*Do you get a lot of international submissions?
*How do you manage to give written feedback to all the submissions?

Scene Unseen Movie Reviews with Chris and Jimmy is an irreverent alternative to the typical movie review template. Chris actually sees the film and reviews its cinematic merits...while Jimmy does NOT see the film, basing his review on the poster, trailer, rumors, back story, and personal opinions. What ensues is a hilarious, sometimes explicit, rant on movies both past and present.
