We Love Movies
Flicks With Friends aims to bring you insightful and fun film and entertainment commentary without the nerd rage (mostly) prevalent on most sites nowadays.
Hosted by filmmaker and podcaster Shaun Collins (a veteran of over 25 years of jockeying a video store counter) each episode brings a new topic and a rotating group of friends to the couch to discuss. We also offer up our opinions on the latest movies with our spoiler free, two (ish) minute movie reviews. |
March 2024
It's March, and that means the Madness is here. It means Basketball and busted brackets.
Once again we are presenting the Ultimate Flicks With Friends MOVIE Madness Tournament 3: More Movies, More Madness! We have FOUR new regions (genres) and seeded them with the best, most iconic films of that type, pitted them against each other and YOU will select the winners!
As always, we'd like to see this really be the better films that win versus a popularity contest, but we have no way of policing that, so it will be what it will be.
Head over to our Facebook or Twitter pages to vote, and check back often, as there will be MULTIPLE posts per day in order to get through all the films in the tournament. In the event of a tie, the film with the higher seed will take the victory and advance, and just like games can be decided by the officials, we reserve the right to step in and settle disputes if needed!
Let's have some fun! March Movie Madness is upon us!

January 2024
Another year, another bout of crippling anxiety and depression. We say this not to illicit sympathy, though we certainly welcome it, but to say aloud in solidarity with so many others that yes, we have some issues and its okay to admit that things are not quite "fine."
And as we celebrate our 7th anniversary this year, we really want to focus on our love of movies, because the silver screen is largely responsible for keeping us around. I don't mean that as a euphemism, I am sincere when I say the darkness had gotten me so down that I contemplated the unthinkable, and it was the magic of the movies that stopped me. The thought of the upcoming Dune Part 2. Or discovering another wonderful surprise like The Holdovers. Or wondering if Marvel could right the MCU ship. And the thought of NOT being here for those and so many other things...
Well, we're still here. We are narrowing in on 3900 reviews in text, audio and video format posted on our Letterboxd page. (Click HERE to see them all!) We are gearing up for the Oscars. We are energized, and refuse to be defeated by a silly thing like a chemical imbalance. We are behind in our postings, but we are posting. (Thanks to our Patreon members for their patience and for sticking with us.)
As always, thanks for all your support, we love you!

This month marks our 7th Year Anniversary. Thank you one and all for believing in us and what we do!
We've surpassed 3800 reviews over on our Letterboxd page, with still more to come!

First thing's first. A HUGE thank you to our existing Patreon supporters. We could not do what we do without you. Yes, we know we're behind posting some of your stuff, but rest assured we are making progress on the back log. Stick with us! And while we're talking finances, if you are just finding us, can we be so bold as to ask you to run over to our Patreon page and place a donation? Every little bit helps.
Spooky season has arrived! Looking forward to adding some more scary films to our watched list (but not too scary) #CountdownToHalloween.
Still running behind on posting reviews of all things we've seen, but they are coming, slowly but surely. We've now surpassed 3700 reviews on Letterboxd with still more to come.
We've been working on ways to retool our recording sessions to get people back on the couch and get some new episodic content created so this isn't JUST a review site. But coordinating schedules with multiple guests is a challenge to say the least. Stay tuned.
Taking the family to Disney World for a much anticipated vacation, so we might be absent for a bit from your feeds, but rest assured we'll be back with a vengeance upon our return.

July 2023
Work continues on getting caught up, but the loss of our local Regal theatre certainly is making our THEATRE going much more challenging. As a result, we've had to delay many "new" films until we can see them at home. It's not ideal, not what we want, but it is what it is for now. Hopefully this will change in the near future.
On the most recently released reviews, we've started adding burned-in subtitles/closed captioning. Let us know what you think of this upgrade.

June 2023
The HUGE backlog of reviews is slowly being whittled down, and while we are still behind, we are working on them! Our apologies to our Patreon supporters for the delays. We hope you'll continue to be patient with us as we get em out.
We have now surpassed 3600 reviews in video, audio and text format with so many more to come. You can find those over on our Letterboxd page. Click HERE. The Blog of Eternal Stench is live and has audio content available, you can find those on the blog page or over on Spotify. And the big news of the month is that we have (to be honest, somewhat reluctantly) joined the TikTok revolution. We don't have much planned in the way of exclusive stuff, (yet) its just another way for you to find us. Scan the QR Code to follow us! As always, thank you for your support, and please, be kind to one another. |
Our Mission Statement
It's very much envogue right now to hate things we love. Star Wars, DC, Disney. You can almost tell how big a fan of something someone is by how much venom they spit all over it. Don't get us wrong, some of it--okay, maybe a lot of it--is very much deserved.
But we wanted to focus on the good. We want to talk about movies because we love movies. Life is too short to hate everything, so lets focus on the great stuff we do have. |
How We Started |
All Are Welcome |
Everybody has that group of friends that you hang out with and talk movies with and then you get up to leave and somebody asks something and you stand around and discuss that for another two hours right? We we basically thought it would be cool to record those conversations.
|
We might put on a good show of being elitist, (oh, who are we kidding? We are.) But all are welcome here. And your feedback is always welcome, whether you agree with us or don't. Please feel free to contact our ever growing list of contributors directly or through the contact page here to voice your thoughts!
