Digital Noise Episode 350: Some Weird Cool Stuff

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 350: SOME WEIRD COOL STUFF Wright and Chris record a Digital Noise episode so long that it should be nominated for Best Picture this year. From a criminally underseen classic in the vein of the Coen Brothers (but not by them), to a Spanish classic where a dog plays Tommy Lee Jones. From the a top three film from one of the best stunt performers in the history of film, to a duo of films by one of the most uniquely strange voices in bad horror filmmaking. We’ve got such sights to show you. So come and solve our puzzle and join us this week as we look through the wonders of home releases. All titles were sent to Digital Noise by the distribution companies in question for the purpose of review. No other compensation was involved. The opinions here are our own.

WE ARE AN AFFILIATE AND RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR PURCHASES MADE FROM OUR LINKS. YOUR REVIEWERS Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss) Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event.

Digital Noise Episode 349: THE LAST 2024 EPISODE IN 2025

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 349: The LAST 2024 EPISODE IN 2025 With the variable pressures of the holiday season, Chris and John are sorry that they were unable to get this Xmas Digital Noise episode up until 2025. And so it goes. But we do have some great stuff to talk about this week from one of the best action films ever made (that you probably have never seen or heard of), to a trilogy of disaffected 90s indie-kid films. From the most expensive but weakest chapter in a sci-fi series, to two of the most inscrutable but fascinating art films ever made. Digital Noise has got it covered.

Digital Noise Episode 348: Late Nite With Chris and Wright

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 348: LATE NIGHT WITH CHRIS AND WRIGHT Some off-color antics pervade this week’s episode of Digital Noise with Chris and Wright and who can blame them? It’s a tough stack. From a collection of the best-worst 80s t**s and teens cheapies, to a rightfully maligned film legend’s daughter giving it her own try. From a duo of genuinely great (definitely greater than “Showgirls“) horror flicks, to the conclusion of a DC series that kills off almost everybody. We got it here for you.

Digital Noise Episode 347: …Featuring John Gholson

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 347: …FEATURING JOHN GHOLSON If John becomes a big star, what are we gonna do? Gotta retitle the podcast. Sorry Wright, it might be confusing to fans for the eps you’re on.

Digital Noise Episode 346: The Men From Digital Noise

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 346: THE MEN FROM DIGITAL NOISE Chris and Wright have a stack that goes all over the place, from deadly electrified motorcycle beach killers to Costner “classics” getting a not-so-great reevaluation. From Bowie playing a con-man working with Rosanna Arquette to rob a restaurant, to a giant spider eating people in an apartment complex. We definitely got it all here at Digital Noise.

Digital Noise Episode 345: Take The Twister Challenge

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 345: TAKE THE TWISTER CHALLENGE John and Chris review a really big stack this week of home releases. Some good. Some bad. Some EXTREMELY bad. And some surprisingly wonderful. From the film that set the standard for hitman movies, to that 90s Gene Hackman thriller on a train you never saw (but should have). From an auteur version of Shakespeare that definitely should be a lot better, to one of the best remastered wonderfully dumb movies ever, we’ve got quite the show for you.

Digital Noise Episode 344: Purple Velvet Fiction Machine

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 344: PURPLE VELVET FICTION MACHINE Chris and Wright have an epic-list this week of titles and despite having a bunch of classics on it, Wright has never seen any of them. From the purple-clad adventures of “The Kid”, to a young Tony Perkins getting a good talking-to from Henry Fonda. From an “Alien” analogue from the director of “Blade”, to a disaffected Richard Gere having lots of sex and getting framed for murder, we got it all.

You should listen and subscribe because then you get to hear stuff like their take on Burt Reynolds trying to do a mature romantic dramedy (not great); How you divvy up one of the most important sci-fi novels ever into two movies and make them both work; Ray Liotta’s SECOND best movie that most folks have never seen; another horror film from the director of Black Christmas and A Christmas Story that for John at least lives up to the hype, and more.

Love this podcast, this is where I learn about not only the movies being released on Blu-Ray, but also the extras that are provided. You get a double-review - the movie and the extras together! And some of the movies are classics or unheard of, and Digital Noise tells you whether it’s worth renting or buying. Great podcast mixed with interesting facts, movie geekiness and humor!

I've been listening to this podcast for a LONG TIME (even back when it was under a different name on Spill.com) and have loved it from the beginning. Chris and his several co-hosts are fantastic and I've discovered so many great movies (new and old) through their informative and hilarious reviews. Check this gem out!
