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.

    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.     Keep in touch and read more at whydoesthewilhelmscream.com on instagram and threads @whydoesthewilhelmpod  Find out more about upcoming Fort Worth Film Club screenings and events at fortworthfilmclub.com and @fortworthfilm Support the next generation of film lovers at reelhousefoundation.org and on facebook reelhousefoundation Artwork by @_mosla_
