John Cassavetes Finale: ’Gloria’, and ’Love Streams’
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.

Remember when studio audiences were a thing? Anyway, in this episode, we're discussing the latest screening from The Fort Worth Film Club: "Real Women Have Curves." And there's more Cassavetes: "The Killing of A Chinese Bookie," and "Opening Night." Something we've found out during this Cassavetes journey: these movies are good, but, man, they're emotionally draining.

Brock and Jason are back to dig into more Cassavetes: the feel-good romp that is "Minnie and Moskowtiz," and the story of a marriage in "A Woman Under the Influence." This man really never got the credit he deserved...
Also, on the pod, the Wilhelm Boys discuss the new film "Bottoms," directed by Emma Seligman, and starring Rachel Sennott, and Ayo Edeberi. It's brilliant. Just brilliant.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Today, we discuss four films that share a sense of anxiety, paranoia...the feeling that something is just a little bit off. We're talking 'Sorry to Bother You,' 'How to Get Ahead in Advertising,' 'Border,' and 'Beau is Afraid.' We also chat about the tyranny of vanity license plates, the commodification of art, and what constitutes selling out? Get in touch, say "hi," tell us how you're doing.

We're back with part two of John Cassavetes. On this episode, we're discussing Cassavetes' films "Faces," and "Husbands." We also dig into the new films (both A24 ventures) "Talk to Me," and "Medusa Deluxe." This episode is full of uplifting messages.

It's another jam-packed episode, Screamers. We're talking the Trash Trilogy of John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Desperate Living) along with the new films 'They Cloned Tyrone,' and 'The Blackening.' We also pay respect to the late, great Paul Reubens. Stick around for some recommendations.

In this episode Brock and Jason dig into the narrative features of Japanese filmmaker/artist/genius Toshio Matsumoto. Matsumoto directed only four narrative films: 'Funeral Parade of Roses,' 'Shura,' 'The War of the Sixteen Year Olds,' and 'Dogura Magura.' There is no way to do Matsumoto justice, but we try anyway. We're all just doing our best.

It's the end of our series on David Gordon Green, screamers. This series didn't turn out quite like we expected. We skip the stoner comedies and jump straight to Green's "return to form" with the films 'Joe' and 'Prince Avalanche.' We also discuss Celine Song's debut 'Past Lives' (which is a perfect film). And Jason works on his Italian accent. Stick around for some recommendations.
