Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness host of the bean town podcast coming to you live on Saturday
November 17th live from bean town USA here at 817 St. Paul Street right in the heart of America
What's going on? How is everyone? My name is Quinn. I'm the host of the show the bean town podcast
aka the people's podcast one of Baltimore City's top
500
Podcasts. How's everyone doing today? It has gotten a little cold out here on the east coast
We had some snow happening was a yesterday or Thursday
I think it was Thursday when the snow was taking place, but it was right at the freezing
point. So it was kind of that gross, super wet snowing and then by the late afternoon, the
temperature was actually warming up steadily throughout the day. So it kind of turned into rain,
but it was gross, not a bit stuck, but it's pretty cold. It's a little bit colder than I was expecting.
I know when I travel on tour and stuff
and I'm talking to people and they ask me how I like Baltimore specifically compared to
Illinois where I'm from and I always say well you know the summers are way worse but the
winters aren't as bad and that was the case last year. It really wasn't that bad of a winter
and it really didn't precipitate terribly often. But boy, did we get started early this year?
So how is everyone doing?
We've got a lot to get to today, a couple different topics that we're going to be
jumping around on a quick little preview of what's coming up.
Should be a busy week coming ahead for the podcast. We are going to be doing
our Thanksgiving special live from Delaware. Now for those hardcore podcast followers, you know that
one of our, I think we're up to five, Bean Town unplugged specials is actually from the episode
was, or the special was recorded in Beanentown, but it was about our personal
day in Delaware.
I know most people don't think of taking a vacation day to go visit the state of Delaware,
but I had access to a car, took the day off and went and you can go check it out.
I think I was back in April or May when I took that personal day.
It was before summer. But we did a bunch of
things. We went to Dockfish Head, Brin Company, checked out the Naval Academy in Annapolis,
and we went to Roebath Beach. And lots of good stuff. Went in saw Jurassic World Falling Kingdom,
one of the worst movies of the year. I will be coming out with my list
of favorite and least favorite movies of the year once we get into December, probably
around New Year's Eve, to give everybody an equal shot at coming out with their movies.
But movies are on the agenda today, not because I watched one this past week but also because I wasn't able to watch one this past week
We'll tell you more about that that'll be how we close the show so if you're looking for our discussion about movies
It'll probably be the last five ten minutes of this episode not looking to go terribly long today
Which is classic as he says every week we went way too long last week. So I wasn't
planning on talking about this, but now that I bring it up, last week, the how I met
your mother series finale commentary, I want to apologize to everyone. It was bad. Here's
a thing. It was about 50, 55 minutes long, which is way
longer than I even like to hear myself talking for. There were some really
solid nuggets of comedy and humor thrown into my 50 minute episode commentary,
but that's just the problem. It was 50 minutes long. I blame how I met your
mother for making their series finale a
double episode as impossible to follow. I still don't know who did Gone Girl knock
up what happened to base player they just said she was sick but they didn't show
her funeral or anything so as she dead did she just get separated we don't
really know. And then what's going on with this blue euphonium or whatever instrument
I was, I don't know. A lot of unexplained questions like an M Night Shamland movie. So take that
for what you will. Maybe we'll revisit the concept, but we definitely need to get a better
TV show. So agenda of what we're going to be doing today, Greek yogurt, almond milk,
fresh, grocery list hang on. Okay, we are going to be talking about some potential upgrades
or additions or just overall new things to the podcast that we're looking at achieving in the 2019 year.
Some of them are ambitious and things that we're not actually going after.
Some of them are much more manageable and then some things are not anything that require
any action from the fan.
Some of them are just updates.
So we'll start off with that.
I mentioned in my Instagram live video, which we posted just about 10 minutes ago,
burgers that instead of buns have grilled cheeses
is pretty crazy.
So we're gonna be digging into that, pretty tasty.
We are gonna be having a word from our new sponsor,
which is pretty exciting.
We've got an advertisement to reach everybody.
It's about a minute long, so that should be good.
I'm going to give right now, in fact, because we'll save, we'll finish up with our movies,
and I'll talk a little bit more about that in a whole movie pass.
I want to give a quick shout out to my friend Steph, who went swing dancing last night, put
herself out of her comfort zone, went to a place down by the stadium's five dollar rail drinks. So I don't know exactly where the
place was, but I'm sure if you Google swing dancing in Baltimore, you'll be
able to find out where that was taking place. So check that out stuff. I hope
you're happy with your shout out, although I'm not confident that she's ever even listened to an episode of the Bean Tom podcast.
So that's sort of our agenda before I jump into some of the podcasting updates for those
who are wondering now we're about two and a half weeks removed from the breakup and
from getting strepthro throat and all that stuff.
So things in general are better, works been solid,
just in terms of how I'm feeling personally.
It's been okay, I definitely am still having lots of
moments of just quiet times and sadness and reflection,
which those are good to have occasionally,
but they're just been happening a bit more frequently than what I would desire to have so everything's
everything's gonna be just fine but you know still a little sore and then health
has been fine you all remember started on a diet when I got back from the
fall 2018 tour that's That's going okay.
It's not, I'm not going like hardcore diet
as I've done in the past.
And I'm cheating a little bit more frequently
than I should be.
This weekend in particular is bad
with alcohol.
I went out with friend last night
and I have another friend's birthday party tonight.
So, I don't know, last night I had one, two beers, I think.
And then tonight, I'll probably just get a bottle of wine.
That's where my go-to when there are house parties,
I like to do the bottle of wine because you might be sitting there thinking,
wow, you're drinking a whole bottle of wine, that's crazy.
But consider this, that's not only my minimum, but that's my maximum, too, with the exception
of maybe a shot, one or two, if, you know, depending on the scene.
So instead of drinking tons and tons of beers and really packing in the calories and, I
don't know, that stuff will make me throw up if I drink too much of it.
I got my bottle of wine and paste myself.
We're talking like a two, three hour get together.
That's one hefty glass of wine every hour.
I think that's good enough for me.
And that gets me to the perfect point
where I'm pretty buzzed, but I'm not sloshed. And I can get home, I can go to bed, my hangover is usually not too bad.
As long as it's red wine, if I do white wine, then it will be bad.
But so, the diet's going okay, trying to run.
I'm not, my willpower for running has been bad, which is terrible, because my brother just sent some pictures this morning he ran a 130 half
this morning which was excellent. So I got some, got some catching up to you because my PR in a half
I think is 147 so and I have nowhere near that right now. So there's some work to do but here
moving forward here are some updates to the podcast
that are good for everybody to know about.
So number one, throughout the year,
we've sort of been adding new platforms
where you can find the Bington podcast.
It all started on YouTube.
That was the original, and then we decided to jump
to SoundCloud when we did our Pledge Drive fundraiser,
which we'll be talking about in one second here.
The first annual in this past year, second annual one will be coming up in 2019.
That was the first kind of major expense of the Bean Town podcast. So the technology,
the equipment, didn't cost me a ton, probably about a hundred bucks total. But the SoundCloud platform where it can host unlimited shows,
which is the long-term plan, that does cost me about $120 a year. So that was the first major
expenditure. None of the other ones, none of the other platforms we've come across have
cost money. So now we're on, when you go on SoundCloud you can automatically get onto
iTunes, Apple Podcast, all that stuff. I also got on Google Play, got on Stitcher.
Player FM is one of those platforms that I advertise but I don't know much about
it. But we just show up there randomly. So I assume it pulls from SoundCloud
somehow. I was following someone of my friends is also a podcaster. The local
glow you can check out his show on Facebook or I assume you can just Google local glow podcasts.
You can find it out. Tariq Shahada was doing a little Facebook status action this past week.
Just pulling his friends, fans and listeners where did they listen to their podcast? And one website that was brought up that got a couple of likes was a website called
castbox.fm. Now this is not a website I've ever heard of.
I assume it's a website and an app, although I haven't looked into it enough, but you can
basically just upload your stuff for free, and I think it's unlimited storage. So I played around with it a little bit.
And I uploaded my very first episode from January.
Actually, I couldn't, for some reason,
I was struggling to find the file for my very, very first
episode.
So this first one I have up on CasBock.
I thought.fm is from January 20th.
The thing is, I'm happy to get all the episodes on there.
It's just going to take a ton of time because it's a lot of opening new tabs to copy and paste
episode descriptions and then just the physical upload time.
I mean, this is episode number 45.
And so this isn't like a little 10 minute,
like, oh, let me just throw my podcast on this,
castbox.fm.
It's gonna take multiple hours to do.
So, I don't know.
If anybody out there uses castbox.fm to listen to your podcast,
you can now find exactly one,
being Tom Podcast episode on there from January 20th. I guarantee it's a pretty terrible episode, to listen to your podcast. You can now find exactly one bean-tongued podcast episode
on there from January 20th.
I guarantee it's a pretty terrible episode,
but you can find it on there.
If you are a listener of castbox.fm, let us know.
You can always tweet at us.
We're at bean-tongued casts.
We have a Facebook page.
Most importantly, we are on Yahoo.
So bean-tongued are on Yahoo. So bean Tom podcast Yahoo dot com with bean Tom
Be and TV and podcast a Yahoo dot com you can always find us there send us your comments concerns your gripes your groans
All that good stuff. Listen to discretion is advised
He says 13 minutes into the podcast when you are checking out the bean Tom podcast number one
We'll occasionally use some foul language although there's no chicken in the kitchen
today. Number two, the podcast is objectively terrible. I'm feeling pretty good about
this episode. It's kind of getting back to our roots. None of the crazy experimental stuff.
I was thinking about trying out a song. There's a death cap song on their most recent album
thank you for today that dropped back in August that I was thinking of trying to pull off called 60 and punk.
I couldn't get the guitar quite where I wanted it. And it's just kind of a little, it's
a slow, not, it's not boring. So I don't think anything is boring, but you know, there's
just not a lot to listen to, but it's really pretty. The lyrics are amazing, so when you get that,
and I can't do it, just as Ben Giver is a god.
So go check out 60 and punk,
go check out thank you for today when you have the time.
But 60 and punk is probably my favorite song
off of that album, so really good lyrics.
Other things coming up on the podcast,
so this idea was brought to my attention by myself
trademarking and
Copywriting the podcast. So
one of the very first things that
You might notice when you're playing around in your Google and bean Tom podcast online is that we are not
the only
Bean Tom podcast that exists. There is another one in
an imposter from like five years ago. They have four episodes online. I think they're from
like 2013 and there doesn't seem to be any sort of action or anything going on with this podcast. So that's why I felt entitled to jump in on the name
because they got five episodes up,
four episodes up, five years ago,
I've got 45 and counting.
And after doing this podcast for 60 years,
that's gonna be like 3,000 episodes.
So 3,000 versus four, I don't know, you tell me, but I was doing some research into the whole
copywriting and trademarking rules.
And it seems like after three years of sort of inactivity, you can jump in and grab it.
So I started to research, first of all, the difference we can copywriting and trademarking.
I still don't completely understand.
It's one of those things where every time I Google it, I read it and I get it, I just fail
to retain the information.
Same thing with complement for complement.
The I versus the kills me every time.
But I digress.
Copywriting seems to only be like 50 bucks, but I don't think the copywriting
Affirmary quickly is the one that I want for the bean-tongued podcast.
I think trademarking is what you want.
And that looks like it's going to cost about a thousand dollars.
So, this is not a year-to-project for the bean-tongued podcast.
It's not a year-to-goal.
I'm not going to try to raise
$1,000 to trademark the podcast. I don't think it's completely necessary at this
point, but other things that are on my agenda for year two and now we're
again into serious strange or like actual things that I want to be doing.
And actually, there's only really kind of one thing
that's big about it, a website.
So currently our homepage will direct you
to our SoundCloud page, which is fine,
but all you're really getting is the audio tracks
and a couple pictures,
and you're not really getting the full
Bean Tom podcast experience. So I was doing some price shopping on website,
website domains, all that stuff. BeanTompodcast.com is out there so you
better believe that we're gonna be grabbing that at some point this next year.
It's looking like a new website on the
cheap end, which is all I think I need right now would cost about $7 a month or
about $70 for the year. So when you add that to the SoundCloud is about $130, $140
a year and that's what we get out of SoundCloud again is unlimited storage.
So there's never any concerns about having to delete past episodes.
You'll always have the full anthology of being Tom Podcast, which I really like because
honestly like for as many episodes we've had this year that have just been bland and boring
and not that exciting.
Think of all the, and we'll do a great recap, you know, in January of our first year.
We think of all the great episodes we have.
We had Matthew Feeder come on to help you do my taxes live on the area.
Ryan Austin, Liggin and I give her Oscar predictions.
We did a roast of the host, Quinn David Furness. We got my
grandma's cell to come on the podcast, this podcast, being Tom podcasting, talk
about her stamping interest in habits. We went on tour for the very first time all
across America to bring you regional, cultural, all that good stuff. We went to Alaska, we went to Sioux Falls.
The podcast has been everywhere, man.
It's just been a crazy amount of fun.
And we've done some crazy things with awesome people,
awesome interviews, some awesome music.
Did a concert series, did two concerts series.
So, yeah, for as much as, you know, the bean
town podcast is me sitting in my living room on the flower
chair, rambling, think of all the fun and all the achievements
we've had in year one. And that's what we're going to continue
doing in year two. And in order to enhance that experience, we're
going to get the website launched, we're going to continue on
all these different great platforms. And we're going to get the website launched. We're going to continue on all these different great platforms.
And we're going to be asking for your help. So the bean town
Pledge Drive, Talathon Fundraiser year two,
2019, we're going to be coming to you live. I believe February is our target month for that fundraising goal.
It's looking like we're gonna be setting the bar
if I'm doing my math right, we have 135 plus 78,
that's $213, so we round up to $215.
That's going to be our goal for this year.
And again, that's not to get me handsomely paid
for the podcast, I'm making zero money off of this with the exception of the ad revenue and sponsors and
all that stuff.
That $215 excuse me, don't let me bump it up to 220 because I don't want to be a glutton
like Scrooge McDuck.
215 that goes exclusively towards our SoundCloud platform where we host our podcast and then our website.
We'll be streaming that podcast content
and then we'll have other amazing news,
maybe start a bean town blog,
pictures, live inaction stuff.
It's all gonna be there.
And there's gonna be so much happening between now
and that pledge I fundraiser.
So maybe you're on the fence right now about whether or not want to donate a little bit, wait till you see our Christmas
special. I tell you what, this is going to be the most lit Christmas special you could ever imagine.
So that is all coming up. We're going to be doing something new this year. So last year we were
just feeling donations. It was just for our podcast hosting. This year
we're going to have different donor tiers. So we're going
to be doing some incentives. It's going to be a whole lot of
fun. Maybe you get some shout outs, maybe get some swags,
maybe you'll get a free plug for, you know, your business or
your website for a month. So there's just, there's a lot to look forward to here,
but I just wanted to give everybody a quick taste
of what some of the things are.
And those are just the paid things,
or some other things we're excited about coming up in year two.
But that's where the money is working towards.
That's why we raise money so that everybody can enjoy it
so that we can keep putting out amazing content week after week.
So the pledge drive, telephone fundraiser, it's going to be happening in February.
We're going to be live streaming in again.
It's going to be a whole lot of fun.
So market calendars for that.
We don't have the specific dates at yet, but it will be happening in the month of February.
Okay.
but it will be happening in the month of February. Okay, there is two other things I want to mention.
First though, we are going to be doing an ad
from one of our new sponsors.
So check this out.

Okay, I mentioned on the live stream
that we were gonna be talking about a quick
little topic. It's just a quirky little thing before we get into our final set piece here, but
I've now had this meal a couple of times. Once when I was in, where was I? Hoffman's States,
Illinois, and then I also had this in Louisville, Kentucky. Maybe you've seen this, maybe
it haven't, but I'm about to blow your mind. So you go to like a bar and grill type of
place where a pub, you get a burger and it's just a pretty normal burger with normal
fixings and all that stuff. But instead of the buns, here's the kicker. It's two grilled cheese sandwiches.
Whoa. How crazy is that? And it might sound to you like, this is amazing. I got to do that. You
might be thinking, oh my gosh, this is gross. I can never do that. I'm telling you it's a
ethereal experience. It's gonna be enigmatic, a piferific.
You're gonna want to try this if you ever get the chance.
From top to bottom grilled cheese and we're just talking like
classic wonder bread butter that baby up
American or cheddar cheese. It don't matter and then you got your lettuce tomato onions a nice quarter pound burger Angus beef
And then you got
Another grilled cheese sandwich on the bottom. Oh my goodness, is it delicious? We're probably looking at like,
I don't know how many calories that would be probably like a thousand calories.
And in the fries, it's like 1,300, 1,400, but boy, I'll be damned if that ain't one of the most
delicious things that I've ever tasted in my life. I've done it both ways where you just put your whole mouth on it.
And you just bite into it, you have the whole experience. That's a lot. There's a lot of flavor
packed into that bite and it happens pretty fast. I've also, when I was in Louisville,
because it was just too much to handle, I deconstructed it, so I just ate it from top to bottom.
I went, eat the grilled cheese, and then I kind of had the burger and all the fixings.
Just kind of held it together with my hands, and then I had the bottom grilled cheese.
It's a lot, and it's going to raise your cholesterol and your blood pressure and you're going to need to make another new notch on your belt.
But boy, that stuff is absolutely delicious. So if you ever get the chance, you ever see that on the menu,
I highly encourage everyone to check it out. burger, one of the tastiest creations on God's green earth. So the last thing that
we want to talk about is movie pass. We haven't talked about movie pass in a
little while. I had mentioned a couple episodes ago now that we are having a lot
of problems with the app and
movie times not showing up and some theaters just not offering anything anymore
and I was getting frustrated with it. I was able to use it a couple like two
weeks back and I don't remember what movie I saw but I was able to use it. It
functioned everything worked out okay. Here is the last straw. I was able to use it. It functioned everything worked out okay.
Here is the last straw. I was hoping to go see boy erase last night. Luke is
hedges. Nicole Kibman, Russell Crowe, Joel Etcher, Tim Direct, and starting it.
Looks fantastic. Amazing reviews. It's about conversion therapy. And I wake up in the morning getting ready for work. I'm super pumped because
the app is working, which it doesn't usually work. And it's showing up and all the movies and all
the showtime for boy race at my local theater. I'm like, sweet. I get to go to work. I get to go see
this movie that I've like, this is like a top five movie on my wish list for this year. Amazing
actors. I get home from work, the app is down, the movie is not available, the theater has
no more show times. If you are a movie pass subscriber or you were a movie pass subscriber,
you know exactly what I'm talking about. So I really hate to do this,
but my billing cycle ends in three days.
It's time.
It's time to say goodbye to MoviePass.
Grab the Kleenex, we're gonna get emotional.
One of the things I like about MoviePass is you can go into your MoviePass history and
you can actually see all the movies that you've seen with MoviePass.
And for whatever reason, so I just pull up the history and now I said all the great things
while it's not actually showing me everything.
I've seen way more movies with movie pass in this. So not every single one is showing up, which is kind of a bummer.
But let's let's kind of run through. So I've had movie passed for about
10 months. It's pretty much been the 2018 year when I had it because I got it right at the right in the middle of Oscar season and started going nuts with it. I will also mention
that currently movie pass only lets you see one movie once. It used to be unlimited. I
could see a movie five times if I wanted to. I never did. The most I ever did was three
times. But so some of the movies I want starting with Oscar season last year, I saw every
best picture nominee before the best picture nominees were even announced. And most of that
was through a movie past movies like Call Me By Your Name, Shape of Water, which won
Darkest Hour, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread.
What else was on there? I don't remember.
ItaƱa wasn't nominated for Best Picture,
but I saw that a couple of times.
Something really cool that I got to do,
actually two different things.
There are a bunch of categories in the Oscars that you just...
If you're just a casual fan and you don't really fall it super close,
you'll never see these movies in your life.
Things like the animated and live action shorts and the foreign films. Most of those movies are
things people have never heard of and they just kind of see them at the ceremonies and that's the
end of it. I got to see both the live action and the animated short films at my local theater because
they run them. Got to see them for free with movie pass.
I got to see some of the foreign language films.
I saw a fantastic woman, which one you got to see the insult,
which was fantastic.
I got to see Loveless, which was so sad, but great.
I got to see some comedies which flew under the radar in 2018,
but which were fantastic things like thoroughbreds,
the death of Stalin,
Isle of dogs, they got to see Deadpool 2.
Some other movies that may or may not garner attention at a war season because they think came out so early in this year
But our movies that I absolutely recommend to everybody who has the opportunity something like you were never really here
With walking Phoenix the rider, which was amazing.
I think I talked about it because the movie isn't actors. It's just regular people and the family plays the family.
The first three formed with Ethan Hawke. I got the chance to see on Chessel Beach with Sarsher Ronan.
I got the opportunity. One of my favorite movies of the entire year, American Animals, about the art, heist at Transylvania University, I got to see. Mountain, which is just like this
crazy thing that I never knew existed until it showed up on a movie pass. It basically just
an hour long orchestra piece with clips of mountains, like moving footage like drones and stuff and
like people skateboarding skiing narrated by Willem Defot, an amazing art piece
a very non-traditional movie but fantastic nonetheless. Other movies in that
category, sorry to bother you, I don't think a ton of people saw, but amazing.
Army Hammer, one of my favorite performances of the year
in that movie, I got to see Leave No Trace,
Ben Foster, Thompson McKenzie,
Deborah, it's like, Granting or something,
the director who also did Winner's Bone,
this was her first movie since then.
I went on and I read the book that it was based off of after.
I loved both of them, super sad,
but Leave No Trace was fantastic.
And then my favorite movie of the year, I got
to see with movie pass, and this might surprise people, this was my favorite movie of the year,
but Mission Impossible Fallout, AK Mission Impossible 6, maybe the greatest action movie of all
time. If you haven't seen MI6 and you're just thinking, I've seen one or two Mission
Impossible, they're fine, like good action,
Tom Cruise is a great action star,
but they all kind of feel the same, don't they?
I'm telling you right now, I am imploring you
to go find it online, go get it from the library,
red box, whatever you have to see this movie.
Two of the set pieces are some of the most incredible things
I've ever seen. The halo jump towards the Two of the set pieces are some of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
The halo jump towards the beginning of the movie and then the helicopter chase in the final set piece.
These things are just like, it's shocking how amazing they were. This movie is one of the greatest,
if not the greatest action movie of all time. And I know it's not gonna get any sort of cooler recognition
at the Oscars, cause it's Mission Impossible.
It's part of franchise, but this is one of,
this is my favorite movie of the year.
And it's absolutely amazing.
It's stunning how great this was.
You didn't think that the whole Mission Impossible thing
or Tom Cruise could get any better after, the four or five four or five sequence, two movies, ghost, particle, and
Rogation that were similar to each other, both fantastic, but seemed like they kind of topped out at peak action, experience, and then mission of possible fallout comes along.
And it's like, holy crap.
This is, there are no words to describe how amazing it is and how I feel about it.
So go check out Mission Impossible Fallout.
When you get the chance, it's absolutely worth it.
It will blow your mind like no other action movie
has ever done in the past.
But that's just a sampling of the movies
that I saw with movie pass.
Again, the original plan was unlimited movies for $10 a month and then the
summer when they finally ran out of money, they changed it to, well they changed it around
a bunch of times, which was really tough to follow, but right now it's currently three
movies a month for $10. Still a great deal, but not a good deal when the app doesn't
work and when you can't utilize it and when you're basically just bleeding money.
So with mixed emotions and a heavy heart,
I have my movie pass account pulled up on my phone
and we are now going to go to plan and billing.
How are they gonna let me kill it?
I need to cancel.
You know what I might have to do this off-air and go and figure out how to kill my movie
pass account.
But it's been a lot of fun.
I think I did the math a little bit ago.
And I think I saved about $5 or $600 on movie pass this past year,
which now that's not like that's $5 or $600
that I was going to be spending no matter what. A lot of the times when I used my
movie past go see movie, it was just to see a movie a second or a third time
back in the good old days, or just to see movies that looked interesting and I
wouldn't normally shop, you know, 10, 12 bucks to see them just because I may work in education and I don't have a ton of money.
But movies that, you know, because I didn't have to pay anything for them at the time,
I just wanted to go check it out.
So I was able to see lots of really cool movies.
And it's kind of sad that it's definitely going to cut back
on what I'm able to do moving forward.
There are some other plans out there.
I know the big one that gets all the national attention
as AMC stubs.
That doesn't work for me because there are no AMCs in my city.
The other one is
Sinemia, I'm not sure how you pronounce it, but
that seems to be comparable to what the current movie past,
plant movie past plan is so I'm going to look into that a
little bit more read about it online.
But for now, it's going to be a little bit of a hold on my movie watching habit.
Let's see, I'm trying to find one more, trying to take one more swipe at canceling it.
So I can do it in a big emotional final set piece on the last portion of the podcast.
So it says you can cancel your comp, you're going to do the Count tab,
count detail section plan billing, venture and fo with the cancel button.
Okay, so let's try that. They make it harder than it should be, which is classic movie pass.
Count details, plan and billing. I want to cancel my plan. There we go. Reason for cancellation required. Oh, I'm going to get a lay a new one into them. So the options are price, cedar section,
ease of use, lack of use, service offerings, app functionality. That's the one I'm doing.
App functionality. And please note, if you cancel your account, you'll not be able to
re-actuate your counter star new subscription for nine months.
Well, here's the thing.
Movie Pass is not going to exist in nine months.
So RIP to Movie Pass, you guys, it was a hack of a ride, but your movie pass will remain
an act of until the end of a current billing period.
So I still have three days left.
I can go see, I still have two more movies left this month.
If the app worked month if the app worked
Okay, cancel subscription. I wish you guys could see it's right now
It's a big red button just like in the movies and
cancel membership your column and main activate to 1120 yes
cancel membership subscription canceled there it is
Wow that was Cancel membership. Subscription cancelled. There it is. Wow. That was a hack of a time. I tell you what. And it's something that I should have cancelled two or three months ago.
Literally at the end of summer because I had seen the warning signs at that point.
But I was still holding on that. Even if I could just get the three movies a month for $10, like that's totally fine, because I'm still
gonna go see three movies a month. I'm still gonna save 20 bucks a month, which is fantastic.
But movie pass, you just let me down one too many times. So that's the end of that, and
that's gonna be the end of this podcast episode number 45
