Seems like a great job. It may get old though. I think it would be hard to watch stuff I’m not interested in, I’m not sure how a paycheck would change that.

Yeah, once that sorta thing becomes an everyday every hour work thing, it’d lose its novelty.

Yeah, I think balance and variety is the key to making that sort of job more palatable. A variety of activities tied to it, like you watch some of it, maybe write a report or review, maybe engage in discussions, then repeat the process in rough order. That might make the job more fun.

Don’t you have to write reviews then?
If it is a job you could put the tv on and stream constantly, and then go to another room and read and get paid for it!

That is a real life job that requires analytical abilities. You can get training for it. In fact I took a couple classes in high school about it so technically I could do this. But how much does it pay?
Of course it’s an objective look at a piece of art that has a subjective end goal. But still.

I have a friend who would be great at this. He has a degree in journalism and took a bunch of classes on film. I’ve talked to him about being a movie critic, but he didn’t want to watch chick flicks.
I’m not sure how much it pays @anon1571434.

The idea is that you have to actually love film work. I mean more than just “I like to go see the avengers and talk about movies with my friends”. Like you have to actually have a passion for this for it to not be meaningless.

I like my movies, but not particularly keen on netflix. I watch a couple of weeks and find I have seen all i want to see and don’t bother with it for the rest of that month. I leave it for awhile, get a free month and do that again. Amazon at least engages me for a whole month when I can be bothered to veg and binge. It’s been awhile since I have had either.
I wouldn’t want this job anyway.

I believe The job posting says Los Angeles. Is there a remote option for working there? Otherwise the opportunity is only available for LA locals

The link doesn’t work for me.
When I was younger I went and watched some shows and offered my opinion. Kind of like a survey. If I recall correctly I think they paid me like $30 for it. Only did it the one time. I forget how I happened upon that gig. It was many years ago.

I saw this story on the news, so there’s probably a lot of interest in it. The link was working yesterday. Sorry about that.
