This week Paul and Amy are catching the rhythm as they break down Carl Reiner's slapstick comedy The Jerk, starring Steve Martin. Paul and Amy praise Steve Martin and his style of comedy for always punching up, his physical commitment, and how he looks out for others through his comedies. They discuss Martin's favorite joke in the film, the special trailer sent to theater managers, and how Carl Reiner showed us Steve's heart. Plus, we can thank The Jerk for pizza in a cup. You can rent The Jerk on your platform of choice, but don't forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy! You can join the Unspooled conversation on Paul’s Discord at <a href="https://discord.gg/ZwtygZGTa6" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/ZwtygZGTa6</a>Follow Paul and Amy on Letterboxd for more of their movie hot takes! <a href="https://letterboxd.com/paulscheer/" target="_blank">https://letterboxd.com/paulscheer/</a>  <a href="https://letterboxd.com/theamynicholson/" target="_blank">https://letterboxd.com/theamynicholson/</a>Paul’s book Joyful Recollections of Trauma is out now!
