Why Does the Wilhelm Scream‪?‬ Brock Kingsley & Jason Wiseman

We're back with another episode full of insight. This time we talk 'Love Lies Bleeding,' and 'Drive Away Dolls'--two lesbian love stories with one way better than the other. We also dive further into Ralph Bakshi's animated worldview with the films 'Coonskin,' and 'Wizards.'

This one's a doozy. Two new-ish films: 'The Iron Claw,' and 'The Book of Clarence.' Plus we wrap up our look at the films of Hal Hartley with three of his shorter films and the Sarah Polley vehicle 'No Such Thing.' Lots of side tangents in this one, screamers.

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 the first annual Screamies show! On this episode we're doling out Screamies for categories like: best performance in a film we didn't like; most underrated film, and more. With the Screamies, we invite you to "check your scream-lege."
 
Plus, we discuss the new film 'American Fiction' through the lens of the films 'Hollywood Shuffle,' and 'Bamboozled.'
