Announcing F This Movie Fest 2021
by Patrick Bromley
Celebrating our 10th year of F This Movie Fest!
It's time again for the world's only all-Twitter film festival! What started in 2012 as a way to celebrate our 100th podcast and join us all together for one day has grown into its own annual holiday, and we couldn't be happier to see things grow and take on a life of their own.
This year, we celebrate the amazing movies of 1988, and we're sticking with SIX movies instead of five (a tradition we started two years back). That's right -- more to love! Please take note of the earlier start time, those of you who may have gotten used to FTMF kicking off at Noon CST.
If you're new to the site, here's the deal:
1. Secure copies of all six movies, either physically or on streaming.
2. If you're not already doing so, follow F This Movie! on Twitter.
3. Beginning at 10 am CST on Saturday, March 6th, we all start watching the first movie at the same time from the comfort of YOUR OWN HOME and talk about it on Twitter (just tag all of your comments with #fthismoviefest and then follow that hashtag. It's like what Joe Bob does on Shudder, only we were doing it years earlier.) It will be like a running commentary. A conversation. Just like WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER!
4. If you have to leave for a movie or can only participate in half the festival or whatever, that's cool! Just check in or out with us on Twitter so we know who's there and when. Hopefully, we can all do the full marathon, but we know that's not easy for everyone.
5. Because of the COVID pandemic, our post-fest podcast plans are up in the air. We have traditionally broadcast a live episode; if that's possible for us to do this year, we'll make it happen. Stay tuned to the @fthismovie Twitter for updates.
