Find what to watch tonight — for couples who can't agree
Deciding what to watch as a couple shouldn't be a negotiation. Matinee helps couples find movies and shows they'll both enjoy using shared taste profiles and friend recommendations.
Why deciding is harder than it should be
Finding something both of you want to watch is one of the most common evening frustrations. One person wants a thriller, the other wants a comedy — and you spend 30 minutes browsing before giving up. Matinee's approach: build a shared watchlist, see overlapping taste profiles, and let the optimizer surface titles you both actually want to see.
Who this is for
Couples who spend more time deciding what to watch than actually watching, or who can never agree on a genre.
How Matinee helps
Matinee lets two people follow each other, see what's on each other's watchlist, and identify titles they both want to see — making the choice much faster than guessing.
