quote:F This Movie! is a weekly movie podcast and near-daily movie blog that began in 2010 when it became clear that there wasn't enough talk about movies on the internet. That's pretty much the long and short of it. Patrick Bromley--random jerk, movie lover, and member of the Chicago Film Critic's Association--hosts a regular podcast where he discusses a wide range of movies, from crime noir to modern superhero blockbusters to classic sci-fi to indie darlings, but especially monster movies and horror films. He is joined by a rotating cast of friends and fellow film-lovers, each of them with more-or-less a specialization in the types of films they enjoy. The site also features regular old text reviews by the FTM crew, and a couple of random odd videos that I haven't bothered to watch because I can't stand their ugly, greasy faces. maybe I'll do bios laterif I feel like it
For interested newcomers, the best way to start listening is to find a movie you like/dislike in the "Movies A-Z" tab and listen to the podcast or read the review. If you're a completionist like me, you can start from the very beginning and listen to all of the podcasts (well I skipped a few but w/e). I'm tempted to advise you avoid the 2010 and early 2011 podcasts, since they've grown a lot since then, but they might be worth a listen after you've familiarized yourself with the show. They have a somewhat loose policy on spoilers, so you probably want to hold off on listening to a podcast about a specific movie unless you have a) already seen the movie b) no interest in seeing the movie. Usually their podcasts that don't focus on one specific movie are spoiler-free. Important Note: As Heteroy mentions below, the title may be misleading. This is not a bad movie podcast, nor do they poo poo on popular films (not all the time anyway). kalel fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Jan 8, 2016 |

I've been listening to the podcast for a few years. The name of the podcast is probably misleading at a glance. I think it was said in an episode that it chosen for the website on a whim, and it's a bit late in the game to change names now. This is not a "bad movie" podcast a la WHM or The Flophouse. The show usually follows the format of spending about the first third talking about what they've seen lately and the rest is spent talking about the topic, ordinarily a specific movie. (sometimes something recent, but often from the 80's or 90's)

One of the things I love about Fthismovie is how kind and welcoming of a community it is. It's really refreshing to have a podcast that subscribes to the belief that opinions are subjective and you're not wrong or stupid for liking or disliking a certain movie.
