Hey everyone,

So we've been looking at restructuring how we run our movie poll voting system to allow for more variety and rotation of genre on the channel in a way that will hopefully satisfy most community members.

After some thought and discussion, this is what we have designed and we want to hear your thoughts!

We would have polls based on a category of genre's that we break down (for simplicity) and most weeks rotate the polls based on each genre. So what this COULD roughly look like:

Week 1: Action/Adventure

Week 2: Comedy

Week 3: Thriller/Suspense

Week 4: Drama/War

Week 5: Animated/Anime

Occasionally: Movie Series (movie poll that consists of movies that are more than 1 in the series)

Here's some extra considerations:

  • Sometimes if the movie poll is really close we could run a certain genre 2 weeks in a row

  • We may have a 'Quarter Quell' type poll every 6th week or so where the 2nd place of the last 5 polls get to hash it out for a 2nd chance in a bonus round

  • Spartan & Pudgey will occasionally pick a movie they want to watch (that is also in demand by the community) or run a poll of their top picks (on random occasion)

  • Please don't stress if you think a particular movie doesn't fall under that particular genre in the poll; it is merely a strategy to ensure a wider variety and it is not meant to be 'perfect'

  • We have not included some genre's like exclusive 'horror' and 'rom com's' because we dont feel it fits our interests and brand, however there will likely be occasional exceptions that fall within the relevant categories

Let us know what you think by voting in this poll and commenting. This new structure (once finalised) will likely commence once we finish The Boys Season 4 in a few weeks and return to (mostly) weekly movie reactions

I think this is a good structure once you’ve seen a lot of the basics/classics but since there is so much you guys haven’t seen it will take forever to cover a lot of them if you’re restricted to a structure like this…

I believe the plan is to have a bit more narrow and limited polls but within broad genre categories, so really, the classics should be going up against less competition than they have been. That along with the quarter quells should mean they have an easier time winning than they have been, but only time will tell. They are open to adjusting things as necessary over time if changes need to be made, as seen here.

I love the quarter quell idea! A bonus round with only the crème from the last few weeks
