Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?
Brock Kingsley and Jason Wiseman discuss and review movies worth watching in a way that nerd-ish types do when they sit down to chat. Passionate opinions, (bad) inside jokes, obscure references, and rants; there will be rants. Often irreverent, sometimes insightful. Plus, occasional special guests and special topics.
Episodes
It's part one of our holiday gift exchange! The gifts that Brock gave Jason were the films: Mami Wata, Only the River Flows, and Suzhou River. Also discussions about the Letterboxd rental program, MoviePass, and Police Academy 5: Mission to Moscow. They all connect...somehow.

Another episode, another Altman film. This time, the forgotten/under seen, Images from 1972, starring Susannah York and Renee Auberjonois. We also talk two new films: The Smashing Machine (the first solo-Safdie), and the latest from Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia. And we touch on the QT vs. Paul Dano affair and which billionaire controls the future of movies.

We're back with a double feature of Good Boys: Good Boy (2022) and Good Boy (2025). And we also continue our journey into the early-Alts with Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Brock's dog, Marcy, asks the question: what about good girls? And was Ed Burns too good looking?

Hey, Screamers, we have a special guest on today's episode! It's 'Rugby' Ryan Morris, and he's here to help us talk about three films: Lurker, Relay, and another one from Robert Altman, Brewster McCloud. We also chat about sumo, disposable income, movies we're looking forward to, and so much more. Enjoy!
Check in with Ryan and keep tabs on what he's doing with the Aggie Arthouse
On today's episode: three films that ask the question: yes, but at what cost? Albeit in very different ways. We're talking "Him," Spike Lee's Kurosawa re-imagining, "Highest 2 Lowest," and our first trip to the early Alts with Robert Altman's "Mash." At least one of these films was fun to watch.

We're a little late to the party, but, hey, we were busy--we finally talk 'Together', and 'Weapons' Two buzzy horror films. We also look back at 1994s 'The Crow.' And also, Brock apologizes to Chloe Zhao. He hopes she forgives him.

This will be last Amanda Kramer film for a while until So Unreal and By Design are released. But rest assured, when that happens, we'll be on it.

We're back with a new "regular" episode after a string of interviews and festival recaps (which we hope you enjoyed). Today, we dig into all kinds of stuff and it takes us all kinds of places. On the docket: I Know What You Did Last Summer (lega(c)sequel); 28 Years Later; Good Will Hunting (dangerous banger); and Please Baby Please (the Amanda Kramer Experience). Have fun!
The last in our DIFF Interview series: we sit down with 'Motherland' director Evan Matthews. Such a rewarding, vulnerable discussion. This film is one that raises so many issues and forces the viewer to ask themselves important questions. Watch this one over and over once it becomes available.

This was such a wonderful conversation with the filmmakers Biliana and Marina Grozdanova. 'Eastern Western' is a beautiful immigrant story--and so much more. It really was our honor to talk to these wonderful artists and people. 'Eastern Western' premiered at DIFF, so keep your eyes open for your chance to catch this at a theater or screener near you.
