DIFF 2025 Day 4: Andre is an Idiot, All That We Love, and Toxic
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.

“The Screamy is given in recognition of achievements (or lack thereof) in direction, performance, and “should have’s” that represents Wilhelm’s iconoclasm and overall opinionated views during “the previous year.”
Tonight, we invite you to Scream, sit back, and enjoy.

On today's show we look at the Oscar contenders "Emilia Perez," and "Conclave." We also finish our look at the filmography of Kelly Reichardt with a beautiful and funny take on the creative process (and more) in "Showing Up." Brock loses his Silly Putty, so stay tuned to future episodes to see if he finds it.
