For those who are new around here...
What is the Member of the Month program?
- This is a monthly draw (first Friday of every month) of all qualifying members and the winner gets to pick a specific movie for me to watch or they may choose multiple movies to be put into a poll
- The full-length watchalong reaction and review to the movie will be uploaded to Patreon before the end of the month. It may also get edited to go on the YouTube channel at some point in the future but this is left to my discretion
- MotM is my compromise to having a specific tier where people can pay to request reactions, which has been asked for in the past, but the idea of it makes me feel uncomfortable
How do I qualify to participate in the Member of the Month draw?
- You must be an Active and Paid patron with no declined payments outstanding by the time the draw is done (first Friday of the month)
- You must have at least 6 (six) months of pledge history here (total, not consecutive) OR you pledged up front with an annual membership
What happens if I win?
- You must reply to me within 72 hours with the movie of your choice, or send a decline if you don't want to participate. If you decline or I don't hear back, I will spin the wheel again and pick a new winner
- If I elect to put the reaction on the channel, let me know if it's okay to use your name / credit you, or if you'd prefer to remain anonymous
- Winners are excluded from the next 11 months of draws to make MotM even more fair and to ensure that every month in a year will have 12 different winners
What are the film conditions for Member of the Month?
- It must be a film that I haven't seen before. Please check my Letterboxd watched list to confirm your movie choice is not there. Do not message me asking if I've seen your movie choice
- The film must be available for me online in Canada, either to purchase, rent, or to stream
- No anime films
- No foreign films. This may change in the future, though!
As long as the film meets the above conditions, it can be given. So feel free to throw out a movie from any decade, any genre, a super popular film, or something obscure. Pick a movie that didn't win a past poll. Pick the worst movie you've ever seen. It's up to you!

these no longer load for me in a high enough definition to torture myself by counting how close I was to winning

2023-10-15 02:05:08 +0000 UTCI appreciate that! I did think about that before doing this, but to be honest I really like this benefit that I've set up and it brings me joy to see what the winners will want me to watch. Plus I need to be motivated and excited once this low point is all over.

2023-10-09 00:22:02 +0000 UTCCongrats to Jemrink! 🎉 Sending good vibes, KL. Also: please consider that continuing to spin for MotM when you've already got a backlog that you're not in the right emotional space to whittle down just means you're needlessly putting more and more pressure on yourself month after month. Were it me, I'd consider putting additional MotM spins on hold until things ease up a bit. Just my (unsolicited) ¢2. 🤷 Fingers crossed things turn around for you after a very rough last few weeks. 😢
