PV Guide's premium tier is now live
Support my work with a paid subscription if you can
Good morning, PV Guide readers! Today’s the day: PV Guide is going premium.
Thank you all for your support with this new venture. Every reader means a lot to me! There will still be plenty for free subscribers to enjoy – the weekly weekend watchlist, and some of my reviews and interviews – but starting today, part of my work will be locked behind a paywall.
If you’re able to support me, you will be supporting algorithmic-free and actual human-made recommendations of movies, TV, and more. You’ll also be supporting my dream of continuing to do this work, and the possibility for bigger, cool projects.
Most immediately at the moment, I would really like to move off of Substack and bring my business elsewhere. Because I don’t have a job right now, the free platform is what’s most accessible to me. But you can help change that!
Here’s the PV Guide subscription roadmap – what you can expect with growth:
10 paid subscribers: I can move from Substack to Ghost or BeeHiv
25 paid subscribers: Monthly paid subscriber poll on a movie or project to cover
50 paid subscribers: Monthly personalized recommendations for paid subscribers
100 paid subscribers: The video game adaptation canon
250 paid subscribers: Around the world in action movies – creating a map of the best of the genre from as many countries as possible
600 paid subscribers: Approximately equivalent to a fair rate for my time spent on PV Guide
1000 paid subscribers: This can be my full-time job!
Anyone who signs up for an annual subscription between July 8, 2025 to July 8, 2026 will be added to my founding supporters list on the About page.
