DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 360: THE TOXIC SPY WHO LOVED ME John and Chris have a rare and fun assignment: go straight through the first six Sean Connery James Bond films in a newly released 4k set. Aside from that task, which transposes to some extent their feelings about the earliest incarnation of the superspy, they […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 359 – THIS PODCAST, EVERYONE LISTENING TO IT, THEIR EXPERIMENT Chris and Wright have some heavy lifting to do here if humanity is to survive our nightmarish future. That means turning you on to the right home release movies (it’s key, don’t question it, your ancestors will thank us). That means diving […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 358: SPEED RUN I know, I know, when we get these giant stacks to cover, we always say we are gonna race through them and then we never do and you end up with a 3 hour episode. Well, Voila: John and Chris make the announcement for a speed run with their […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 357: THE EP ADDED TO THE NATIONAL FILM REGISTRY BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS No, not really, but we do have a TON of films to talk about this week that were added to the National Film Registry. So, ya know, really good. Wright and Chris have trouble keeping from over-gushing about […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 356: OMG WRIGHT IS A ROBOT! Mighty belchy here in the Digital Noise studios this week as Wright and Chris made the poor decision to gorge on Indian food before the show. But the show is a gas as we look at one of the greatest films ever made that neither one […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 355: THE GREATEST STACK OF ALL TIME It’s vanishingly rare that we have a week that both reviewers ‘more or less’ enjoyed every movie in our stack (I don’t think it’s EVER happened that we LOVED every title) so for John and Chris, this was a landmark of ‘yeah, this was okay’. […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 301: FROM BAD TO REALLY BAD “Two Austin Awards Nominated” Sir John Gholson (we’re never going to hear the end of that one) and Chris Cox take on a mixed bag of films this week. I say mixed bad and I mean, trending downward. From the sexploitation film that inspired Kill Bill, […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 293: FUNKY BLUE MONKEY Poor Wright. Chris always sticks him with the wacky stack. This week is no exception as he and Chris look at the coolest teen girl who runs a Yakuza clan, the most 80s version of Phantom of the Opera ever, JCVD punching out rattlesnakes, Donnie Yen basically kicking […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 292: THE SEDUCTION OF JOHN GHOLSON John and Chris get all the home releases to talk about and this week’s they are going for a double-dip of classic Alan Alda, a goofy 80s horror gem that was new to both of them, Charles Bronson defending his watermelons, one of the best 70s […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 291: 4K CHRISTMAS IN THE HOUSE John and Chris knock out a quick one this week with a look at a stack of new 4k discs including a long-awaited horror sequel, an upgrade to one of the greatest Batman stories ever told, the film that (arguably) started “The Brat Pack”, and more […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 290: AARON IS A YOKAI MONSTER Aaron returns to the show and he and Chris deal with a LOT of superhero stuff, weird Japanese spirit/monsters in the 60’s and what Miike did with them, the horniest and foulest cartoon cat of all time, some long overdue classics(?) in 4k, and much more. […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 289: WHO WANTS THE HOBBIT? Chris and Wright tremble before the mighty stack of home releases to discuss this week. Some good. Some great. Some OMG great. Some meh. You know, the usual. Join us as we encounter a 2-fer for fast-forward possession from Italy, gasp at both the beauty and the […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 288: UNIVERSAL MONSTERS VS THE DROOGS John and Chris take on a mighty, towering stack of home releases with a huge mix of stuff and a lot of 4k re-releases, including one of the most disturbing but also acclaimed science fiction films ever made, Tarantino playing around with WWII history, and a […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 286: OVERBOARD WITH 4KS John and Chris have a mixed bag of classics, both under and over rated this week as we look at two early Argento films upgraded to 4k, a Japanese art-house classic on Criterion (depending on which of us you ask), one of the most underrated Steve Martin comedies […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 285: CRITICMEN: THE LONG AUGUST Wright and Chris examine some home releases and find some hidden gems like a shocker of a 70s Canadian siege film, a delightfully quietly simmering thriller about a woman seeking revenge against the father she never knew, the continuation of one of the most popular Batman stories […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 284: HOW WE GOT DEAD AND BURIED BEYOND THE FOG Chris and Aaron have an episode cut out for them with a 80’s underseen horror classic updated to 4k, lots of new Kaiju stuff, a film setting itself up to sit beside Donnie Darko, tales from children’s television that made us cry, […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 282: NOT MY WRIGHT, YOUR WRIGHT! Introducing our new co-host, Wright (new to Digital Noise listeners, anyway). He fits right in as he in Chris go down the rabbit hole of some seriously low-rent horror films, a Lovecraft adaptation that we’re pretty sure was made by swingers, one of the classic Sam […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 281: LOTS AND LOTS OF BLOOD AND SOME SINGING Chris and Aaron have an impressive stack of home releases to cover this week, both in quantity and quality. Listen to them taking a look at the cleanest our fave archeologist has been yet, a reissue on 4k of a surrealist horror masterpiece, […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 280: NIGHTMARE EVIL SHEEP PARTS John and Chris have got it going on with an episode jam packed with really great films and I’ll bet you haven’t heard of the bulk of them. We look at one of the best spaghetti westerns ever made in 4k and it’s NOT by Sergio Leone, […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 279: WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT STUPID CRITIC SUIT? Aaron and Chris got to record in person for the first time together in, well, you know, a while, and they had a great time talking about 4k re-releases of one of the most popular indie sci-fi/horror films ever made as well as […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 278: MY LITTLE GHOST BABY DYNASTY IN 3D Chris and John take on a modest stack this week but with some big and pleasant surprises in it.

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 277: PROMISING RUSSIAN INVISIBLE SOUND Aaron and Chris are up to their usual tricks (and yes, that includes a sung intro…sorry) on this week’s show. They take a look at a Japanese version of a classic Universal monster, a movie about Kubrick’s best friend, animation about Japanese teenage thugs who start an […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 276: DAY OF THE WILD WONDER NOSFERATU Chris and John handle the stack this week and they look at a Klaus Kinski sequel we never knew existed, a spin-off (sort of) from “Wild at Heart” from a legendary Spanish horror director, the thematic ‘sequel’ to “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, and many […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 275: RUNAWAY NORWEGIAN DISASTERS BY HARLEY John and Chris pay homage to one of the great modern superhero animated shows, disdain a non-stop Samurai chop-fest, praise yet another Norwegian disaster film, reminisce about John Hughes movies, ask who chewed the most scenery: Eric Roberts or Jon Voight, and much more. **This podcast […]

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 274: CHILDREN, LOVE, AND EL DUCE Aaron and Chris tackle a stack of home releases including the sadly ignored animated version of a children’s classic book, one of the darkest conspiracy thrillers of the 70s, some really overrated romantic dramas, the travails of a grown up kid detective, and much more. **There […]
