Why spinning beats scrolling
Most streaming nights lose 20 minutes to browsing. A wheel narrows the choice to one category in seconds, and a random pick often lands on films you’d never have chosen but end up loving.
For dinner before the movie, spin the food wheel. Planning the whole evening? Try the date night wheel.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put specific movies on the wheel?
Yes. Clear the genres and paste in your watchlist, one title per line. Then spin to pick tonight's movie.
How do we choose a movie as a group?
Let each person add two or three movies they would be happy to watch, then spin once. Agree beforehand that the wheel's choice is final.
Can I save my watchlist wheel?
The wheel remembers your list in this browser. Press "Share link" to save it as a link or send it to whoever you are watching with.
