Anyone hear about the review position?
Just curious, was wondering if there has been a decision made regarding the DVD Talk reviewer's position...

Well, the last time a review position opened up, there was never any announcement posted on the formum about when the new reviewer was chosen. I found out because I got picked 
and Geoff sent me an email. I don't know if that's typical or not; you might want to drop him an email to check up on your application. Good luck!

We got over 50 applications for the postion. And I have sifted through most of them.
Right now I've selected 1 reviewer who I sent an acceptance e-mail to and he has agreed to come aboard!
- Jason Bovberg who submitted 2 extremely impressive reviews/
There are 2 other people who I'm trying to decide between, and both of them I like enough that I am contiplating accepting them both.
If you sent an e-mail about the open position I WILL be sending you a response. There are some of you who are 'runner ups' so I don't want to tell you that you didn't make it, should one of the other people not decided to join us

Hey, welcome aboard, Jason! I really enjoy being a DVDTalk reviewer, and I'm sure you will too!
(And hey, I got my first fan email today! )
Geoff: Any chance of having a link on the review page that leads to a (clickable) list of all the DVDTalk reviewers? I know you can click on the name of the reviewer in the review to get more info on that person, but I think it would also be neat to be able to see who the current review staff is at a glance, too.

In all seriousness folks, we have a winner here. Jason Cow Town is the best damn DVD/movie reviewer this side of the equator. He's like a well educated film historian with a dash of Homer Simpson added for flavor. Everyone will be better off after reading his reviews. I'm glad he's on board.
