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.

This one's a doozy. Two new-ish films: 'The Iron Claw,' and 'The Book of Clarence.' Plus we wrap up our look at the films of Hal Hartley with three of his shorter films and the Sarah Polley vehicle 'No Such Thing.' Lots of side tangents in this one, screamers.
