The Matrix

from Unspooled · host Paul Scheer & Amy Nicholson | Realm

Amy & Paul stop time for 1999's reality-bending blockbuster The Matrix! They marvel at the preternatural shared mind of directors Lana and Lilly Wachowski, explore the political and social after-effects of the 'Matrix' concept, and ask each other whether they would take the red pill or the blue pill. Plus: What if this movie had starred Janet Jackson and Will Smith?   Next week Unspooled wraps up the year with A Christmas Story!

ZOOM Focus Features ZOOM is a new podcast from Focus Features for movie lovers who want to know everything. Fueled by the inquisitive mind of film critic and host Amy Nicholson (“Unspooled,” "Halloween Unmasked"), each episode uses a modern-day movie as a launch pad to discover mind-bending facts about science, technology, and history. What kind of planet might E.T. come from? Do superstar horses “act”? Which Edwardian rules of etiquette could trip up Downton Abbey’s Lord Grantham? Featuring interviews with an eclectic mix of experts and filmmakers, ZOOM explores Hollywood's uncharted questions. ABC Movies abcmovies There's lots of movie podcasts where the hosts talk about bad movies. But how many talk about good movies (other than "Unspooled" which is also great!)? In Actually Best Choice Movies, longtime friends and total movie geeks Caleb Shively and Chris Chafin (contributor to Rolling Stone and New York Magazine's Vulture) talk about some movies that are actually worth seeing, in a way that's actually worth listening to. In this weekly show, the pair discuss/review/argue about two films: one new release and one other film that's related to it in a way that makes sense to them (and maybe to you). It's like Siskel & Ebert on Comedy Bang Bang, The Critic on Jordan, Jesse, Go!, or if the Doughboys watched movies instead of eating lethal amounts of fast food. Personal Mythmaking with Janelle Hardy (formerly the Wild Elixir Podcast) Janelle Hardy & the Art of Personal Mythmaking I asked my female and non-binary guests the same four questions, and together, we followed the intriguing threads of story and curiosity as they unspooled.1 - Where are you and whose traditional (Indigenous) territory are you on?2 - What's your favourite fairytale/ancient tale?3 - What's your relationship with your body like?4 - And what's your connection to your creativity?These potent conversations are created by mixing creativity + the body + fairy tales + conversation with wild abandon.
