Unspooled

I’ve listened to this from the beginning and aside from Amy’s irritating mispronunciations, I like it. But when I take a break from it, it’s always because I’m tired of Paul’s lecturing. There are times when I get to uncomfortable listening to Paul hector Amy about his POV. I don’t always agree with Amy (though she is right about Spielberg’s War of the Worlds) but she at least listens (perhaps too much) to Paul.

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.

Started listening to this podcast because of Paul but I can’t stand Amy. Comes off incredibly pretentious. If it was just her, no one would listen to this podcast.

Paul Scheer’s ridiculous comments are beyond frustrating - all he does is argue for HIS version of films as opposed to critiquing them as they are - you’re supposed to be talking about whether a film is successful or not on its own terms - listen to the Carrie episode and you’ll see what I mean. He doesn’t seem to understand that no one cares whether he, personally, likes it or not. She’s annoying but he wrecks the show.
