“I love Paul, but Amy just isn't for me. The Cadence of her voice, her political perspective. I come to podcasts to escape for a bit, and she makes it impossible.”Read full review »

“I’ve been here since the beginning AFI ranking and the reason I return is their back and forth. Sure, you might not agree with Paul and Amy’s take each time but I know I’ll watch the given movie differently next time and have a more thoughtful perspective as a result of listening to their...”Read full review »

“I’ve tried many times to listen to the podcast and each time come away baffled at Amy’s “hot takes”. She has a political axe to grind and that dictates her reviews. She also seems intolerant of Paul’s opinions.”

“That’s it. I was screaming in my car listening to this episode. Next time actually stop and watch the movie instead of planning your criticisms during it.”

“The dune 2 episode was super weird. Paul was doing…something. I mean, Amy literally laughed out loud a few times and asked what movie did you watch??? Like objectively. It was stuff that was right there on the screen. Love Paul but that was so so weird.”

“I listened to “Point Break” and then “Carrie”. I like Amy very much but I just can’t stomach Paul. The platitudes are too much for me and he just comes off as adding garnish rather than substance. Had to unfollow bc of this.”

“I came here after catching up on what went wrong podcast. I thought I’d find another one that discussed movie productions and the difficulties behind the scenes. Paul can be a little over the top at times but I truly appreciate his passion for filmmaking. I’m sorry but I can’t listen to Amy...”Read full review »

“First episode and last episode I listen to was the goonies and hearing Amy talk about the goonies and not understand it and make dumb comments. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I would never listen to another episode. Not good move on podcast.”

“I like unspooled even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of Paul scheer when he joined. The problem with the podcast though is that they are kind of both these contrarians in different directions and so often it doesn’t feel like they get into what’s actually good or flawed about a lot of the movies...”Read full review »

“Paul Scheer brings a great love of cinema and films with his witty and fun perspective. I enjoy what he brings.
But Amy Nicholson is a massive dead weight to what could be an incredible podcast under any other circumstance. I’m not sure she likes movies actually. She doesn’t offer very much in...”Read full review »

“I have been looking for a new movie podcast and binged four episodes today. Both hosts have interesting ideas, but I’ve been particularly impressed by the female host’s observations. The only critique I have is they sometimes talk over and interrupt one another, but that’s tolerable. I’m looking...”Read full review »

“I get excited every time a new episode comes out.

For sure check out an episode, you love it. But most importantly; where is the...”Read full review »

“When the whole show was based around reviewing and critiquing the AFI Top 100 Greatest Films, Unspooled had its strongest voice. I was optimistic with the change in premise to, “Let’s not just criticize, let’s workshop our own list”. But ultimately, that’s fallen short. It feels like they’re...”Read full review »

“Thank you for your insightful review of Jesus Christ Superstar! I saw this movie when I was 7 years old. Maybe I was a bit young to see it, but JCS made a huge impact on me! I memorized every word to every song of this brilliant rock opera!
Love you Amy and Paul! Keep up the great work!”

“I love movies, movie podcasts, Paul and HDTGM, and I have tried to love this but it’s just not consistent.
I cringe frequently when Amy speaks because she inevitably has a personal issue with a filmmaker that often has very little to do with the film itself. Or it dredges up some memory for her...”Read full review »

“and usually enjoy these reviews which make me want to rewatch the classics. The latest episode on Amadeus though, was ridiculous. They mispronounced Mozart the entire time! HOW HOW HOW. Was so distracting I had to turn it off. You can’t just mispronounce the name of the most famous composer ever.”

“fantastic in-depth adult discussion of film. Really enjoy the hosts different backgrounds. They both seem like people I would love to hang out and watch movies with just to have the discussion afterwards. Some of the hot takes can seem clunky but I know they are coming from a good place”

“Both of them are way too woke to analyze movies in a non-biased way. I love the selections, but if there’s anything even remotely demeaning to women in a movie, or women don’t get enough lines, or WHATEVER they feel somehow cheats women, it’s going to get discussed throughout the review. If Amy...”Read full review »

I appreciate how the podcast has evolved over time; the original premise...”Read full review »
