Hey Unspoolers!
This is Ben from Chicago, avid listener and amateur film critic and podcaster myself. I love unspooled and am watching along each week. I just had a a question/statement regarding the Shawshank Redemption episode - I think one of the reasons this movie is also very well respected but also should be a mark against it being a number one film, is because it's a retelling of the classic Dumas novel the Count of Monte Cristo. The film even mentions this within a library scene where an inmate refers to the author as "dumbass" and Andy saying the inmate would like that book because it's about a prison break. Is this something you noticed as well?
