Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?

The People's Joker; Vera Drew Conversation; Post-screening Panel

We have a special episode today, Screamers. The Fort Worth Film Club hosted the Fort Worth premiere of The People's Joker on August 28th, and before that screening Brock and Jason recorded a conversation with Vera Drew. After the screening, there was a discussion panel comprised of members from local LGBTQIA groups. It was a fantastic evening and event.
 
The conversation with Vera can also be found on YouTube here

'Starve Acre,' 'Young Guns,' and Gregg Araki's 'Mysterious Skin'

What is "folk horror"? Are we talking about "Young Guns," or "Young Guns 2"? We're not even sure. But we know Gregg Araki's "Mysterious Skin" is a tough but beautiful watch.

'Speak No Evil,' 'Trap,' and Gregg Araki's 'Splendor'

"Speak No Evil" is getting an English-language remake, so we thought we'd dig into the original. Speaking of "horror" we talk a bit about the new M. Night Shyamalan film, "Trap." And we finish it all off with a Kathleen Robertson starring rom-com, Gregg Araki's "Splendor" (which is just like the 1930s film "Design For Living").

'Longlegs,' 'The Vourdalak,' and Gregg Araki's 'Nowhere'

What's so long about those legs? They look like normal legs, to me. We're talking Nic Cage in white makeup and the atmospheric Devil-made-me-do-it thriller, "Longlegs." We also discuss "The Vourdalak," a film that uses marionettes in a way that is...just brilliant. And we continue our look at Gregg Araki's body of work with "Nowhere"--the greatest teen movie ever.

'MaXXXine,' and 'The Doom Generation'

We're back with the second installment of The Teen Apocalypse Trilogy as we look at the anger and angst of The Doom Generation. We also tackle all of Ti West's influences in the pastiche-fest that is MaXXXine. And apparently there's a movie coming next year about a toilette?

Gregg Araki's 'Totally F***ed Up,' and a Brat Pack double bill of 'Brats,' and 'St. Elmo's Fire'

On today's episode: more Araki! We look at the first of the Teen Apocalypse Trilogy with 'Totally F***ed Up.' And we dig into the Brat Pack with Andrew McCarthy's new doc 'Brats' and the movie that set flames to a generation of stars, 'St. Elmo's Fire' (terrible songs in this movie, terrible).

'Hit Man,' 'The Last Stop in Yuma County,' and Gregg Araki's 'The Living End'

Boy, Jason really dislikes 'Hit Man' (more people should). But we talk about some films that he does like, namely 'The Last Stop in Yuma County,' and the prequel (?) to Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, 'The Living End.' Come for the Glenn Howard discussion, stay for the talk about how important Araki is and how he doesn't get his due.

Alamo Drafthouse DFW Reopening Reaction

We interrupt our regular posting schedule to bring you an emergency solo pod, Screamers. While Brock is in Indianapolis seeing movies, Jason has some thoughts on the reopening of the DFW Alamo Drafthouses. It's an episode that's honest, emotional, uncensored...uses interesting metaphors that Jason swears never happened to him. The Wilhelm boys will be back together for the next full episode. Until then, scream along with Jason.
