I'd love to have seen Brett's face after eating that shrimp! Or before! more pictures of Brett please

okay, i gotta geek for a minute here. on last week's spont, matt gourley uttered the phrase "i'm a sweaty toothed madman," clearly a reference to gordon college's improv comedy team, the sweaty toothed madmen. they were started by a fellow named joe buck, who also happened to start the improv team i was a part of at my college. here's where things get nutty, folks. the name of my college improv team was rice pilaf. what did sean say that he was eating on today's episode? RICE PILAF. your boy is riding high today. it's definitely not a shout-out, but i'm taking it to be a shout-out. first i get to do my famous borat character with the boys, now they mention my improv team by name on the show? i am eternally grateful for this.

The Doughboys finally both come to the studio to do another Shrimp-Off with The Boys without the chewing sounds.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Your synopsis gave me synesthesia dalty. I can taste it. Great work as always.

Damn, I thought it was the title to John Oliver's new kid show...

I loved this movie. Great choice!

Sorry, was out of the house for a while. I've been having a rough time recently with stress and my health, so I'm not picking anything amazing, but an old favorite of mine for comfort. I hope no one minds. Welcome to my childhood.

Ha! It’s nothing official. More that I get impatient to talk to you guys I have been doing well, though. Thank you. That’s exciting about your new job. Congratulations!

I have been well. I went from withdrawing from forums and the like because I was miserable at my job to not having any time to participate in forums because of starting a new, much more fulfilling job at the end of 2017. I hope you've been doing well and glad to see they've put you in charge of the Unspooled discussions.

Hello from Spain, this seems like a normal occurrence by now... I disappear into radio silence for long stretches of time then I return making it a BIG DEAL (or a "B.D. Wong deal" ;) ) saying how sorry I am and then out of the blue I disappear again then I rinse and repeat until infinity. The thing is I'm really really sorry. Anyhoo... I'm sorta In vacation until the end of the month so I have literally no excuse to Ghost out on you again... Also in two weeks I get to choose my 3rd pick which is nice! Can't wait to find out what JammerLea picked!!!

Much like Jason and June, I stopped paying attention for long stretches of this movie, so perhaps I missed something . . . but why were Pavarotti and Lady Doctor tasked with cooking dinner for some large and seemingly important gathering? This is a rich guy who has people he can easily order around to do stuff for him, right? If he had some special affinity for cooking, it sure didn't show in that scene.

What would be really interesting but painstakingly hard to put together is a series of sequels dedicated to maybe just the top 10 films of different countries based on that country's AFI equivalent or critics circle chosen greatest films. Not only do you cover the classics of various countries but it is an interesting look into what each country values in their films and what films other nations overlook.

Yeah, this has come up on the Facebook group. If they want to do world cinema, then maybe the Sight & Sound list would be a good thing to go through (leaving out those already covered by the AFI). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sight_%26_Sound_Top_50_Greatest_Films_of_All_Time

Completely agree with those thoughts and feelings. As far as world cinema goes save that for their follow up open ended series "Unspool the The World" If we all dream hard enough maybe we can make it happen.

Here's what I would like: once they're done with this list, I would like them to cover the movies that got booted off from the 98 list. Then, if they're up to it, I'd love for Amy and Paul to dive into World cinema. I'd love to hear their take on Bergman and Kurosawa et al. I know Unspooled was always meant to be a macroseries, but the fact that they are already 12% done makes me anxious Of course, I don't actually expect this will happen, but a boy can dream, can't he?

I wanted to share this incredible find that I came across on some sketchy Russian mp3 website when I was looking for REM demos. All it said was "Михаи́л Стипенд 1983" for the credit, which piqued my interest, since that's around the release of Murmur, one of my favorite REM albums. Unfortunately, my computer now seems to be infected with quite a few viruses, rendering it almost unusable, but in the end, it was all worth it. Much credit to user Jordo for posting the other version. If I hadn't had heard that, I would have never known what this song was supposed to be. I've uploaded the file to my Soundcloud below...enjoy!

I've (very cautiously) figured out how to make modifications to the CSS and templates, so today I've: Fixed the virtually invisible search box Fixed the dark gray-on-dark gray options in the user menu (top right corner) Added a link to Earwolf.com in the main navigation Let us know if there are any other outstanding issues.

Thank you Shannon, things look great now.
