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

Winner of the International Feature Audience Award at DIFF 2025, Happy as Larry is moving, funny story of a unsatisfied man out for one last adventure. It's a buddy movie, an existential exploration, and a deeply human film. What a great conversation with these guys. Watch out for this one...and watch out for every one involved.
