Collider is a film website and YouTube channel founded by Steve Weintraub in July 2005 and February 2007. It was purchased in January 2015 by Complex. In 2012, Weintraub was nominated for a Press Award by the International Cinematographers Guild for his work at Collider.com.
Collider focuses on entertainment news, analysis, and commentary. As of October 2016[update], Collider's YouTube channel had 300,000 subscribers and over 220,500,000 cumulative views. Extensions of the channel include Movie Talk, TV Talk, Heroes, Nightmares, Jedi Council, Movie Trivia Schmoedown, Behind the Scenes & Bloopers, and Collider News. The panels are hosted by a wide assortment of mediators including John Campea, Jon Schnepp, Kristian Harloff, Mark Ellis, Jeremy Jahns, Perri Nemiroff, Ashley Mova, Sinead De Vries, Natasha Martinez, Wendy Lee, Clarke Wolfe, Josh Macuga, Mark Reilly, Ken Napzok, Dennis Tzeng and Halleta Alemu. Collider's website staff of writers include Adam Chitwood, Senior Editors Matt Goldberg (Film) and Allison Keene (TV), Haleigh Foutch, Dave Trumbore, Brian Formo and Aubrey Page. The website is primarily news, features, sketches and criticism.
The staff has also branched out and produced content for other outlets, such as Awesometacular with Jeremy Jahns for go90.
Different members of the panel share their perspective on any given topic, including film reviews and industry news. Movie Talk is time shared with celebrity interviews. Each episode is typically an hour in length. Mondays' episode covers the weekend box office gross and speculation on future ratings. A segment called "Buy or Sell" happens around the halfway point in each episode, where the panel discusses whether they see certain topics or announcements as favorable. An additional option has begun to reoccur during "Buy or Sell" which is "Lease" (a panelist decides that the current topic is too close to call, a 50/50 if you will) in addition to the options "Buy" or "Sell". Each episode covers eight different topics in each podcast, and the show typically ends with questions from a live audience through a Twitter chatroom. Mailbag is a separate segment where the panel discusses fan mail, questions, and insight provided by viewers.
