I actually really agree on the Steve Prokopy idea for that niche reason. I feel like there would be a lot of really interesting discussions about film that Adam/Sam/Matty just never really got into because they tended to stay away from Sci-Fi and Horror and stuff like that.

I'd vote for Michael Phillips.  I was a big fan during his run on At the Movies, and he had a great chemistry with Adam when he joined as a guest host.

There's really no bad choice here, and Alison Wilmore is also a great choice.  I'm hoping that she will have something new with Matt Singer, so then we'll get two excellent podcasts out of this deal.

I'm going with 'other'... although I'm still holding out (the ludicrously pathetic) hope that Matty spends a few months in Hollywood and decides the place and the people simply don't jibe with his Midwestern sensibilities and comes back to Chicago and Filmspotting (this is is of course assuming he's even leaving Chicago in the first place, but I imagine if he's going to really 'go for it' as he put it, Tinsel Town would seem a per-requisite).

In reality though, as long as it isn't Matt Singer, I suppose I can live with whomever Adam chooses. I'm sorry to be so frank, but while he might be a great guy, his voice seriously makes me want to poke my eardrums out with a No.2 pencil. Reminds me of Seth Green. On glue.

I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Does this happen to anyone else?  Besides my wife, I mean?

Only when you do your Roger Rabbit impression.  ;)

Seriously, I've never had any complaints - hoping to hear that voice of yours along with Alison's sometime soon!
