PATREON FAQ's/ START HERE (Patreon)

Welcome to the Popcorn In Bed Patreon page! Thank you SO SO much for the support and for being here. I hope the content and community are valuable to you and please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve!

Patreon Rules:

Most of these go without saying, but:

• 1. Be kind to each other. It's okay to have different opinions on movies/shows, and you're free to debate/argue/discuss your points all day long, but there is absolutely no harassing or name-calling other patrons. This obviously doesn't include friendly banter.

• 2. No Racism. This goes without saying, but anyone caught saying racist comments of any kind will be blocked and banned from Patreon. Please treat everyone else with respect.

• 3. No religious or political discussion. This is not a place to discuss politics or religion. This is a place to discuss movies and shows that you love (or don't love).

• 4. No Spoilers. Please make sure you're careful with possible spoilers! I like to go into movies/shows blind and spoilers ruin that experience! There are also many patrons that also watch along for the first time, so just be careful about what you say!

• 5. Have Fun! I want this to be a fun, enjoyable community for everyone. We have thousands of like-minded people here and I know we can have a great time discussing movies and shows together!

This post will serve as a guide on how to make the best use of the Patreon page as well as give answers to commonly asked questions.

Here are some helpful links:

• Reaction Library with links (Patreon’s search function is not great so this should make it easier, hopefully, we can add genres and the ability to sort so you can find exactly what you'd like to watch in the future)

• Popcorn Requests - This is a web app that was created by our very own @planner. Link your Patreon account and select the movies you'd like me to watch! There are tons of features and tools so check it out. It's currently in beta so please post any bugs in the Discord!

• Linktree (for all my links)

• Instagram @popcorninbed

• Letterboxd (List of mostly all the movies I have seen, including before the channel)

• DVD Collection (will update after each live)

• Merchandise (finally!!)

WHY ARE THE MOVIES BLURRED?

One of the biggest questions I get is about the movie being blurred during the full-length reactions. The reason the movie needs to be blurred is due to copyright issues. As much as I would like to, I can’t show the full movie, just the reaction. So like it says before you join, it is meant as a “watch along” and you will have to sync your own copy along with my reaction.  Luckily, we have a GREAT community here and they’ve provided a plethora of information, tips, and tricks on how to sync up your own copy of the movie while watching the reaction videos. Please check that thread out here.

I know some people don’t do the watch-alongs, but just to support and be a part of the community so we are working on getting you the YT edits early access here on Patreon as well.

HOW CAN I GIVE YOU MY MOVIE SUGGESTIONS??

I get lots of suggestions daily and I love it! There are so many ways to suggest movies/shows. Patreon comments and messages are probably the best way as you guys hold the most weight! I read all of the comments and messages (though it takes me a while to respond) so you can bet your suggestion will be seen here.

If you'd like an organized place to suggest a movie you can visit the www.popcornrequests.com website that was developed by our very own patron @planner.

Before you suggest a movie, I would double check my letterboxd here to see a mostly comprehensive list of everything I have seen before and since the channel!

CAN I SEND YOU A PACKAGE?

You, my friends, are the best, and I am so grateful for the packages you send me. The postal workers and I are very tight at this point and I seriously cannot believe the thoughtfulness and generosity of you sending me things.

The address is:

Popcorn in Bed

PO BOX 547

PROVO, UT 84603

I wanted to share a list of DVD’s I have been sent so you don’t send duplicates. Here is the list of all the DVD’s I own now.

I also have some people ask about shirt size, Carly and I are both a size medium :)

HOW CAN I JOIN DISCORD?

All patrons have access to our private Discord server, where you can chat movies, shows and anything else with other members of the community. All you have to do is connect your Discord account with Patreon, and it will automatically add you to the server. Patreon offers a great instruction guide on how to link your Discord account, which you can find here: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-How-do-I-connect-Discord-to-Patreon-Patron-.

HOW CAN I CHANGE MY MEMBERSHIP LEVEL?

To learn how to upgrade, downgrade tiers, cancel your membership etc. Check out this link. If you still have questions or concerns about your tier and its benefits, please direct message me on here and I can help!

HOW CAN I MAKE AN EXTRA DONATION?

Donations are appreciated but never expected. Please don't feel obligated to donate anything more than just being here. With that said, any extra support is so appreciated to help run the channel. The PayPal address for the channel is popcorninbed1@gmail.com.  I have to be clear that extra donations don't guarantee any special reactions at this time.

CAN I PAY YOU TO WATCH A MOVIE OF MY CHOICE?

When I first started the channel and this Patreon page, I had a tier that allowed a higher amount of donations and they could pick a movie of their choosing for me to react to once per month. There were only 6 spots, and it was so great to connect with these friends and the movies they loved. I watched some amazing movies that I never would have seen otherwise. I am no longer able to do this high tier as I had trouble keeping up with those reactions and the poll winners and the regular schedule as well.

Again, thank you SO MUCH for being here and helping support the channel. I love this community that we've built and I'm so happy you are a part of it.
