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.

What a special episode we have for you today. First, we discuss the charming, riotous, bawdy new Spanish film "The Fantastic Golem Affairs," and then we have a conversation with the filmmakers: Burnin' Percebes (Juan González and Fernando Martínez). Listen to the whole episode! Or skip to the conversation with Burnin Percebes (that's the really important part)! Keep an eye out for a screening of "The Fantastic Golem Affairs" near y...
Another episode, another three films you don't necessarily expect to be in conversation with one another...Eddington, Sorry, Baby, and Give Me Pity!
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.

There is no way to accurately describe to you how much fun we had talking to Lindsey and Joey--the duo responsible for the brilliant, funny, touching, insightful, crazy-smart film 'Party People.'

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.

Recorded before our DIFF adventures, this episode delves into two new A24 releases: Opus, and Death of A Unicorn. A24 having its own kind of flavor provided an interesting way to look at these two films. We also continue with our look at Amanda Kramer's filmography with the outstanding, and undersign, Ladyworld.
More DIFF interviews coming May 12.

Due West is a gut punch (in a good way) of a film. It's timely, relevant, and forces viewers to confront preconceived notions. We sat down with director Evan Miller as well as stars Adrianne Palicki and Henry Thomas. Enjoy the conversation.
