PATREON FAQ's/ START HERE

Hey friends!! Welcome to the Popcorn in Bed Patreon. Thank you so much for being here. This post is the map for how everything works.

WHERE THINGS LIVE NOW

The library, requests, Pick-A-Flick, and the new player are all here: https://beta.popcorninbed.com/ (yes, still in beta). Sign in with Patreon, Google, or email. Your membership is what unlocks it.

To watch a reaction, open that title's Patreon post and use the link rail on the post (it may be at the top or the bottom).

WHAT THE LINK RAIL MEANS

Every reaction post has a row like this (it may be at the top or the bottom):

⚡Auto-Sync (Disney+) | 🎬 Requests | 🍿 Pick-A-Flick | ▶️ YouTube | 💻 Watch/Download

Auto-Sync: the watch-along helper. Install the PIB Auto Sync extension (Chrome or Edge), then this link opens setup for that title on the service in the parentheses (Disney+, Max, Peacock, etc.). My reaction follows your movie: pause, skip, rewind, resize, or split screen, and it stays lined up. Desktop Chrome or Edge, signed in, Kernel Club or Extra Butter. If you play a file (Plex or on your computer), you can line up the timing once and we'll remember it. https://beta.popcorninbed.com/auto-sync
Requests: add and vote on what you want me to watch next. https://beta.popcorninbed.com/requests
Pick-A-Flick: the monthly draw. https://beta.popcorninbed.com/paf Kernel Club and Extra Butter can submit. Only Extra Butter keeps their pick from month to month. Everyone else needs to re-enter it each month.
YouTube: the original watch-along, if that's how you like to do it.
Watch/Download: the new player for that title. This is usually the one you're looking for.

Linking your Patreon on the new site is required. The post link is still the one that takes you to that specific reaction.

If the new player is being weird: https://beta.popcorninbed.com/forum/beta-feedback/full-reaction-player-feedback

HOW DO I WATCH A FULL REACTION?

The movie is blurred on purpose because of copyright. It's a watch-along, so you play your own copy and watch my reaction with it.

Easiest now: Auto-Sync (above), or Watch/Download for the new player, or YouTube for the old way. Extra tips from the community are still here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-do-you-sync-59731523

If you bought a reaction as a one-off (not through a tier) and you can't find it, don't dig through old links. Use Watch/Download or YouTube on the link rail.

PICK-A-FLICK AND SUGGESTIONS

Pick-A-Flick is the monthly drawing for Kernel Club and Extra Butter. I pick one submission at random and add it to the next month's schedule. Extra Butter picks roll over. Kernel Club needs to go back in each month.

For regular suggestions, comments and messages here still mean a lot to me. The organized place to add and vote is Requests on the new site. Please check my Letterboxd first so you know what I've already seen: https://letterboxd.com/pib1/films/

PATREON RULES

Most of these go without saying, but:

Be kind. Different movie opinions are great. Harassment and name-calling are not. Friendly banter is fine.
No racism. Anyone caught doing that will be blocked and banned.
No religious or political discussion. Movies and shows only.
No spoilers. I go in blind, and a lot of you do too.
Have fun. That's the whole point.
