New York, February 27, 2025 – Realm, an audio-first digital media company with a global podcast network, has unveiled a fresh new look for the popular film podcast Unspooled, hosted by actor and comedian Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League) and film critic Amy Nicholson (Los Angeles Times). Unspooled joined Realm earlier this year, and today, its bright, vibrant art—capturing the fun dynamic between the hosts—debuts alongside its highly anticipated Oscar episode.
The special episode will dive into this year’s Academy Award nominees, snubs, surprises, and cinematic standouts. As Hollywood gears up for the culmination of award season, Scheer and Nicholson will bring their wit and expertise to the discussion, breaking down what makes an Oscar-worthy film and predicting who will take home the gold.
