The Agony Booth started out with a few fairly long, infrequently published recap-plus-snark treatments of fairly obscure, terrible movies, with a handful of screencaps per page, written mostly written by the site creator. As the site gained a cult following it developed an expanding stable of writers and a broader portfolio of subjects, covering everything from notoriously bad B-movies to flopped blockbusters to offbeat television series like Mister T, with an increasing emphasis on more involved, humorously detailed critiques of every scene, multi-author recaps, and clever captions for the more frequent screencaps. Then, seeking a more mainstream audience, around 2010 it evolved again, deemphasizing the long text recaps in favor of video recaps and essays, usually in the form of ongoing, named segments from recurring contributors.
