Member of the Month ✦ January 2024 (Patreon)

Aaaaand it's the start of another year of Member of the Month draws! I am so excited to see what kinds of movies y'all make me watch this year. 👏 With the changes I've made to qualifying, we do have a large increase of names on the wheel now. Hi to everyone who is on it! 👋

Congrats to the first winner of the year: Methampheminist! They are someone who has been here for nearly two years now, wow! Thank you so much. You'll already have a DM from me here on Patreon - please check that out!

The HUGE newsletter that I feel like I've been writing for forever will be going out a bit later today. 😊

Thanks so much for being here! Y'all are so awesome!

Cheers,

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) and your lifetime total pledge amount is at least $24 CAD (equivalent to 6 months at the Watchers tier and fewer months with the higher tiers). Annual pledgers at any tier along with members pledged at my top two tiers qualify immediately.

What happens if I win?

• You must reply to me within 72-96 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!
