Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?: Recent Episodes
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.
Oak Cliff Film Festival is back, and that means there's more Driving Wile Screaming. This time, a very special guest to talk about Joe Swanberg's "The Sun Never Sets."

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.

Welcome back, screamers. On today's show: more of the early-Alts with Altman's take on the private eye (and we mean the private eye: Marlowe) The Long Goodbye. It's a shaggy, laconic tale of friendship, deception, and a man out of time and place. We also wonder what it would be like to be drug lords...but, you know, altruistic drug lords.

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

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" 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").

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.

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.

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.

It's a very special episode, screamers! Recently, the Fort Worth Film Club screened Melvin Van Peebles’ scathing look at white privilege, 1970s Watermelon Man. At our post-screening discussion we were lucky enough to be joined by Mr. Marcellis Perkins, and Dr. Frederick Gooding Jr. It was a candid, lively, enriching conversation, and we are pleased to present that live recording here.
Next episode we’ll be back to wrap up discussion on Hal Hartley and discuss the new(ish) films 'The Book of Clarence,' and 'The Iron Claw.' Until then, enjoy the live conversation with Marcellis and Dr.G.

We're going a little bit out of order in our dive into the films of Hal Hartley. On this episode, we look at The Henry Fool Trilogy: Henry Fool, Fay Grim, and Ned Rifle. The first two films, especially, constitute Hartley's apotheosis. We also discuss Jonathan Glazer's new film 'The Zone of Interest,' a haunting, important film (despite what Manohla Dargis might say).

It's a packed episode, Screamers. We look at both 'Lost in Translation' and 'Her' as a kind of double feature. And we interrogate the false construct of cross-influence between their creators. We get lost in the murk and digital noise of lo-fi horror hit (?) 'Skinamarink.' There's also a melancholy-tinged, but impassioned, discussion of De La Soul, the influential hip hop group, after the passing of Trugoy the Dove. Stick around for some movie recommendations.

Welcome to May Madness Part Two, Screamers. In this episode we're talking "Mikey (not Mickey) and Nicky" and the much derided, but not as bad as you remember, "Ishtar." We also talk about the films screened at the recently held Reel House Foundation Mini Movie Marathon Six. Other unanswerable questions: does altruism exist? what would a remake of "Mikey and Nicky" look like? who really should've starred in "Ishtar"? Thanks for listening and keep screaming.
