B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the one-year anniversary of the B Movies Channel into the ol’ VCR.

A little over a year ago, I sent Elliott a text asking her what if, hypothetically, we started a YouTube channel for B Movies. 

She immediately said yes, and thus began one of the craziest journeys I’ve ever started. 

I’ll be honest—I was absolutely freakin’ terrified to start a YouTube channel. 

I’ve been writing on the internet for 13+ years, so I’m used to hate comments and having complete strangers come for me. 

But putting myself on YouTube for over 25 minutes a week?

Now THAT made me anxious. 

However, I don’t regret it for a second. 

I feel like the B Movies Channel has really come into its own over the past year. 

I watched a little bit of our debut video the other day, and I’m so proud of myself. 

My nerves got the best of me, and I was talking super fast to the point of gasping for air. 

Now, I just sit down, hit record, and feel like I’m having a conversation with all of you. 

Are there times we’ve gotten unsavory comments or people have discouraged me from continuing the channel IRL?

(Including someone being upset because I used our platform to talk about how it’s okay to not grieve the death of your abuser 12 hours after they died because it made the video start later—I couldn’t make this up if I tried.) 

Totally.

That’s the unfortunate reality of being on the internet. 

For the most part, though, everyone has been beyond supportive, and THAT’S why I want to keep releasing videos on the B Movies Channel. 

I’ll be even more honest and say that there have been times recently that I thought about ending it, but thanks to all of your support and patience in moving our release, it helped combat any burnout or hesitation I was feeling. 

The initial agreement I made with everyone was that I was going to try YouTube for a year and then go from there. 

Well, Movie Mavens, I’m here to tell you that we currently plan to keep going. 

I love the time I spend each week with you. 

I love writing scripts. 

I love scouring the internet and social media to find you all different kinds of content. 

I never thought I’d say this, but I love YouTube. 

So, Movie Mavens, here’s to a full year of the B Movies Channel, and to many, many more. 

Thank you so much for everything. 🖤
