Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?
Brock Kingsley & Jason Wiseman
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.

#137September 26 · 1 hr 44 minBuffet Infinity, Hurlyburly, and Robert Altman's Quintet
We are back, screamers! And we have three wildly different films to talk about. First up is the narrative-in-commericals film "Buffet Infinity," followed by a conversation about hideous men, "Hurlyburly." We wrap up with another entry into the early Alts with the frozen dystopian "Quintet." We also talk about the nascent fascism of Spider-man, and the surveillance nature of superhero movies.

#126May 2 · 27 minDIFF 2026: See You, Soon with Jay Pendarvis Jr.
Jason sat down with writer/director Jay Pendarvis Jr. to discuss his short film, See You, Soon. See You, Soon is "an intimate, character-driven drama about grief, memory, and the weight of unfinished conversations." It's powerful, moving, and looks beautiful. Pendarvis manages to pack a whole lot into 10 minutes. We cannot wait to see what he does next. He's definitely one to watch.
