I dont know how open Dan is to talking about it, but this might be the best "look back at the studio era of Screen Junkies" we ever get. Covid really did a number on that industry. All that talk of a new studio and whilst we might have seen it, you never saw anything NEW from it.

​@benzaiten933 After covid they basically only did Honest Trailers Commentaries for a few years. It was down to just Spencer, Lon and Danielle, and due to the strikes Danielle stopped being in them as well, until a few months ago when those just stopped happening too. Now they literally only do Honest Trailers weekly and some other things occasionally like By The Numbers, and nothing else. No on screen personalities at all. I think a large part of it was Roth, Dan, Joe and Billy leaving in relative quick succession. No offense to Spencer and Lon but they were always the more cynicle members, and it became a drag watching only them and you could feel the change in the Honest Trailers themselves too.

There are some channels that do something that vaguely looks like this, but they're not as good. Drinker's After Hours is just a bunch of middle-aged white guys complaining that movies have too many black people and girls in them, and the John Campea Show is dominated by John and only becomes interesting when he lets Robert Meyer Burnett talk, and the other guys on the show are dumb as rocks. There's no actual discussion.

​@@benzaiten933the best lineup(in my opinion) was Dan, Roth, Spencer and Joe. I feel like when Roth stopped coming on the show and Dan left, it felt like the two parents left and it was just the kids rambling without supervision. I have checked out ht commentaries a few times since but it doesn't seem to be any better. They just seem so aimless and cynical without Roth or Dan to ground them

So glad you have your own channel today, Dan, so we can still benefit from your insights.

How can someone even make a definitive MoviePass documentary without featuring Dan? Literally just splicing in chunks of a video made this way would add so much. It was indeed a crazy time. EDIT: Also, anyone reading this: AMC Stubs A-List is 1000% worth it, and is everything I think MoviePass wished it had been. I have a weirdly strong brand loyalty to A-List… I saw TENET 23 times in IMAX back in 2020 for basically $40 just because A-List is so fairly priced and easy. Recommended.

Only caught the tail end of the Movie Pass drama on SJU. Really miss the team over there. Real sad when they took down Honest Trailer Commentary as well. I know it wasn't nearly as popular as the main show, but you're right. There's just something about a bunch of movie fans just talking about movies that is really entertaining to some of us, and you just don't have a lot of that now.

I watched 27 movies in 7 months with Moviepass. I watched six movies in theaters in the previous year (2017) and zero in 2016. Moviepass got me obsessed with watching movies in theaters, and in particular learning to appreciate watching smaller dramas in theaters and not just big spectacles. I watched 30 movies in theaters in the past year, mostly through AMC A-list.

Great deep dive into this story. Movie Pass holds a special place in my heart. I met my wife in the Fall of 2017, and as a young broke couple, MoviePass gave us cheap dates on the daily, and after movies, we would sit in the theater and just talk about the movie, which led to discussions about life. We saw 64 movies in theaters during 2017-2018 and out of this environment, we fell in love, and got married in 2018. Today, I love my life, my marriage, my wife, and our 3 children. MoviePass dates were somewhat foundational for us. Thanks Mitch Lowe!

It came at a time in my personal life when everything around me was feeling just as surreal and unbelievable, and y’all’s reaction to the shared insanity gave me a lot of comfort and laughs. Long live Chloe, Director of Barketing, and may she enjoy a tail wagging retirement at a company or home that truly appreciates her skills.

They thought we were doing something wrong, we would let some of them in for free hecause we felt bad. So I guess in a small way moviepass' strongarm tactic did work...

Hey Dan! I'm an avid watcher of the channel, I'm not from the USA. I used to watch Fandom and SJU before it because I like movies and loved the discussions and games you all did about Hollywood. The moviepass saga is what made me a fan of your work. Your analytical approach and ability to communicate your theories about how a movie over/under performed it's budget and narrative behind it is what appealed to me. So while I wasn't a user of moviepass and didn't benefit from their ridiculous prices, I did discover you! Love what you do! Your passion for the industry is clear in the content you make. Hope you continue what you're doing and are able to add more segments that you've thought of but couldn't because of presently limited resources!

the movie pass saga is the gift that keeps on giving. I was an avid watcher of SJ/SJU and remember the reporting when MP first launched and I saw the interview with Mitch and all the subsequent reporting. The biggest contribution MP made was the years of entertainment value in witnessing this saga. I have no idea what is going on with SJ/Fandom these days. The only thing left seems to be Honest Trailers. We're not even getting the commentaries anymore, which was my favorite part of HT. Is Roth still interested in film? I liked the dynamic you two had when doing reviews. Would be neat if you did the occasional partnering with Roth or Lons or someone else to have a good discussion on a film.

I really appreciate your personal perspective on Movie Pass, because it really WAS such a personal event. I have my own anecdotes with friends - debating with one friend if it was a scam, seeing one friend's app crash while mine worked, reacting to Chloe from Barketing as it happened....! And it was really great to see the old SJU clips. Another blip of Movie Pass was how there was a time when they were trying to get so many people to sign up because they wanted to collect data and then sell it to movie theaters or movie production companies (whoever would buy), but no one would buy unless they had enough people - but then no one would buy because those theaters and production companies already have that data. Movie Pass was always DOA, but it was a glorious time for the consumer.

This was such a great retrospective. I used to watch SJU every day and it was always a good day when there was a MoviePass story. I also was a MoviePass subscriber for almost a year I think. I got it fairly early on and used it to watch so many movies. I suffered through the ticket verification process, which was always a mess and I always had to submit the picture at least twice. After like a month of that it just stopped working entirely and the only movies it would show me were movies I had zero interest in so I canceled it pretty quickly after that. Chloe from Barketing will always be iconic and you're right that nothing will ever match the pure insanity of living through all of that.

This was amazing to revisit. I remember having my movie pass and tuning in daily to those shows, hearing the discourse, but having that communal experience around movies again. Those were good days.

Thanks for doing this Dan. Brought back some good memories of you and the Screen Junkies crew, plus the wild day to day Moviepass saga. I appreciate your perspective and how you touched on aspects the documentary left out.

This was a nice video Dan, It really took me back, wow. Such a good companion piece to the Doc. You're absolutely right, unfortunately there is no more panel with groups of people talking movies and movies news like Screen Junkies or Collider anymore and I miss that, the sense of community.

Great video! As someone that watched the whole thing unfold live through your videos, this made me miss the daily Screen Junkies news show a lot. You guys had a great on camera chemistry 🤘🏻

This is awesome. I was LITTERALY talking with a co-worker about movie-pass last Tue. And explaining how everything i knew came via Dans reporting on SJU. The conversation started because of the dog, head of barketting. Next time we have lunch, i am making her watch this.

I worked at an AMC at the time when movie pass was a thing and I remember one time when I was working the box office I got into a heated discussion with a customer over the fact that Amc didn’t accept movie pass. After about three or four minutes and even having one of my managers, come down and talk to the person, the customer ended up just buying a ticket to the movie anyway.

AMC was on the wrong on that. It was mastercard, shut up and take the money

My wife and I were scrolling through Max yesterday and when I saw the thumbnail I became the Leo meme telling my wife to go back and click on the trailer! She didn’t remember much of anything about the movie pass drama but my first thought was Dan! I look forward to watching it with her and then immediately following it with this video. Also, I miss the old screen junkies days too. It was like getting to talk movies and TV with friends that had the same interests as me.

What a throwback. You're right, there really is a lack of community feel within the industry that we had with SJU and others before covid. Really makes me miss that era, this was the perfect closing chapter on all the craziness

Seems like movie theatres in America are way more complicated than the ones in my country. I think if I go to America someday, I gotta try this AMC Theatre and MoviePass thing 😂😂😂

We Americans are so lazy that we need a scam to get us out of the house and watch a movie.
