Organizing features content

Turning hundreds of hours of binge watching into words

Posted on September 9, 2015 in Uncategorized by Geoff Rosenthal, Features Editor

If most readers aren’t aware, I’m known as The Features Guy on The Poly. I don’t think you’ll be able to find an issue in the past year and a half that doesn’t have at least one review from me, with most of the Reviews focusing on television. The truth is, I’m a self-confessed complete media consumer. I don’t just watch movies or shows, I consume them. They feed me, likewise with books and video games. And going off of this, I think I should discuss my process as an avid media-phile.

First, time management is a huge factor. How I work is usually by putting something on in the background that requires little distraction, but gives me something entertaining to listen to. This is where I usually use podcasts or a show I want to rewatch, like The Office. However, if it’s a weekly show, I make some time to give it my full attention on the release date or at another point when I have time. Things are a bit trickier with whole series’ or movies which require long chunks of time. I usually save them for when I have long stretches of waiting, like the two hours I have between classes or waiting for laundry.

Next, and probably the most important step for someone who likes talking about shows, is documenting them. I don’t mean wall-to-wall shelves filled with every single thing you’ve ever glanced at, just a Google Doc with them listed. Personally I sort them by color to signify cultural impact and then place them into categories based on my personal perception of the work. As well, a “To Watch List” helps you keep fresh content on queue rather than browsing Netflix like a wandering nomad. This list brings me into my final point…

You should find people with similar taste as you! Pretty simple, right? However, I usually find that when you have friends with similar tastes, it means there is a lot of overlap in terms of viewing, which is why I use my list for recommendations on what I’ve seen, or even offer to watch something together. I’m someone who enjoys re-watching a show with company in order to get a new perspective on a work, so this allows me to share an enjoyable piece with a friend.

I think media in general is seen as an incredibly insular activity: binge watching on the weekend, reading in bed, playing video games alone in your room; but the truth is, these aren’t personal experiences. Everyone can watch, read, or play exactly what they want, but I find that the most joy I get out of these experiences is talking about and sharing mine with others.
