And I'm not one of them. Red Letter Media is boring and joyless. Thank you. And the death of film criticism, because every nerd online points to them now like the second coming of Cahiers du Cinema. It's a lot.

Update just dropped. Apparently this is being done through Backerkit, so we're waiting for an additional e-mail to be sent out to all backers over the next 24 hours which will contain links to add the passes to your digital rewards, just like how the classic episode rewards were handled. EDIT: Got an email from Backerkit 20 min later with the link to activate pass Yeah, I activated mine as well. Looks good from here.

thing with RLM is they are actually competent when it comes to their vids and the bar on Youtube is pretty low. Because I watch their stuff I get sent down a rabbit hole of other reviewers and their videos and personalities are all horrible or boring.
Coincidentally, on their latest Best of the Worst they blindpicked (supposedly) The Incredible Melting Man and it was fun to get another take on it.

A streaming service that restricts you to six episodes a month Yeah, I'm not getting that. Can't tons of classic eps be seen right now all over the place including Shout TV and channels like Pluto TV? Or YouTube... God I hope they don't start purging eps from YouTube. That'd be a ton of work thrown down the toilet on my end for those Broadcast Editions.

If the KS was any indication, 1k seems like pocket change for some people.

I noticed and knew it was a 'joke' because they're in their silly closed public beta thing. If they changed it to 1K, it's actually less funny cuz someone might actually pay that.

I doubt they would pull episodes from anywhere else, unless they go full on Mad Evil. Having episodes everywhere acts as a good promo for them.
I see the six episodes a month as a focus. A Turkey Day a month, if you will. Rather than dump everything at once, we can collectively watch and discuss the six chosen episodes that month, plus the new episode and live special of the month.
I could see this going for a long time, like RiffTrax. It's set up to engage interactivity. One aspect I really like are the watch-alongs, because it makes the new cast (and Joel) watch the old episodes, and that can only help things going forward. Rediscover the roots, and see what worked!

I find their personalities and their approach to criticism pretty dismal and narrow-minded, but that's JMO. For me most YT critics are all the same, and unfortunately they almost all chase the same trends. Anyway, that's way off the topic.

I still need to activate it and test the casting capabilities so I can watch on a TV.

Maybe someone should start a Gizmoplex topic. This thread is getting bloated.

Seems like a really poor way of having a streaming service let me tell you I don't really see it as a streaming service. It's more of a delivery system for new episodes, with some bonuses tossed in. After all, I subscribed for the new content, not the stuff I already have.

All signed in, redeemed, app downloaded, etc. Successfully chromecasted to the TV, so that checks out.
Well, I guess starting Friday we're going to have to retire this thread and open an episode-specific review thread for every release and, I guess, an overall thread for the season/year of G'Plex events and extras.

I'm not a RLM fan...... but it's a big leap above most youtube channels covering what they cover.. I like how they splice in other media on top of the core conversation footage.. definitely taking some pointers from them for my channel.
