Keep the reviews coming.

Two YouTube channels, the reviews, the Long Cut and the Radar are all made by one person: me. Here’s how to help, and what you get back.

None of this changes what I say about a movie or what the Radar shows anyone. Every disc pays me the same, and nothing is ranked by who paid.

Questions

What’s the difference between Supporter and Radar Plus?

Radar Plus is the Radar with more of it working for you: price drops, running-low alerts and sales from your labels. Supporter is everything in Plus, plus a bonus video every month, a vote on the next one, a film request each month and 15% off the shop. Both are coming soon.

Supporter or a YouTube membership?

Supporter and the Director’s Cut YouTube membership both get you the monthly bonus video (Front Row, the $4.99 membership, does not). A membership is the easy one if you watch on YouTube: it lives on your YouTube account and YouTube bills it. Supporter is the one to pick if you also want Radar Plus and 15% off the shop.

Where do I find the bonus video?

Director’s Cut members find it on the Mike’s Movie Talk channel on YouTube. Supporters will find it on the supporters page on the Radar once Supporter opens.

How do I cancel?

Radar Plus and Supporter aren’t on sale yet. If you already have one, cancel any time from the Manage link on the Radar Plus page; you keep everything until the end of the period you’ve paid for. YouTube memberships are canceled through YouTube.

Is a tip a subscription?

No. Buy Mike a disc is one payment, once. There’s no account and nothing to cancel.
