Spool & Tell

It’s just like “show and tell,” except it’s about movies, and we don’t actually show them, and you’re not in a classroom, so it’s nothing like “show and tell.” It’s a reverse-engineering of the movie review podcast genre that strips it down to its basics. Unlike most other movie podcasts, which pick a topic and commit to a set of films to watch regardless of whether or not they’re interesting to talk about, movie nerds JD and Nic choose movies to watch based on the fascinating conversations they generate. In each episode, one of the hosts (or a special guest) chooses a movie that demands discussion, for better or worse, and the other host is forced to watch it. With selection of films that only a pair of total geeks could put together, from obscure personal favorites to iconic cultural juggernauts, JD and Nic hope to use this silly podcast about dorky movies to better understand the cultures of the world and each other.
