Its purpose is to be a critics group that is diverse and supports underrepresented voices. The Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society goal is to have a year-round presence. The members of the LAOFCS participate in a weekly Movie Pick of the Week as well as a themed monthly project for the Daily Critic Pick. In addition, the organization has a weekly show on the Popcorn Talk Network called LAOFCS Weekly where different members of the organization discuss various new and older films as well as things currently being talked about in the film world.
