Support Now Playing Podcast
Since 2007 Now Playing Podcast has been bringing you free, in-depth movie reviews.
Since January, 2011 a new, free review has been released every single week with no breaks.
All that content takes a large team of people, and the shows that we make free for you to hear are not free for us to make. In order to retain our independence, we have no sponsors and we play no ads. We are a 100% crowdfunded podcast. We rely on listeners like you to enable Now Playing to continue releasing episodes at the pace and of the quality you expect.
Our Current Bonus Reviews:
New Retrospectives for Winter 2023/Spring 2024
Returning series with new installments coming out
Become a Patron for $10/mo.

Biannual Donation Drives
Want to just make a single pledge instead of a monthly one? Twice a year we run donation drives where you make a one-time donation directly to us via PayPal. (These donations are processed by hand so it can take up to two business days to get the email with information how to get your bonus podcasts).
In exchange, you get bundles of “Thank You” podcasts. The more you pledge, the more bonus podcasts you get.
The bundles change each Spring and Fall.
These podcasts are also available through Podbean and Patreon’s higher levels, whereas the donation drives don’t get you the monthly Patron-exclusive shows.
See our current Summer/Fall 2024 donation drive.
Individual Episode Donation
You can also get donation episodes one-off a’la carte. This option is only available through our Patreon digital shop, but this is a one-time donation and not a recurring payment. (This is for donation drive episodes only; the Patron exclusive podcasts are not available individually).
See a list of all available bonus donation episodes.
In Summary
No matter how you choose to support us, either for a couple bucks for a single bonus episode or with a monthly pledge, we are eternally grateful for your support.
