Biography:

Adam Schoales is a Producer and Editor, who has previously worked with the Toronto International Film Festival. He currently co-hosts and produces “The Springfield Googolplex”, the movie podcast for fans of “The Simpsons” where he looks back on films he and his co-host were first introduced to via The Simpsons. He has a remarkable recall of Simpsons quotations (which are mostly lost on his family) as well as a truly encyclopedic knowledge of useless movie trivia (which he’s glad to finally have an outlet for). He lives in Markham, Ontario.

Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% EDIT “For fans of the theatre, this is an absolute must-see and without question, the best musical you will see this year at the cinema. Unfortunately, as strong as Friedman’s stage direction is, her skills as a filmmaker are less assured.” – That Shelf Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Night Always Comes (2025) 52% EDIT “Sadly, despite its stylish exterior Night Always Comes never quite rises to the level it strives for.” – That Shelf Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Vice Is Broke (2024) 60% EDIT “[Vice Is Broke] is by no means the most insightful documentary you’ll see this year, but admittedly, it sure is a lot of fun.” – That Shelf Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Pavements (2024) 95% EDIT “In many ways, Pavements defies categorization, but that’s what makes it so special and unique. It is undoubtedly unlike anything you’ll see this year, and probably unlike anything you’ll ever see again.” – That Shelf Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Echo Valley (2025) 52% EDIT “Echo Valley features fantastic performances, haunting visuals, and an escalating series of twists and turns leading to a thrilling (albeit preposterous) conclusion, but it is ultimately let down by a plot that tries to do too much.” – That Shelf Jul 3, 2025 Full Review I Don't Understand You (2024) 52% EDIT “I Don't Understand You is a silly farce about two hapless Americans being undone by a language barrier in a foreign country. But its heart, emotionality, and comedic chemistry elevate it to one of the year's best films. ” – That Shelf Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “Unfortunetly, Havoc never manages to rise to the towering heights of [Gareth Evans's] The Raid: Redemption, and despite the brutality of its action sequences, [the film] feels like a cacophonous mess. ” – That Shelf May 19, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% EDIT “Snow White is at its best when it’s attempting to put a new spin on the fairy tale, and at its worst when it’s attempting to pay homage and tribute to 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” – That Shelf Apr 26, 2025 Full Review Sacramento (2024) 85% EDIT “Sacramento is a quirky indie comedy about fatherhood and friendship that is unfortunately let down by its weaker emotional beats.” – That Shelf Apr 26, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% EDIT “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a film full of joy, laughs, and, perhaps surprisingly, some tears. A heartfelt entry in a series of the ongoing trials and tribulations of Britain’s favourite diarist. ” – That Shelf Feb 17, 2025 Full Review Elton John: Never Too Late (2024) 76% EDIT “In the end, Elton John: Never Too Late is a joyous celebration of one of the most electrifying and talented rock stars of our time. ” – That Shelf Dec 27, 2024 Full Review
