We’ve Relaunched!

We are Hermophobia no more.

As the podcast has evolved into something different that it was when we started, we have chosen to reflect that change by launching a new site and taking a new name.

we are now

http://www.goodbaduglyfilms.com/

 

We are now doing two podcasts a week; one being a weekly discussion of current movie and video news and reviews, the second continuing our exploration of individual years in film.

Ross has joined the site and has been continuing to inject things with his insight and film knowledge, as well as regularly contributing written reviews of both video and theatrical releases.

Everyone is contributing blog posts as well…

We are having a great time starting over, so come join us! (Oh, and making comments is even easier than ever too! ¦¬))

Thank you for supporting Hermophobia, and we hope to hear from you at http://www.goodbaduglyfilms.com/ too!

Thanks,

-Allen
