“The Screamy is given in recognition of achievements (or lack thereof) in direction, performance, and “should have’s” that represents Wilhelm’s iconoclasm and overall opinionated views during “the previous year.”

Tonight, we invite you to Scream, sit back, and enjoy.

On today's show we look at the Oscar contenders "Emilia Perez," and "Conclave." We also finish our look at the filmography of Kelly Reichardt with a beautiful and funny take on the creative process (and more) in "Showing Up." Brock loses his Silly Putty, so stay tuned to future episodes to see if he finds it.

We're back, Screamers, with another banger of an episode. A couple new films with Robert Eggers' take on Nosferatu, and Sean Baker's retconning of Pretty Woman with 'Anora.' We also dip back into Kelly Reichardt's filmography with 'First Cow' a platonic love story/anti-manifest destiny/capitalist allegory.

This episode is a doozy. It's our Christmas gift exchange episode! Jason gifted three movies to Brock: The Apple, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and Three O'Clock High; and Brock gifted Jason three movies: Viva La Muerte, Space Raiders, and About Endlessness. Six films that you never expected to be grouped together. Happy Christmas, Screamers.
