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.

'Speak No Evil' (Hollywood edition) and 4 Football Films
Saturday Sep 28, 2024
Saturday Sep 28, 2024
It's football season, so we're talking football movies. Four of them, to be exact: The Best of Times, All the Right Moves, Wildcats, and The Program. Hard hitting cinematic gridiron... We also yell about the remake of Speak No Evil.
Also, Jennifer Warnes did, in fact, sing a rendition of Leonard Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat.

We're in close quarters today, Screamers. The latest from Kit Zuahar is a delicious look at intimacy; 'Twilight of the Warrior' is a kick-ass Hong Kong action flic, and Gregg Araki's 'Kaboom' ranks higher for us than 'Smiley Face.' Hope you enjoy.

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'
Saturday Aug 17, 2024
Saturday Aug 17, 2024
"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.
