Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?

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.

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?

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).

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.

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.

O'Despair like Bucket O'Chicken. We're back to discuss another early (early) Gregg Araki film, "The Long Weekend (O'Despair)." It's a lot of people talking a lot about how depressed they are--and it's brilliant. We also talk about "Gasoline Rainbow," the lates "documentary"(?) from the Ross brothers. Hang in there, Screamers.

Let's all keep our heads, Screamers. It's a new episode with talk about the new film 'The Coffee Table,' and the new trailer for 'Twisters.' We're also starting a new series on the films of Gregg Araki by looking at his first film (made for $5k!) 'Three Bewildered People in the Night.' Shorter episodes more often=same Screaming Wilhelm.
