One of us is Board

Literally no one asked for this, but we did it anyways. This week we watched Shrek the Musical (2013) so that you don't have to. Was it any good? Well, you'll need to listen to find out. Or you could just google the (Tony Award Winning??) costumes and see for yourself. Take a look at Shrek and Donkey and then ask yourself, does this look like a winning product? If your answer is yes, you're in for...

In this totally not late at all episode, Calum and Sam talk about a small movie that you've probably not heard of, Shrek (2001). Somehow this film is now twenty years old. Yeah, we know, how did that happen? So, it's the perfect time to look back at this early 2000s time capsule. In this episode you're also treated to a brand new theory about Shrek that makes the film a whole lot better. Well, at...

You know how some films definitely don't like up to what you remember from your childhood? Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is nowhere near what we expected; it's way better. Same goes with this podcast. This week you're treated to a sad analysis of the death of a shoe (he just wanted to live DAMMIT) and the revelation of a plot hole that tears apart the very fabric of the film's existence. Exaggera...

RIP March Month of Muppets Madness. Well. Moving on! You know who knows a lot about emo rap? Not us. Regardless of this, this week we watch Everybody's Everything (2019), an enthralling documentary about the rise of and tragic premature death of Lil Peep (Gustav Elijah Åhr). While we're definitely not gonna score any cool points any time soon, even we think this documentary is fascinating and real...

One of us is devastated that our March Month of Muppets Madness is at an end (and it's certainly not Calum). We end on an epic high with Muppets Treasure Island (1996). The film that VHS ads were determined to make us watch by blasting cabin fever on loop. So is this the best treasure island adaptation ever? (Yes.) Well, you'll have to listen to find out! (It is.) This episode is late, but mostly...

We're doing a sequel. We're back by popular demand. Ha, well, we wanted to do some more anyways. Welcome back listener! This week we're continuing our March Month of Madness with Muppets Most Wanted (2014). Calum was kept happy with the inclusion of Celine Dion so Sam's happy rambles about a franchise she has found random, unexplained enthusiasm for are kept relatively unchecked. Is this bad or go...

BREAKING NEWS: THE MUPPETS (2012) IS A MUPPET FILM THAT STATLER ACTUALLY LIKES! So yeah, welcome back to our March Month of Muppet Madness, the month where Sam forces Calum to watch Muppet films for a month: whether he likes it or not. The Muppets (2012) has honestly come as a really pleasant surprise. Even Waldorf was sceptical, but damn, they done made a good reunion movie. We also highly recomm...

Welcome back to our March Month of Muppets Madness! This time, Statler and Waldorf are here to present you with a glowing review of what is undoubtedly the weirdest of the Muppet movies, Muppets From Space (1999). While it is literally impossible to make a Muppets film unlikeable, the makers of this film really did give it the good ol' college try. There are easier ways of giving a franchise a bre...

Welcome to our March Month of Muppets Madness! This month we're going to be watching a number of different Muppets films, starting with 'The Muppet Movie' (1979). If you've been desperately hunting for a frenzied ramble about how great Rainbow Connection is, some day you'll find it (and by some day we mean, well done you've found it now). Not only do you get to hear some frantic fangirl rants, you...

Circle (2015) is like Big Brother if the eliminations were every two minutes instead of every week. Also, instead of having to sit through an interview with Davina McCall at the end of it, you get to embrace the sweet relief of death as you are brutally murdered with alien lasers. One of us liked this film, the other was less convinced; be sure to let us know who you agree with! If you haven't yet...

The Platform (2019) sounds like something out of Sam and Calum's dreams; a moving buffet. Could there be anything better? Don't worry though, dear listener, you don't have to sit through a half-hour glowing food review. Instead, you get to hear a truly disdainful review of a film that many people seem to love for reasons we just don't understand. Just like how this description has spoiled our opin...

Today, one grump and one glorious sunshine of a personality watch Disney's Moana. Thank you for joining us in this episode of 'one of us regrets giving the other the power to write the descriptions'. Well Calum, what can I say except, "You're welcome." This is a short and sweet review of Moana (or a long enthusiastic ode to Heihei in Calum's case), so if you haven't given the podcast a try, this i...

Did you know that there is a one-in-twenty chance that you have a secret twin that you don't know about? Did you also know that 70% of statistics are made up on the spot? Today Calum and Sam assume the role of armchair psychologists as they watch the 2018 documentary, 'Three Identical Strangers.' Now, we do genuinely think that you'd be missing out by not experiencing this one for yourself first,...

This week we watched a film that definitely narrowly missed out on an Oscar, Thunderpants (2002). While Sam saw this film during it's cinematic release, Calum was unlucky and missed the opportunity. Thankfully, he was able to make up for it now by watching the epic tale of a boy who attempts to fart his way into Space. 

Thanks for joining us on the first ever episode of 'One of Us is Board,' the podcast where two friends (and clueless film graduates) talk about films, music and other media that we've recently consumed. This week we have a look at the latest Pixar offering, Soul (2020). If you're not a fan of spoilers and want to watch the film, run away now.
