FILM REVIEWS
UPDATED WEEKLY

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.

'Nosferatu,' 'Anora,' and Kelly Reichardt's 'First Cow'

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.

'Heretic,' Kelly Reichardt's 'Night Moves,' and 'Azrael'

On this episode...Brock's dog, Sam, doesn't enjoy hunting; things get political before turning to movies, which, well, things still stay kind of political. The films discussed are 'Heretic,' 'Azrael,' and Kelly Reichardt's 'Night Moves.' Tangential discussions of the Bob Dylan biopic and the Robbie Williams 'biopic' also occur.

On today's episode, a couple of new films that question the very nature of our existence: 'Humanist Vampire Seeks Consenting Suicidal Person,' and 'It's What's Inside.' We also continue on with our look at the films of Kelly Reichardt with 'Meek's Cutoff...' an adaptation of the video game 'The Oregon Trail'? Maybe?

'Joker: Folie à Deux,' and Kelly Reichardt's 'Wendy and Lucy'

We also have a sponsorship pitch for Chappell Roan.
