Film Therapy has existed on YouTube for a year. Yet today IMDB stole the concept and name and put Kevin Smith in it. The comments on that Tweet are hammering them for this.
Hopefully Kevin Smith will realize what IMDB did and stops doing the show.

This sucks. This type of thing is rampant across the internet though; with outlets like Gamespot taking concepts from other Youtube channels and incorporating them into their shows. Heck, TV shows do it too a lot from other shows.
The one thing that could be different here is that they use the same name.

I don't know Brianne Chandler's show, but I did a quick skim through some of her episodes and they don't really seem similar other than the name?
Film Therapy: She has a new guest on every episode and does a sort of interview / asks the guest explain to why movies are important to them
Kevin Smith show: Looks like he gives suggestions on what type of movie to watch
Maybe there are more similarities if I watch more of Film Therapy.

Not gonna lie, I remember a friend of mine coming up with an idea similar to this about 2-3 years ago and I've never heard of her YouTube until now.

Is this what we're saying was ripped off? If so, that video from March has 200 views.
The biggest similarity seems to be the name. This seems like a ManaByte case of TMZ-esque drama.

I was gonna post this same thing. Just checked her out, and yeah, if the video in OP is the actual IMDB show, it seems pretty different in execution. Title is certainly similar enough to send up warning signals, but the actual content is pretty different.

Look at the replies on the IMDB tweet. I'm not the only one calling them out about this.
And oof:
Other than the name, how are these projects similar?
Film Therapy is a YouTube interview show where Chandler talks to a single guest for 30-60 minutes, asking the same set of questions to each one.
Movie Therapy is like a 4 minute segment on the IMDB Show where Smith takes rapid-fire questions from a series of people on the street.

Oh, the calm and rational people on Twitter who never jump the conclusions? Those people?
I guess you're right.
You're trying to start something.

I'm not trying to start anything. It's ironic that he called out Variety for copying the IMDBoat at SDCC when this video show rips off another one.
And you've yet to explain how it's being ripped off.
You've been asked to stop creating stories based on Twitter drama before, Mana.
Like the time you said Clark Gregg removing "Coulson from Agents of SHIELD" from his Twitter bio was evidence that the show might be cancelled yet it turned out it was never in his bio at all.
It's a bad look. Use sources, post actual news. This Twitter stuff is teenage drama.
Whoops, guess I misread what she Brianne was trying to say.
Apparently, she does / did a thing where she suggests movies to people on twitter using the hashtag #FilmTherapy
That is a very similar to what the IMDB show looks like.

This.
The internet blindly jumps to people's defense just as it jumps to attack. I'm not so sure any of those Twitter comments are from people that actually looked at both shows beyond the titles, and I would put money on them doubling down if you try to point it out.
