Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?

We're back with part two! And we have given each other the gift of fine cinema. Jason has gifted the films 'The Butcher Boy' and 'The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra' to Brock. Brock has given Jason the films 'A Woman Kills,' and 'Morvern Callar.' Fa la la la and a partridge in a pear tree. We also discuss Kristofer Borgli's new film 'Dream Scenario.' Merry Happy Christmidays, Screamers.

On this episode we start our discussion on the under-seen, under-recognized, under-sung, under-appreciated independent filmmaker, Hal Hartley. We’re looking at Hartley’s first two films “The Unbelievable Truth,” and “Trust.” We also talk about David Fincher’s new Netflix job “The Killer.” Hang around for some recommendations and brief chat about Whilt Stedman, or Wyatt Steelman…

Trigger warning! On this episode: we don't like 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' and we tell you why. We also discuss Justine Triet's new film, the courtroom drama 'Anatomy of a Fall' and the Brazilian film 'Dry Ground Burning.' This episode is full of unpopular opinions--we have them so that you don't have to.

This episode kicks ass. Today we discuss the latest Fort Worth Film Club screening, 'You Won't Be Alone.' along with Goran Stolevski's follow-up film, 'Of an Age.' We also take a look at 'Passages' the new Ira Sachs' film starring Franz Rogowski, Ben Wishaw, and Adele Exarchopolous. Among other things, Jason expresses his affinity for novelty rap made for movies and performed by Oscar winners. This episode is worth every penny.

Next time we're digging into 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'Anatomy of a Fall,' and 'Dry Ground Burning.'

It's a sad day around the Wilhelm headquarters as we finish up our dive into the films of John Cassavetes. We wrap up with a look at "Gloria," and "Love Streams." Cassavetes was interested in exploring love, and the complicated, weird things we are as humans--and we love all of you for joining us on this journey. There's other stuff in this episode, too, but, really, it's all about Cassavetes. Remember: "Love is a stream, it's continuous, it doesn't stop."

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.
