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.

In which we welcome special guest, Dev'n Goodman, or "Dev'n About Town," to talk about Gina Prince-Bythewood's epic The Woman King, a film about powerful women fighting on multiple fronts. Other things that get discussed include Omar Epps' jump shot, Jason loves the Muppets, Brock loves Digital Underground, and Dev'n found out something new about Jedis. Also, Burt Reynolds is the epitome of sexiness.
