I don't get why everyone is bitching so hard about this. Everything will appear on the website for free right? This is just a sneak peek for those who wish to donate some money.

My first thought would be you fund-raising to hire a hit man for Adam Sandler but that makes sense as well. Do those who donate get to make suggestions on reviews or content?

For some reason clicking on the arrow next to Jake takes you to a website dedicated to xbox games' previews.

I do wonder how we will get the sneak previews though? Never support anything through Patreon before. Do I have to watch that site for updates, or will I see here if there is a new video?

The patreon episodes are exclusive for a week, and then they'll be available on the site. The dvd episodes are never going to be on the site. So, yeah, eventually they'll be free to see. As far as "extended material" goes, that adds up to some blooper reels on certain shows, or maybe a recipe clip on Flaming Brian.

Like I said, the quality of his videos works for the internet, but you can rent a Sony FS100U for less than 200 bucks a week, so if he takes some of the Patreon money for that and shoots the DVD content in that time-frame, it should be a solid gain in quality for little cash.

I believe mine was Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws after I had seen the Nostalgia Critic review of Jaws 3-D. Rather strange since Brad's referred to as the Snob in that crossover, but he's clearly not portraying the Cinema Snob, just a scripted version of himself, more or less.

The first one of Brad's videos I ever saw was the Midnight Screenings of World War Z. It was right when I had switched jobs and moved to a new city because of a break up and other changes. I was utterly broke and wanted to find out what World War Z the movie was like because I couldn't afford to go see it myself. I saw the link on TGWTG and clicked.... 12/16/2014 01:51:53 pm
The first video of Brad's I ever watched was a vlog review he did for The Boondock Saints II, with the first Snob episode I'd ever watched being Dolemite. I've been a regular viewer ever since, with his stuff being my favorite out of everyone on Channel Awesome.

While there's a comment section inexplicably full of suggestions for future products, here's mine: I think Jake should have his own show, written by him, where he reviews children's movies. The dude is seriously funny; he could easily carry a review show by himself.. Nobody here or on Channel Awesome only reviews kid's flicks (The NC does a lot, but not exclusively), so there's a hole in the market. Plus, it would give him a chance to talk about movies he actually liked, since as we've seen in the ParaNorman and Lego Movie vlogs, he is actually a very insightful critic, and his joy upon seeing something that isn't so completely condescending to children is very infectious. Alternate that with some classic Angry Jake, sit him on a couch with a Willy Wonka poster behind him, throw in the odd cameo, and baby, you got a stew goin'!

Understandable. But I assure you that the few of us involvolved in planning this took great care in this. That's why we chose specifically to go with a monthly plan as opposed to a per video plan. With the amount of content we already put out a per video plan would be extreme. The genius of patreon is that it gives us the freedom to use these donations in different ways and to have continuous support and ability to achieve all the goals we have. With kickstarter we would be limited to raising funds for one specific project.

Great to see this happen, but I'm kinda iffy on some of the milestones. I'd like to see a Snob animated series but what about some more realistic goals, like removing the mid-roll ads or giving Jake a "get out of bad movie free" card for one of the more worst movies he's gotta see. Just asking.
Reply
David
12/17/2014 03:13:12 am
Dude nobody but Jake wants Jake to have a get out of a bad movie card. And I hate to tell you but mid rolls are here to stay. Ad revenue is how Brad makes his living and is able to keep doing this stuff. The funds raised by patreon will give is the opportunity to do more. New shows. New movies. More cons. Better quality. And while we all love doing this stuff, because frankly it's a blast, this is going to allow brad to be able to throw something our way monetarily for our time and effort and be able to have somebody come in and lend a hand with the buisness side of things so he can focus on the good parts. But I tell ya what sir, if this starts doing well enough I'll make it my mission to try and get rid of midrolls. But to make that happen this whole thing would have to exceed our wildest expectations. We've always said we have the best fans, and the past day has been proof of that. The amount of support and generosity in such a brief amount of time has been amazingly gratifying. And we are all determined to make sure that we deserve it.

To be honest we expected a bit of backlash. And we've recieved far less than we expected. Theres always a sense of ownership with the things people are passionate about. And we're no different. But no some people don't realize what goes into these silly little videos. Its not exactly the most fun way to put it, but it is the truth, this is a business. It's fun one to be sure, but a business regardless, and the videos on this site are our product. A product that is gladly provided for free. And as time goes by and our lives change Brad has been put in the position of either letting things evolve or stagnate. We have to change to keep going. But what were attempting to do is make things better for everybody especially our fans. We're not suddenly making this a subscription only service. Nor is that ever going to happen. Brad, Ryan, and myself have been talking about this and planning this move for a few months, and what this move affords us and our friends. And what we can provide in return for the generosity.
