I don't remember anyone talking about this movie when it came out, and we just happened to watch it a few years ago, but I've watched it several times since. Absolutely outrageous performances from Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne (one of my all time favorites.) I get the sense a lot of it was improvised and they trimmed it down to the absolute funniest bits. It just fires on all cylinders the whole time.

just binged it in two days and loved it. i’ve never actually seen the original with Brangelina so i can’t say how this compares, but this was smart, fun, sexy, and surreal. i need more! my only criticism is they kept making dumb mistakes that made me yell at the tv…for spies they should have known better!!

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
