  • We Have WORM SIGN!
    It’s probably not a shocker that February is generally a slow month for movies. Every few years we get a Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, or Deadpool movie in February, but those are the exceptions. This year (2024), February had some lackluster movies, to say the least. Movies like Drive-Away Dolls, …
  • Meet the RunPee Family
    I get a few user support emails each week and it’s always amusing to me to discover that many people think that RunPee is a company. And that’s not really the case at all. We’re a family and a pretty small one at that. Maybe a few people out there would …

  • My New Day Job

  • What are the hardest movies to find Peetimes for?
    One of the most common questions I’m asked is, “What was the hardest movie to find Peetimes for?” When I get to the #1 answer—below—I’m sure you’ll say to yourself, “Yeah, that makes sense.” (Are you trying to guess the answer now? Remember, RunPee launched in 2008, so it’s a …
  • RunFREE: no more Peecoins
    From day one, trying to figure out how best to monetize the RunPee app has been the biggest challenge. For better or for worse, I think the challenge is pretty much over. Sink or swim; I have crossed the Rubicon. After this, I don’t think there’s much I can do …
  • Looking for a WordPress Master
    In case you haven’t noticed, this blog needs some TLC. I was searching for help managing this WordPress blog on Fiverr but I thought it would be better to consult the RunPee community and see if there’s anyone out there who can help. If possible, I’d like to keep it …

  • What is the perfect time to run and pee during a movie?
    Your bladders have spoken, and we were listening. Infinity Peecoin owners, who were using the RunPee Timer, were given the option record when they finished using a Peetime. Basically, there was a button on the Synopsis Screen that said, “When you’re back in your seat please press to record how …

  • Spider-Man Peeple’s Poll results over time
    Spider-Man: No Way Home is, as of writing, the most popular movie ever in our Peeple’s Poll (92.6)—just barely squeaking past Avengers: Endgame (92.2).

  • How I Became An Independent Film Reviewer
      So… the whole world was gripped by the pandemic and, due to medical reasons, I’m identified as “someone thought to be clinically extremely vulnerable and at highest risk of becoming very unwell if you catch COVID-19,” and, as a result, I was, essentially, housebound. I’d gone from going out every day …

  • I wrote a book > Entrepreneurship: captain of your ideas
    I wrote Entrepreneurship: captain of your ideas (free to download on Kindle) about my experiences creating and managing the RunPee business.  If you didn’t already know, I’m a software developer by trade.

  • It’s A Wonderful Christmas – How RunPee Rob takes in the holiday season
    We’re primarily a film based site and, sure enough, most of the articles here are related to films; new films, old favourites, comparisons of remakes, looking back and reappraising, and general opinion pieces.
