Unspooled

Each week actor & comedian Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League) and film critic Amy Nicholson (LA Times Chief Film Critic ) watch and discuss the best movies out there. From the classics to new releases and every indie film in-between. Along the way, they’ll dissect iconic scenes, spotlight their favorite characters, and decide if these movies still stand the test of time.

It makes me uncomfortable to hear criticism of Amy’s voice. A voice is not something that can be changed. We rarely hear complaints on male voices. That said, she can really get into the weeds with many obscure takes. It gets tedious. Love Paul. His knowledge is clear and his takes seem more balanced to me.
Hmm…

Listening to the Home Alone episode, and it turns out that Amy is an Uncle Frank sympathizer. Disturbing, though it helps give context to the general attitude and demeanor of most of her commentary.
Dumbfoundingly dumb

Paul Scheer makes inane points - he clearly has no idea as to what the parameters are for critique - if you can’t separate your personal likes and dislikes from looking at the success or failure of an artistic endeavor you make a fool of yourself and he does - listen to the Carrie episode and you’ll see what I mean. He’s extremely ill suited to hosting a show like this.
They’re Both Great Hosts!

If you like or love movies this is a great podcast. I’m always learning something new from Amy and Paul.
