THEY WILL KILL YOU MOVIE REVIEW Russian writer/director Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die!) is continuing on with his actiony weirdness wearing its influences on its sleeve with They Will Kill You. Zazie Beetz plays Asia Reeves, a woman who ten years ago was on the run with her little sister trying to protect […]

BUDDY MOVIE REVIEW “It’s Buddy” is an older children’s tv show centered around a lovable orange unicorn who lives in a clubhouse with lots of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse style anthropomorphic friends (the mailbox, the couch, a child’s backpack, etc). A group of human children sing with and learn lessons from Buddy. Only, sometimes one of them […]

KILL ME MOVIE REVIEW Jimmy (Charlie Day) wakes up in his bathtub, filled with his own blood from his slashed wrists. He manages to call a 911 dispatcher named Margot (Allison Williams) who sends in paramedics to save his life. His family (Aya Cash and Jessica Harper) gather around him in his hospital room; this […]

NORMAL MOVIE REVIEW A decade ago if you told me that Bob Odenkirk was going to have a rebirth as a brutal action movies star, I would have assumed you were talking about a Mr. Show sketch that I must have forgotten about. But here we are, first with the Nobody series, and now he […]

HOKUM MOVIE REVIEW While Irish director Damian McCarthy is a big name in the serious horror fan community, especially after two fantastic films Caveat (2020) and Oddity (2024), his latest film Hokum that premiered at SXSW might just be the one to break him wide. Adam Scott plays Ohm, a successful author on a trip […]

OVER YOUR DEAD BODY MOVIE REVIEW If you never got to see the 2021 Norwegian film The Trip, you missed out on a crazy, bloody, constantly surprising good time of an action, horror, comedy film. While you can still find it on Netflix, now we’ve got the American remake Over Your Dead Body. And you […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN This week, the boys wade into a radioactive swamp as they tackle 1988’s Hell Comes to Frogtown. Joining them for the amphibious apocalypse is founder of the One of Us network, Chris Cox, who helps make sense of a world where fertility is currency, discovers the awful […]

POWER BALLAD MOVIE REVIEW If you don’t recognize the name of the director of Power Ballad, John Carney, you should. He fills a niche in film that you didn’t know you needed: smart, funny, and endearing films about people for whom music plays an important part of their lives. Go see Once, Sing Street, and […]

PRETTY LETHAL MOVIE REVIEW A troupe of ballerinas who are having trouble working together effectively somehow still get invited to a prestigious competition in Hungary. When their bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they find a giant hotel to give them shelter. The place is run by a former ballerina, Devora (Uma Thurman) […]

READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME MOVIE REVIEW This sequel to the successful 2019 horror comedy begins exactly where the first one ended: Grace (Samara Weaving) having a smoke after having completely smoked her new in-laws. But a power vacuum has been created by the elimination of this rich clan, and other wealthy clans […]

UNDERTONE MOVIE REVIEW We here at oneofus.net have some experience with recording/editing podcasts all alone at night in spooky houses (some of us doing it while a beloved family member lies dying nearby). For those of us who can identify, this is a potentially very unsettling situation. Thus it is for Evy (Nina Kiri) who […]

THE BRIDE! MOVIE REVIEW The 2020s seem to be the era of the return of the Universal monster. Not that you’d always recognize them as such. I suspect original director of The Bride of Frankenstein James Whale would be very confused by the existence of The Bride! but given that he was, in his time, […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 371: THAT’LL DO, PODCASTERS Chris and Wright punish themselves and you with some more bad Drumpf impressions as they cover some of the best physical media coming out. With apologies to Arrow and Shaw Brothers fans for a truncated look at the really great Shawscope Vol. 4 set, we nevertheless trudge through. […]

TRASH ON THE TUBE: STEEL MAGNOLIAS A year after our previous installment because we forgot we do mini-episodes, Trash on the Tube is back! We watched the TV series pilot sequel to the beloved movie/play that’s sweeter than Shelby’s juice, Steel Magnolias. Be sure to tune in again next year when we suddenly remember we […]

HOW TO MAKE A KILLING MOVIE REVIEW The human quokka Glen Powell stars as Becket Redfellow, a man on death row telling a priest his life story hours before his execution. His mother was the heir to an enormous fortune when she got impregnated by a…gasp…’commoner’. Her father, Whitelaw (Ed Harris) demanded she terminate it […]

CRIME 101 MOVIE REVIEW We love a good heist movie, especially when it focuses on both the cops and the robbers as primary characters. Here, in writer/director Bart Layton’s Crime 101 you’ve got a lot of the genre tropes ticking. There’s the good master thief (Chris Hemsworth) who never lets anyone get hurt and has […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: RAMPAGE This week, the boys completely lose the plot (through no fault of their own) as they tackle 1997’s Rampage. Comedian Brendan K. O’Grady joins the chaos to help decipher a vigilante thriller where absolutely everyone mumbles, no location is ever established, and all murder investigations begin at Joe’s Crab Shack. […]

WUTHERING HEIGHTS MOVIE REVIEW There have been a LOT of film and tv adaptations of Wuthering Heights, author Emily Bronte’s single novel from 1847. It’s been translated into different languages, different settings, times, and genres. Like a lot of romantic dramas, the love story is deeply problematic in the sense that these are two very […]

PILLION MOVIE REVIEW One of the biggest award winning and best reviewed films of 2025 was one that might not be on your radar at all. With an American release from A24 this directorial debut by Harry Lighton has garnered lots of attention in the indie cinema world. But why have you not heard about […]

THE MOMENT MOVIE REVIEW There have been plenty of musical biopics, concert films, and documentaries about incredible music artists, but none like The Moment. The film stars pop music star, Charli XCX, playing a version of herself in this warped comedic mockumentary about the tail end of her iconic “Brat Summer” tour. As Charli prepares […]

SHELTER MOVIE REVIEW There are three kinds of Jason Statham films. #1- Part of an ensemble cast of folks, pretty much always action-based, and more often than not a Guy Ritchie movie (Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Ghosts of Mars). #2 – Action with some comedy but usually batshit crazy cartoon stuff (Crank, […]

SEND HELP MOVIE REVIEW Legendary director Sam Raimi isn’t the most prolific of filmmakers. His last film was Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022 and before that it was 2013’s Oz The Great and Powerful. But to go back to the genre he is certainly best known for, horror, you have to […]

MERCY MOVIE REVIEW Imagine that an AI that has taken control of our legal system as judge, jury, and executioner. Those accused of capital crimes who are ranked above a certain percentage of being likely to be guilty are given 90 minutes to defend themselves in front of an AI judge and prove their innocence […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 369 – CHRIS KNOWS MORE ABOUT JAWS THAN WRIGHT More on that title in the the third act of this typically epic length episode of Chris and Wright discussing the latest in physical media. But the other stuff you have to look forward to is legion: the film that beat out Jaws […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: SUPERGIRL (1984) This week, the boys look to the skies (and immediately regret it) as they take on a baffling superhero misfire. Critic and One of Us contributor, Frank Calvillo, joins the boys to help make sense of horny witches, the world’s slowest car accident, and the wiggiest wigs that ever […]
