DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 375: THIS ONE GOES OUT TO ZACH Chris vs Wright in the ultimate mano y mano critic showdown! Ok, well, not so much as both of your critics largely agree on everything in physical media we take a look at this week. From a reimagining of a long-running slasher series, to a […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 374: CHRIS GETS WEEPY John and Chris get one of those middlin’ stacks of titles. No hate. Just a lot of meh, but there is some love, especially for a film Chris actually gets teary eyed just discussing with his out of character (for him) deep affection for, and a French film […]

TRASH IN THE CAN: MICHAEL This week, the boys interrogate Michael (2026) like a chimp heavy episode of SVU. Joined by Trash alums Shira More, Nathan Flynn, and Chris Cox, they discuss the “white washing” of Michael Jackson’s life, the expectedly stellar soundtrack, and what might be career-worst performances across the board. Moonwalk, don’t run, […]

LORNE MOVIE REVIEW There has been no shortage of media analysis of the unexpected phenomenon that is Saturday Night Live. More books and documentaries about aspects of it from all different viewpoints have been released than would be practical to print here. But not much in specific is said about the man himself: the guy […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 373: ALMOST A PERFECT SHOW Sometimes it’s just the way it plays out: the stack is just loaded with one great film after another that both critics agree are must-see titles. There are more Oscars associated with this episode’s movies than probably in any single Digital Noise episode ever. And some are […]

This is the simmering tension between mega-popstar Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) and famous fashion designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel). Arriving unannounced at Sam’s giant English countryside mansion in the middle of a huge thunderstorm at night, the stage is set […]

HEART/FELT – A VIABLE FRANCHISE: MUPPETS MOST WANTED In the final regular episode of Heart/Felt, I’m joined by Chris Cox to revisit Muppets Most Wanted. We explore the stellar soundtrack, standout gags, and its place in the Muppet legacy. Don’t worry, I’ll be back with special one-off installments! Until then, as Jim once said, “It’s […]

EXIT 8 MOVIE REVIEW Imagine you’re coming out of the subway, going down those meticulously scrubbed (at least in Japan) white tile tunnels on your way to the surface. You’re looking at your phone and not really paying attention. Then, you notice no one else is around. One guy, seemingly oblivious to you, walks by […]

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE REVIEW Well, I guess we can no longer say that video game movie adaptations aren’t profitable because there have been more than a few of late, notably The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. Now, it’s inevitable sequel is here with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Mario (Chris Pratt) and […]
