? Never. Join...

Welcome to One of us is Board, a professionally unprofessional film podcast where two Scottish film graduates prove that a degree doesn't equate to knowing what the hell you're talking about when it comes to the movies. Every week, one of us picks a film and forces the other to suffer through it (I'm mostly kidding, but here's looking at you, Thunderpants ).  Why not join us and let us know w...

Continuing with our Video Game Adaptation Month, we watched Forbidden Siren (2006). At least we hope we did, this film was so difficult to find and we're fairly sure that the subs were dubious at best. At the very least, we experience Forbidden Siren in some form. Forbidden Siren is a horror film that was released as promotion in the second of a horror game series, but the scariest part of this wa...

Continuing on with our Video Game Adaptation Month, this week we watch Resident Evil (2002). If you're a big fan of the game series, well, honestly we wouldn't recommend you watch the movie. Listen to us watch it and then you don't have to. Resident Evil is full of treats such as ineffective zombies, strange video game acting, boob and the most horrifically scary AI character we've ever seen. This...

Welcome to Video Game Adaptation Month! A snazzy name will eventually be thought of I'm sure, VGAM is no MMMM after all. This month (and slightly beyond) we will be celebrating the birth of Calum by watching the what we're sure will be some highbrow art. We begin with Street Fighter (1994)! Why? Well, Calum said so and Sam forced him to watch the Muppets for a month so fair game. Street Fighter is...

Today dear listener, we kind of watch Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) but mostly rant about the most recent actual Eurovision. Yeah, no points for us for keeping on topic and also because we're in the UK and Europe hate us. Fear not people of the UK, for Calum and Sam have a plan that will get us at least twenty points. We hope. Sophie Ellis-Bextor, DM us.  Join us next...

So in Scotland, Braveheart (1995) is seen as a meme. Most us haven't watched the film in it's entirety, instead we just embrace watching the infamous 'freedom' speech played over and over at various sporting events. Join two Scots as they break the most sacred of rules and they watch all three hours (three hours?!) of Mel Gibson as William Wallace. If you're an American who really wants to embrace...

Today we argue, we laugh, and we cry as we watch the Pixar film that deserved way better, Onward (2020). Not to toot our own horn, but this is genuinely a great episode, mostly because the film is super great (toot-toot). Instead of discussing our faves spitting on us, we fondly reminisce about our biggest argument in an era where life was easy and covid was something relegated to a sci-fi movie.&...

You ready for some unprecedented enthusiasm? This week we watch Galaxy Quest (1999). Calum hates sci-fi, so the film had that going against it going in. Did it win him over? Obviously! It's a sci-fi film [lovingly] mocking sci-fi; it's his dream. Join us as we gush over a great film and debate some important questions about fandom and celebrity culture. Such as, would Calum still be a fan of Maria...
