Poly-ish Movie Reviews

Welcome to Poly-ish Movie Reviews, where I watch the crap so you don't have to! I watch a lot of movies. Some of those movies are great. But a lot of them are crap. I'm here to help you sort out which is which, so that you don't have to waste your time on bad cinema, unless that's your thing. No judgement - I like a lot of terrible movies. I'm just saying that, as we polys know, love may be infinite, but time is not. Let me help you manage that increasingly rare and precious time of yours by sharing my opinions on movies that some have claimed to be "poly" so that you can make better decisions on which ones to spend your time with.

What does "poly-ish" mean and how does a movie make it onto the "approved" list versus a movie that doesn't?  This episode will cover the entire criteria that Joreth uses to evaluate movies for poly content for all future movie review episodes, including:  What makes a movie polyamorous?  What makes it just an "open relationship"?  What's the difference between a poly movie and a poly-ish movie?  Does cheating count?  What if it's a triad?  Or a quad?  Or a documentary?  Does it have to be an open marriage?  How open and honest does it have to be to count?  And more.
