Hello!
We’ve got some exciting news for you: a great new show, and—drumroll, please—the dates for MaxFunDrive 2024!
Jordan Morris and Emily Fleming launch Free With Ads on MaxFun!
Free With Ads hosts Jordan Morris and Emily Fleming have a few things in common. For one, they’re both regulars on the hit YouTube series Good Mythical Morning; for another, they both wrote for TV’s @midnight. But, even more importantly, they’re both extremely passionate about “trashy” pop culture—and about saving a little money.
Those passions inspired their new podcast Free With Ads, a movie review show dedicated exclusively to movies that are available for free online. Why pay for streaming services when movies like Grease 2 and Dungeons and Dragons (not the Chris Pine one) can be watched for nothing more than the cost of enduring a few, loud unskippable ads?
“I love working with the folks at MaxFun. They’ve built an insanely fun and dedicated fan base who have tolerated my dumb jokes for almost twenty years. I’m so excited to bring more nonsense to the ear holes of the best podcast listeners in the world.”— Jordan Morris
“How lucky am I? Jordan and I love talking about movies and TV that repel many but thrill the hell out of us, and now I’m working with him doing exactly that! Maximum Fun is an exciting fit, full of vision and moxie between everyone involved. I hope listeners have as much fun listening as we do recording!”— Emily Fleming

It wouldn’t be MaxFunDrive without it! On Meetup Day, MaxFunsters around the world host meetups for local fans of the network. Hosting a meetup is super easy—all you’ve gotta do is find a venue that can accommodate a small group, tell us about it so we can add it to our directory, and show up during the meetup to hang out and make new friends!
