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.

Another entry in our DIFF interview series. This time, a documentary: DIY: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Punk Rock. It's a doc that's true to its name, and ethos--as are the filmmakers Joel Herrera and Rolo Cantu.

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.' We can't wait for you all to see this movie when it hits screens. Good Lord, these two are the absolute best.
