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
We're back with our interviews from DIFF. On this episode, we chat with the director and cast of 'The Confession.' This film is nuanced, and layered--a movie that only gets better the more you watch it.
More DIFF interviews coming soon.

More DIFF interviews coming May 12.

Tonight, we invite you to Scream, sit back, and enjoy.

The films discussed are 'Heretic,' 'Azrael,' and Kelly Reichardt's 'Night Moves.' Tangential discussions of the Bob Dylan biopic and the Robbie Williams 'biopic' also occur.
