One of us is Board: Recent Episodes
Sam and Calum
Welcome to One of us is Board, a professionally unprofessional film podcast where two film graduates prove that a degree doesn't equate to knowing what the hell you're talking about when it comes to the movies. Why not join us and let us know what we got wrong! (All complaints to Calum please, he'd love to hear them)
American Psycho (2000) is the last film in our unlikeable protagonists month! We may have jumped the shark with this one. How? Well, no sh*t Sherlock is a serial killer a little bit unlikeable. This particular potential serial killer is especially heinous, so it almost feels a little unfair to compare poor little Danni Sanders to him. Norman Bates does segue us nicely into Halloween month though.
Join us next week as we kick off our Spoopy Slasher Month with Scream (1996).
Ruby Sparks (2012) is up next on our Unlikeable Protagonists Month and wow is the guy in this unlikeable. Consent issues aside, the biggest crime he commits against humanity is being a terrible author. How dare you make us listen to terrible prose. We shall not stand for this. We have a lot of fun chats about men written by women and women written by men in this one, so you're in for a treat.
Join us next week as we watch American Psycho (2000)
Not Okay (2022) kicks off our unlikeable protagonist month and the beginning of our comeback tour! Did you miss us? We missed you! We decided to ease ourselves back in by watching films in which we are encouraged to judge people harshly. Not that we need encouragement to do that. Bonus fun factor, we also get to rate this film in terms of O'Briens! A winner of an episode all around!
Join us next week as we watch Ruby Sparks (2012)
In From The Side (2022) wraps up our sad bullshit month, otherwise known as 'Not Like Other Movies' month. We're finishing strong and clueless, as we know very little about the moshpit sports ball. However, we do know a little something or two about Henrys. You're even getting a longer episode so we can properly whinge about him.
There won't be an episode next week as we're off on our usual Summer break. Fear not as we will be back in August with our Unlikeable Protagonist Month!
The Breakfast Club (1985) is next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month. We're going to conveniently drop the Sad Bullshit thing for a week because this isn't all that sad. This is one of those films that everyone has seen (apart from Sam), so you'll probably hate what we have to say (it's not bad). Tag yourself, I'm the flare gun that went off in the locker.

Lilting (2014) is up next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month, otherwise known as 'Sad Bullshit' month. If you like awkward dancing, stubborn old ladies, and Alan; this film is perfect. If you like all your audio in sync with your visuals, you might have a bit of a tough time. We land somewhere in the middle of those two sides.

The Selfish Giant (2013) is up next in our 'Not Like Other Movies' month, more fondly known as 'Sad Bullshit' month. This film fits the theme perfectly! You may have guessed by the title that it's based on the Oscar Wilde short story, and it kind of is if you squint and spin around a bit. Or not. If someone would like to explain how it's related we'd be happy to hear it.

It's Calum's birthday month which means we get a brand new theme picked by him! A Ghost Story (2017) kicks off our 'I'm Not Like Other Movies' month, otherwise known as 'Sad Bullshit' Month. That's right dear listener, most of the films are going to be depressing hipster movies. Are you hyped to have an existential crisis with us? If so, you're in luck! We get weirdly philosophical in this one.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) is the last film in our unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month and it is possible that we may have been led astray by the internet again. Why did you mean-spirited meanies tell us this film was bad? Why did we listen? The whole joke of this month was for this film and it relied upon it being an unnecessary sequel. Alas. And yes, we are mostly fine with THAT opening scene.
Join us next week for a new theme! It's Calum's birthday month so we shall be watching sad bullshit.

Spider-Man 3 (2007) is up next in the unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month! Now, does this film belong here? Or did the internet being mean only make us think this belonged here? Probably the latter. Has anyone seen this film recently? Yeah, it's cringey, but it's fun cringe. So join us as we celebrate Tobey Maguire in all his dorky glory. We hope you have your eyeliner and straighteners ready.

Shrek Forever After (2010) is up next in our unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month! Quick! What is your favourite Shrek film? If you didn't answer Shrek 2 (2004), you are wrong. Sorry if that was you, dear listener. What we can all agree on, is that your favourite Shrek film probably isn't Shrek Forever After. Or Shrek the Third (2007) for that matter. You can choose between the first or second one.

Toy Story 4 (2019) kicks off the unnecessary sequel to the unnecessary sequel month, where we will be watching unnecessary sequels to necessary sequels. The concept is a little confusing so we thought we'd start easy. For example, Toy Story 2 (1999) is one of the best sequels of all time. Toy Story 3 (2010) gets away with it because of nostalgia. However, did we need another movie after that? We'll let you be the judge.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002) concludes our unnecessary sequel month, and man is this is a weird one. Did you watch the end of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and despair that Quasimodo never got laid? No? Neither did we. However, Disney decided that this would simply not do so they made a pretty girl for him to go out with. Yes, he's just as shallow as everyone else. No local bog witch dating apps for him!

Titanic II (2010) is up next on our unnecessary sequels month! Oh? You thought it was going to be Space Jam: A New Legacy? Well, you must have heard wrong. After all, how could we pass up the opportunity to see a gigantic boat crash a second time? What a twist! Will this be the film that finally adds a 'bored' tally to Sam's list? How could it? Surely the stakes have never been higher?

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023) is the second film in our unnecessary sequel month. Does it deserve to be here? Probably. Tell us what happens in the first Chicken Run film. Quickly. See? Unless you're one of the top stans, you probably don't remember. Why is that the case? Well, the first one was made in 2000 and while it is good, it's never really been spoken of again in the wider public sphere.

Mulan II (2004) kicks off our Unnecessary Sequel Month, and we may have unnecessary sequel'd too close to the sun. For those not in the know, Mulan is Sam's favourite film ever. Which is why this horrific betrayal stings so much. Ever wanted to see your favourite characters turned into poor imitations of themselves? Just watch literally any Disney sequel, but especially this one. Can we find something redeeming? Listen and find out!

Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005), otherwise known as The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D (2005), is the last film in our Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. It's been a fun dive into the very early 2000s, but all good things must come to an end. Will we be able to bore Calum to tears yet again? Here's hoping. Watching a 3D film without the 3D effects is going to help on that particular quest: that's for sure.

The Water Babies (1978) is up next in our Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. Alternate subheadings for this episode include; obesity to the rescue and racist tuna. So, you know you are in for a treat today. This is possibly the most fever-dream-like of all the films we have done this month, but a lot of that is probably down to it being a 70s release.

Barbie of Swan Lake (2003) is up next in our Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. Now, if you're a Barbie cinematic verse connoisseur like myself and my siblings (and my mum), you'll know that this is the inferior of the original four Barbie movies. It is, however, the most fever-dream-like one. There will be no wholesome duets about wanting to be a poor person, instead we have high-pitched noises. I do hope you're all enjoying this month, because Calum isn't, and isn't that a joy in itself?

Aquamarine (2006) is up next on Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back. 2006 was the year of Mermaids, but Calum somehow missed out on all the fun. No worries though, as we are giving him a taste of it here! He's decided to show his age (72) in this episode, as he's back to clutching those pearls. This is apt because, well, Mermaids. Besides that, we frolic in the sun and fantasize about Raymond, so you're in for a treat this week.

Welcome to March and a brand-new theme month! This month we've given Sam's sisters the controls, and they've decided we're kicking off with Bratz Babyz (2006). As you can tell from this first pick, Childhood Fever Dream Month II: The Siblings Strike Back is going to be an adventure. If you're a fan of Foley artists, you will love this film! If you don't, and you're under the age of 30, you won't have any idea what we're talking about. It is on YouTube for free though!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) wraps up our month of Indiana Jones, as sadly all good things must come to an end. This film isn't the most beloved of the series, but does it deserve all the hate it gets? Spoiler alert; no it doesn't. The 80s aren't coming back, you need to let them go. Move on. If you can manage that, you'll have quite a good time with this. Indiana Jones retires in Glasgow, and that's canon now.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) is up next in our Indiana Jones month! We're back chasing another Christian artefact, only this time we have Sean Connery Jones along for the trip. He stans the grail harder than anyone else, so be ready for some criticism on that. We do have a treat for you as this episode is full of fun facts! Are we trying to entertain you, or set up reels? You'll never know.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) is up next in our Indiana Jones month! You may have already heard us talk about this film on the Film vs Film podcast, where we lost. Watching this again for our podcast has made us realise that we were robbed of a win. You hear us, Martin? We should have won. Justice for the temple of petty, as Harrison Ford is at his peak here in so many ways.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) helps us to kick off our month of Indiana Jones. If anyone can think of a better name, please feel free to send it along. This week we are looking for the Ark of the Covenant and it is being guarded by many tiny danger noodles. Luckily, Calum is a fan of them, so we should be just fine to get our extreme face care routine on the go. After all, you can't have acne if you don't have skin.

Howl's Moving Castle (2004) is the second and last film of our half-hearted Steampunk month! What a rollercoaster it's been, and thank goodness we have something so positive to end on. Sorry to all the fans of this film, for we never gave it a chance until now. We were wrong and we do perform a ukulele apology in the middle of this episode to stay tuned to hear that. However, if anyone can tell us why Sophie ages and de-ages randomly throughout the film, we would very much appreciate it.

Wild Wild West (1999) is our first official episode of 2024 and it kicks off our Half-hearted Steampunk Month! What a way to begin the year. Is it the most offensive film ever made? Not at all, but it certainly does try. If you have a niche kink for both spiders and steampunk, you're gonna have a fantastic time with this one. If you're a Calum, you're gonna have a less good time.

Happy Anniversary to us! It's been three years of One of us is Board, and we've decided to celebrate by watching two of Britain's most depressing films: Threads (1984) and When The Wind Blows (1986). In this special episode, we decide which of these bleak looks at a nuclear apocalypse makes us want to cry more. That is genuinely the main criterion for this, so buckle in. Please don't fret, however, as we are back to our usual shenanigans next week.

Best. Christmas. Ever! (2023) is our final film of our Christmas Inception month and our final episode of 2023. So, was it the best Christmas film ever? Of course not. We know what we're in for when it comes to these 90-minute Netflix Christmas films. However, it did lead to us discovering the true meaning of Christmas, and really, what more can you ask for?
Have a great Christmas and a fantastic 2024! Consider giving us the gift of a follow, so that you can be the first to know when we come back in January.

A Castle For Christmas (2021) kicks starts our Christmas Inception fortnight. This week, and the next, we will be looking at Christmas Netflix films that are referenced in other Christmas Netflix films. A Castle For Christmas was featured in last year's Christmas film, Falling For Christmas. This one is set in Scotland so you get some bonus rants - don't say we don't treat you well.

The Outfit (2022) is the final film in our Dylan O'Vember month and, spoiler alert, we've decided to end on a high. For those who aren't long-term stans, you may not know that we have covered this film already. We did a quick episode after attending the UK premiere. So why did we watch it again? Because it's Dylan O'Vember and this is a top-tier film that deserves two episodes. Join us as we fangirl and watch Dylan hide in a box for half a film!

Flashback (2020), known in an alternative reality as The Education of Fredrick Fitzell (2020), is our third film of Dylan O'Vember! This is a very trippy and confusing film that no one but Dylan O'Brien fans has heard of. So, why did we choose to talk about it? Well, because every Dylan O'Brien film deserves its time in the sun and also because we want our audience to reassure us that we aren't deeply unintelligent. Please watch this film and confirm that it is baffling (it's worth it for the ending sequence).

Deepwater Horizon (2016) is up next in our Dylan O'Vember month! This is a film based on the Deepwater Horizon explosion that happened in 2010, which we admittedly do not know much about. So please don't judge us when we get things wrong (like we usually do). Should this have been a film so soon after the disaster? Maybe not BUT ethics aside, we do get a lovely view of a mud-covered Dylan.

We're watching American Assassin (2017), which only means one thing. Welcome to the best month of the year; dear listener it is officially Dylan O'Vember. We'll be celebrating Sam's favorite, by watching some of his less-known films and being very, very kind about them (Sam and Calum are definitely in agreement about this). Get ready for discussions of bad puns, celebrities, and radioactivity.

It's almost Halloween, and we're watching The Faculty (1998) to conclude our Month of Dread. The Faculty isn't exactly a beloved horror classic, but will we love it anyway? We've had to suffer a bit to get through this month, so will baby Frodo stabbing aliens in the eye with a pen full of caffeine pills save the day? Well, at least this one is in colour and has spoken dialogue.

Gaslight (1944) is up next on our Month of Dread. So, you know how everyone likes to use the words 'lying' and 'gaslighting' interchangeably now? Well, get ready to see the difference played out for you. This film (or the play) actually originated the term, which is mostly why we ended up watching it. So, why has a 1944 film suddenly become relevant again in 2023? We don't know, we are but humble film graduates.

The Amityville Horror (1979) is up next in our month of dread. The month's name has changed many times, but what's a Halloween month without some chaotic whimsy? You'll have to suffer through this episode, much like Calum and Sam have been suffering in real life; beware the snottery sick voice and tired tones of someone attempting a move. Much like the couple in this film actually; only with more swines and less axes.

Nosferatu (1922) is the perfect inclusion to our Old School Horror month because you can't get much more old school than 1922! You can't do a Halloween month without watching the original horror template. Okay, so, we did do that for the two years prior but we've fixed it now. What we lack in dialogue, we make up for in plot holes, hamster teeth, genuinely spoopy acting, and creepy finger-sucking.

It's October and you know what that means! It's time for the obligatory month of spoopy films! We're returning to the classics this time, starting with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943). Much of our focus, as it always is with Frankenstein films, turned to the monotonous lives of the villagers. However, this time we were also delighted to find an anti-climatic ending to go alongside them. Oh, and a musical number: what joy!

Alas, we've now come to the end of Forgotten Disney Month. We conclude by watching the one film on this list that was a financial success, Chicken Little (2005). Despite having a financial impact, it made very little impact on our memories (other than the PS2 game loading screen). Join us as we watch this mean-spirited iteration of what is a very dull story to start with. Can this film be saved with baseball and aliens? You'll need to listen to find out!

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 be more to this than a solid bop.

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.

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 populous. However, we did miss out on a great time in this case. Spoiler; this episode contains genuine enthusiasm and delight. Your regularly scheduled negativity isn't to be found here. Don't worry, we're sure it'll be back when we come back in August!

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.

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? We'd love to hear your thoughts if you've watched this film.

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 watch as a lovely old lady, Yoon Jeong-hee's Mija, suffers in many ways. We're not sure what it says about Calum that he discussed this to celebrate his birthday, but it certainly says something. Join us next week as we travel to Mexico and watch Y tu mamá también (2001)

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 Pokémon, he sure does get captured a lot. Hilariously, Rita Ora is part of the team that keeps him hostage, which is doubly embarrassing on his part.

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 thing we watched. This is definitely one of those instances in which we've watched it so you don't have to.Join us next week for Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-of-us-is-board/message
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. Having suffered through a number of video game adaptation movies, including the other Super Mario Brothers movie, we are more than qualified to say whether this is a good adaptation or not. In our expert opinion, it's pretty solid. Ha, bet you didn't expect us to say that.Join us next week as we watch Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-of-us-is-board/message
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 limiting it was. This was a blessing because it stopped this podcast from becoming a self-indulgent radio station instead of a self-indulgent film podcast. It was so close to happening. We had an "our favourite albums of 2020" episode planned and everything. So, anyways, did Soul match up to how we remembered it? Did we even remember it? Listen and find out!

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, you might be a little bit confused, but that's okay because that's Sam's permanent state. We talk about useless protagonists, gory deaths, and the unexplainable instance of Sean Bean surviving a film.Join us next week for our 100th Episode! We're going to take a small break from video game month to revisit the first film we covered on this podcast; Soul (2020)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-of-us-is-board/message
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 ready to get into your feels and drown in ours. Also, we stan Spike.Join us next week as we start a brand new theme month!

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 can't move past the amount of American 'good guys' living amongst the Russian 'bad guys' in this film. The people who didn't and did attempt Russian accents in this are sus is all we're saying. We've provided you guys with a bonus sexy voice at the very start of this episode; you're welcome.

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. This episode discusses questionable animation choices and the ethics behind ALL dogs going to heaven.Join us next week as we watch Anastasia (1997). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-of-us-is-board/message
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-acting ASMR, so you do have that to look forward to (not from us). Yes, we miss Jeff. No, we don't want to talk about it.

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 down after this one. What a month it has been. Do write in to let us know if you think we should rebrand to a permanent Jeff Goldblum tribute show. We will consider it.
In the meantime, join us next week as we watch The Secret of NIMH (1982) and begin our Don Bluth month!

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. Take a shot every time one of us says quirky and then write in to let us know if you lived.Then join us next week for Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/one-of-us-is-board/message
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 so do we love it. 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, and it provides us with peak Goldblum material; so what's not to love? Join us as we discuss awkward laughs and useless chaoticians.

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 film about body horror, illness, and aging. It was a fantastic choice on our part there. If you don't listen to this episode, you're a f*cking drag.

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 to add in a musical and then never speak of in canon. However, a hero named Chris Mitchell (the show's production stage manager) slowly started uploading clips and revealed the script. Eventually, a full edit of the show was uploaded to YouTube so we could finally watch this piece of lost media. Spoiler; Giovanni isn't explicitly said to be Ash Ketchum's dad, BUT THEY DON'T SAY HE ISN'T EITHER SO??

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 amazing plans. We discuss the many lines of our series MVPs (Team Rocket) and enjoy what is inarguably the movie-ist Pokémon movie. Join us next week when we’ll watch Pokémon Live! (2000).

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 Charizard printed on it). Besides that, this film is a celebration of the best things about Pokémon; nineties cheese and Team Rocket.Join us next week as we watch Pokémon 3: The Movie (2000)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/one-of-us-is-board/message
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 too cool to be listening to us. This is why the Pokémon: The First Movie remake on Netflix is trash. No Brother My Brother, no Sam and Calum viewership.

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 made in collaboration between the Borders Youth Theatre, Cap-a-Pie Productions, VOMO, Borders Young Carers and the Scottish Borders Council which you won't have seen unless you were a teenager in the Scottish Borders in the years 2004 to 2005. If that is you, hello, welcome to a super niche episode just for you! If you aren't part of that very select group, please do join us anyway as we make Calum cringe. If you were in the film and you stumbled across this episode, please turn away now.We will be back to our normal Monday schedule on February 6th.

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'll be back mid-January, have a good new year! Also, catch us on the Namely 90s Podcast on December 30th!

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 flimsy; such as the problems with judging the baking competition. There is a fun intro from some of our podcast friends, so make sure to at least listen to that!

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 has a soft spot for. Did it disappoint? Hell no it didn't. We had a blast watching this and we had a blast talking about it. This episode is full of giggles AND you get to hear an embarrassing toilet story from Calum. What's not to love?

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, but at what cost?

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. The nun is fine, but this is the Hélène nation.

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 for a sad time instead of a good time. Join us next week as we watch Madeline (1998)

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 why, but Calum has decided puns are important to include, so watch out for those.

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 and the cat cult doesn't know if musical reincarnation works, so we're gonna say it counts and so should you.

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 shout-out post! That's worth listening to us ramble about how creative the death in this was, right?

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 deliberately drives people into things? We get none of these. Instead, we get a vibrating tire exploding people to death and it's not as cool as it sounds. The true horror is found in how they managed to make the murderous tire film boring.

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 bubble-foam-induced ghosts and the many rules that would hinder their funky disco lives. This is an episode filled with not just terrifying moments, but truly unique sentences that neither of us will probably ever say again.

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 yeeted off a cliff. Bros before hoes, Doc Brown.

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.

The first of the Cornetto was definitely a throwback for us both and we're horrified to realise how old that makes us.

This is a super cheerful film in which we watch two charming seniors slowly wither and die due to acute radiation sickness following a nuclear bomb. Yes, we're aware of the unfortunate timing. It is what it is. Keep calm and carry on, just like this couple did. It went really well for them. We'd be curious to know if anyone else's school decided to traumatise them with this one.

If you have seen it though, you'd know that it's an impossibility to get the two mixed up. Marina is a lot more willing to show her nips. This is an especially exciting episode because we meet Calum's nemesis. Extra points to whoever can figure out what's hidden behind the censor beeps. PM us what you think it is, and we'll give you a wee mention. And remember dear listener, change yourself for your man, especially if you're under 21. It needs done.
Join us next week for the start of Apocalyptic April as we watch When the Wind Blows (1986)

It's March, it's sunny, Sam turned twenty-something, and now we're watching Mousehunt (1997). You guessed right listener, we're living the dream over here. Jealous? Well, you're in luck. You can listen to us and maybe even watch along (if this film even appears on Amazon prime in your country). You want morbid funeral and toiler humour? This film is perfect for you. Despite the fact that Calum giggles at farts (I've HEARD you do it many times, sir), he didn't appreciate the toiler humour and he let's us know about it. Frequently. So you have that to look forward to, dear listener. Join us next week as we watch Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid (1975)

Welcome back to our month of 90's Childhood Fever Dreams, in which we celebrate the birth of Sam by watching the weird crap she watched as a child. This week, we had an amaizing time as we watched VeggieTales. Well, that's a lie, we've bean suffering. We don't carrot all for this series and we don't beet around the bush about it. Peas don't worry, we didn't include any puns in this episode at all. It's a show about Christian vegetables, so it's corny enough without the extra help.

Welcome to Childhood Fever Dream Month! It's entirely possible that we've managed to peak early this month as we start with The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars (1998). No, we didn't opt for the cult classic original. Should we have? Maybe. However, stick with this as we managed to come up with some fan-theories (haha Calum, you've been labelled a fan) that truly make this somewhat forgettable sequel so much better. There are so many sentences uttered in this episode that are possibly the first time certain words have been strung together, for better or worse.

We watched The Outfit (2022) and we thought it was brilliant. What is this positivity, you say? Well, we attended the UK premiere and got some free Prosecco! That alongside the prospect of seeing Dylan O'Brien's pretty face had us super happy before the film even began. This film was genuinely very good and we just wanted to share some of our spoiler-free thoughts in the hopes it encourages some of you to go and see it when it comes out!

Coco (2017) is the final film of February and thus concludes our "Pixar Films That Calum Never Bothered To See" month. We're gonna be real with you, this is mostly a tired ramble about family legacies, music, obscure TV adverts from the early 2000s and the freedom that comes with being forgotten. It sounds a lot more poetic and less confusing than it is, but join us nonetheless. We need the attention.
New month, new theme! March is Sam's birthday month, so join us as we watch some of her "Fever Dream Childhood Movies." We're starting off with The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars (1998) so make sure to join us for that!

Welcome back to "Pixar Films That Calum Has Never Bothered To See" month! This week we watched WALL-E (2008) and had a super cheery chat about how doomed the planet is. We also learned a lot about each other, as we seem to do every episode now. Maybe too much. Drinking game time! Take a shot every time you hear Sam whine about how space is scary and take a shot every time Calum says "post-scarcity" and let us know if you survive!
If you do, why not join us for Coco (2017) next week?

Welcome back to One of us is Board! We had a small burnout break, but we're now back with Ratatouille (2007) as part of our "Pixar films that Calum never bothered to see before now" month. A half-assed name for a half-assed month! This episode is possibly us at our best as we butcher some French accents, ramble about food and drift in and out of the plot in a tired daze.
Make sure to join us next week as we do the same to Wall-E (2008), but without the bad French accents. Probably.

Alas, we have reached the end of Judy January. We knew you guys would be sad about it so we delayed our episode on Judy (2019) so you could savour every last moment of it. It was a deliberate choice we made so that the Ashanti reference in the episode was made even more special. There's no laziness or procrastination to be found here. Anyways, join us as we discuss the triumphant return of two stars, the diva moments we've had to suffer through and Renée Zellweger's well deserved Oscar.
And then join us next week as we start our "Pixar Films Calum Never Bothered See; Apart From Brave, He's Seen That" Month. The title is a work in process. The first film will be Ratatouille (2007)

You can't have a Judy Garland month without including A Star is Born (1954). Well, you could, but it would suck and everyone would get mad at us. We can't have that as we crave only positive attention and adoration, much like the male lead of the this weeks film! We actually got a taste of what our listeners get. As a result of the film being somewhat hacked at and then awkwardly patched together; the first thirty minutes are super confusing. Well, if you can brave that sort of treatment, dear listener, so can we.

Exactly one year ago, with a noticeable shake in our voices, we released our first ever podcast. Oh how times have changed. While we do take a light-hearted view in regards to our journey through making a film podcast, we genuinely have learned a lot. This bonus episode is an excuse for us to talk about how we got started and how other people wanting to make a podcast can do so. We want to thank everyone who has listened to us over the past year and we hope that this next year is even better!

Welcome back to Judy January! This week we watched Meet Me in St Louis (1944) and had a very twee time. Now, we know what you are all wondering. Yes, the title song lies. It's Lewis, not Looie; don't worry, we checked. We try very hard to not look like a pair of fuds on this show. Often, we fail. However, in this instance we managed to get that one fact super right. Join us as we discuss Barney the Dinosaur's musical repertoire, why we love himbos and the horrific thoughts of psychotic children (not us).

What better way is there to start off 2022 than to binge a bunch of Judy Garland films? Welcome back to One of us is Board, the professionally unprofessional film podcast obsessed with themed months. We kick off our first show of the year with The Wizard of Oz (1939). You do, admittedly, have to listen to a twenty minute ramble about an unfortunate and traumatic childhood production of the text to get the film chat. BUT stick with it listener, as you are rewarded with an amazing promise for the future near the end. Glinda the Bad Bitch of Oz is going to be the ultimate fanfiction (possibly the next 50 shades of grey), so watch this space and help bully Calum into writing it in its full.

Only a few days until Christmas so we decided to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). We couldn't just do our last themed month of the year without honouring our first ever themed month. The March Month of Muppets Madness will never end (despite how much Calum wishes it would). We're now so knowledgeable about the series, that we decided to create our own characters. You'll need to listen to the episode to hear about Fonzy. Just us on Christmas Eve as we watch The Polar Express (2004)

No edits at Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. We watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) many weeks ago now, but December is not a good month for editing podcasts. Nonetheless, you still have time to enjoy some holiday films with us. We did you a solid and didn't try to rhyme throughout the episode. You're welcome.

Maybe you've come here in the hopes that we will be a safe place for those not interested in the holiday season. Maybe you're hoping we will be our grouchy selves and crap all over the festivities and the films that come with them. Well, dear listener, we are sorry to disappoint.

Mortal Kombat (1995) is a movie that we decided didn't belong in our video game adaptation month. Why? Because we're not very smart. Really, that one fact explains many of our episodes. It is one of the most beloved video game adaptations of all time, so of course we decided to miss it out. We decided to go back and revisit it as one of our last films of 2021 and hopefully that'll make up for it. So, did it hold up? Hell yeah! It was awesome! Nothing like hearing a video game theme played four times in a row to get you hyped! Join us next week as we start our Christmas month! We're gonna start with The Santa Clause (1994)

Welcome back! This week we watched Cats and Dogs (2001) and the podcast went some weird places. This was to be expected. The film is a James Bond parody using cats and dogs, after all. It's wild that this exists and still has some sequels being produced. Lots of important discussions feature in this episode, for example, we debate as to whether Australia really exists. It's worth a listen for that alone, surely. If nothing else it gives you an indication as to how dire the UK's geography education standard is. For the record; we're team dog all the way.

This week we watched Jumanji (1995) and decided it would be fun to take this beloved classic and deliver the most chaotic review possible. No joke. While this is objectively an awful review of Jumanji, it is a fantastic insight into how our minds work. Perhaps this should have went out as a Halloween episode. It's genuinely sounds like we gave a pair of five year olds a shot of espresso and making them stay up past their bedtimes. So, good luck dear listener. Please do stick with it and let us know if you prefer the "less structured" style.

You thought Halloween month being done meant the horror was over? You thought wrong. This week we watched Diana: The Musical (2021) and well, yeah. It's just about as tasteful as you could expect, yet somehow the most boring show we've ever watched. You have over two hours of what feels like the same song going on forever about a marriage breaking down. Please don't watch it, just listen to us talk about it instead. This episode has a special guest star! Calum's fire alarm apparently didn't like the show either and decided to drain it's battery in protest. This guest consequently features throughout. While it does fit the vibe of the episode, it might be slightly annoying. Many apologies, but you don't come here expecting professionalism anyways. Join us next week as we watch Jumanji (1995) without the special guest.

Happy Halloween, Listener! This week we watched Dracula (1931) and thus concludes our Very Spoopy Halloween. To those who managed to stick with it, congratulations. You are far braver than many. So, does our Halloween specials end with a bang or a whimper? Or does it end with a pile of hate mail as we diss a classic? Who knows. You'll have to listen to find out.

Spoopy Halloween Month continues! Make sure to listen with the lights firmly turned on as this week watched The Wolf Man (1941). Now, to say that the film is questionable is an understatement. It's possibly really fortunate that the film is in black and white. What are we talking about? Just look at the poster. Questionable. Arguably though, our review of this film is just as questionable as the film, so you have that to look forward to.

How to survive a zombie apocalypse, is a favourite topic of conversation for many. Especially socially awkward party go-ers.

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 episode is a blast, but do bear with us as we get all the names wrong. To be fair, they've named Frankenstein, Henry, and have given his best friend his original name. It's confusing! Why film? Why? The spoopiest part of this whole thing is the unusual amount of positivity and enthusiasm. Who'd have thought all it'd take to make Calum happy was watching a kid being unceremoniously chucked in a lake?

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.

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 just so painfully mean-spirited. That all being said, please join us as we struggle through this together.

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).

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?

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?

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 of place music and Jo's single tear. Should be noted that none of them were born in the 50s, so we don't know why it's called Back to the 50's (other than the fact they wanted to shamelessly rip off Back to the Future). Bonus!

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 forgettable? This is a really fun episode, so we hope you enjoy our descent into madness.

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 monsters, so Luca is really the perfect premise for us. It could even be seen as a documentary of our ideal version of existence. Genuinely.

Never. Join us as Sam rips into a character Calum likes and the pair of them pick holes in a film that has already been ripped to shreds.

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.

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 is a film that only Calum is allowed to mock, so keep that in mind if you decide to watch and do your own review.

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.

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 Mariah Carey if she spat on him? We're sure you're all dying to know, so be sure to have a listen! Join us next week as we talk about Onward (2020)

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 a great time. If you're a normal person, well, at least your kids might like it?

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 the very least it's entertaining to hear about.
Join us next week as we talk about Shrek the Musical (2010). If we had to suffer through it, we had better get numbers for it.

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. Exaggeration or truth? You'll need to listen to find out.

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 really worth a watch. While you don't have to watch it before listening to us waffle on, you might want to as we dive pretty deep in (not that the ending of the documentary is a spoiler at this point).
Next week we watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) because who wants consistent tone? Not us!

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 cause Sam is in denial that the Muppets month is ending and was hoping that she could prolong it indefinitely by simply refusing to edit the last one. If it had to end, at least it ends with this one. Next week we take a dive into the opposite direction as we watch Everybody's Everything (2019). We hope you'll join us then!

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 good, well, listen and you'll find out. This is another one where we do have to hype up the soundtrack. It's really quite good and the world is miserable so you should listen to it and be happy.

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 recommend giving the soundtrack of this one a go if you wanna get addicted to some catchy tunes and embarrass yourself as your friends on Spotify watch you listen to the new version of Rainbow Connection on repeat.
We hope you'll join us next Wednesday when we watch Muppets Most Wanted

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 break guys. Just go on holiday. Next week we continue our March Month of Muppets Madness with The Muppets (2011).

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'll also be treated to some movie trivia and the answers to the questions everyone has been curious about. Like, what is Calum's favourite muppet(s)?
From here on out, Podcasts will be released every Wednesday at 5pm!

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 watched Circle (not to be mistaken with 'The Circle,' another show that is eerily similar) watch it with a friend. No, seriously. We've come to the conclusion that watching this film is better off as a team sport.
Don't forget to join us next week as we begin our March Muppets Madness Month!

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 opinion of the film, our review spoils most of 'The Platform' (2019) so please proceed with caution if it's on your watch-list.

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 is a perfect one to start with.

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, so don't spoil it for yourself by listening to us waffle first (but please do come back when you've watched it).

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.
