Introducing Tom’s Film Club (Patreon)

Hey everyone, this month I’m launching an exciting new series exclusively for patrons: Tom’s Film Club. In short, it’s a monthly movie discussion in which all of you get to participate!

How does it work?

At the start of each month, I’ll announce a movie that I will be (re-)watching and give you a brief introduction and maybe some initial questions and thoughts. If you’d like to participate in the discussion, you can then go and (re-)watch the movie for yourself, and post comments, thoughts, or questions about it either in the designated comment section, or in the Discord channel. At the end of the month, I will then make a video discussion in which I share my expanded take, summarize all of your input, and respond to your questions.

Why?

So this project will replace the Cinelogs series, which was fun for a while, but I also felt like it was just me talking to an audience again while only receiving responses afterwards, and I wanted to do something different, flip that dynamic around a bit, and have a more direct engagement with all of you who are so generously supporting my work.

Practical notes:

• I will make a separate post announcing this month’s movie. But after that, each new movie will be announced in the video discussion of the preceding month (so when April comes around, I’ll post a video discussing the movie we watched in March while also announcing the one we will be watching in April.)

• Tom’s Film Club is available for everyone at the “Get involved!” tier – which will soon be renamed to “Film Club”.

• The video discussions can be watched either here on Patreon or on Nebula.

If you have any thoughts or questions, please let me know!
