While we are expected to go on a lengthy corporate about us blah-athon, that restrictive format doesn’t accurately fit the essence of Cult Status itself. Our exciting startup is a love song to pop culture, an homage to the most badass work to ever come out of Hollywood. Cult Status curates the most notable moments and personalities in film, television, music, pop culture, and social media. We are the ultimate pop culture anthology.
Cult Status is the voice of the binge generation. Our mission is to help you find your next movie or series to make the best of your time at home and help you mentally escape into another world.
Cult Status is here to finally make sense of the endless entertainment options. There is far too much content to keep up. We will help you sift through the chaos with our ultimate binge-watching hacks. We will direct you to the shows and movies you love (or haven’t seen yet). We make finding your next film or show simple and straightforward. Our job is to provide recommendations to help you get into your next series or movie with ease.
We built this site with love and care, our goal being to create a visual environment both our readers and subjects deserve. We introduce you to a new generation of artistry while paying homage to the legendary work that came before. We embrace the quirky, the offbeat, the original, the fresh, the old, and the new. We introduce you to the new generation while paying respect to legendary work that is still loved today.
Cult Status breaks down and recommends the best content across EVERY streaming platform available, carefully curating your next binge bender done right. You can jump into your next show or movie without having to do the dreaded Netflix shuffle. Or Hulu shuffle. Or Apple TV shuffle. Or YouTube shuffle. We can go on all day.
We are here simply because we are superfans, plain and simple. We geek out over our favorite artists, shows, movies, music, websites, magazines, and books… just like you. We are bingers. We respect the craft and appreciate the creativity. We recognize that the showrunners, directors, writers, actors, producers, editors, and all production staff are essential to the successful outcome of a project.
What makes something achieve Cult Status? Not box office returns. It is the fans who determine which art is cultworthy. A movie might bomb at the box office – only to eventually find a home with a loyal fanbase. Series can be canceled prematurely, only to stage a massive comeback in the digital era (shoutout to Arrested Development!) Some blockbuster hits have faded into obscurity, while some obscure pictures found their fanbase.
Staying relevant over time requires that the work strike a lingering cord with the audience. Cult Status is driven by and for pop culture fans and serves as a tribute to the work that has shaped our collective creative experience.
You will notice that we do not adhere to any rating system here at Cult Status – it is not about that for us. We don’t give a number value to a piece of art- we’re here to celebrate it. We organize our content by alphabetizing and/or release date.
Bottom Line: Cult Status is here for fun. We are here to escape. When the world gets too hard, we will help you lose yourself in another one. We geek out over our favorite artists, series, movies, and music. We LOVE pop culture. We are nerds and proud of it! Enjoy!
