Hey there, groovy people! Checking in with a couple of fun updates. First, this blog has achieved yet another milestone that I could never have imagined when I started writing this thing a decade (!) ago: Every ’70s Movie has now received over 5 million page views. Thank you! I’m especially grateful to those of you have discovered (or rediscovered) the blog since regular daily posting ended. As always, enjoy the archived reviews, watch out for occasional new reviews as I gain access to previously unseen movies, and spread the word to like-minded cinemaniacs. Speaking of spreading the word, I'm also happy to report that Every ’70s Movie recently found its way to Instagram. The Instagram feed, which is updated every day, features links to nearly every review on this blog, in alphabetical order, accompanied by posters or stills. Please follow @every70smovie and share the feed with anyone who might enjoy the material. Anyway, that’s it for now. Thanks for your continued readership, and keep on keepin’ on!

congrats!!!
Just discovered your blog this morning--man I love it, just what I've been looking for! I'm looking forward to a LOT of exploring :)
Fantastic, and well deserved!
Also congratulations-- and, speaking for those of us who have yet to get past the million mark, I'd be curious if there's any single social media function that you most attribute with getting out the word about your work? Instagram, or something else?
Re: the question from Gene... Happy to say the readership was pure word of mouth. At some point I did some promotion on FB and Twitter, but the metrics suggest those efforts didn't have a significant impact on readership. (I've only just gotten onto the Gram this year.) There was an enjoyable boost when the blog was featured on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, though it was already doing well by then. So if there's an answer to your question, the answer is to hope that other people find your subject matter as interesting as you do. (I believe the fact that I posted daily for many years was helpful, as well.) Whatever the reasons they've found me, I remain grateful for the continued attention and engagement of the blog's audience.
Another suggestion - 1972’s BLACK RODEO, a documentary about a rodeo in Harlem. Features Woody Strode and Muhammad Ali. Directed by Jeff (NATURAL ENEMIES) Kanew. It’s available on the Criterion Channel.
