Tonight's film, in a minute

What are we watching?

POPSESH deals films you'll actually press play on, from your taste, your evening, your mood. Watching with someone? The first mutual yes decides.

Swipe right when it's a yes

Three invented films. The real deck is built from yours.

New: the Plus-One

Your partner doesn't need the app

Start the session, send the link. It opens in whatever they're holding, and they swipe your deck from that tab. One of you needs the app. The other one needs a browser.

  • The link is the whole setup

    They tap it, name three films they love, and they're swiping. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for.

  • Any phone will do

    iPhone, Android, or the laptop already open on the table. If it has a browser, it has a seat.

  • One deck, both of you

    Their swipes land in the same deck as yours. The first film you both say yes to is the one you're watching.

Three taps to say what you love, then you both swipe one deck.

Play in your browser

No app, no account. This tab is your seat.

Three gestures

The deck learns you

No questionnaires. Three posters you actually loved, that is the whole interview, and the deck keeps learning with every swipe.

  • Swipe right

    Loved it. The deck remembers what grabs you: genre, pace, mood.

  • Swipe left

    Not for you. One flick and films like that stop taking up space in the deck.

  • Swipe down

    Haven't seen it. It steps aside and comes back in two weeks. Honest answers deal sharper decks.

The party trick

Match: the first mutual yes wins

Instead of "I don't know, just put something on": one shared deck for two. You each swipe on your own screen, phone or browser, and the match finds you. Nobody can decide? The house picks.

  1. One of you starts a session

    A six-letter code, a QR square and a link to send. Same couch or same city, one of the three fits.

  2. The other one joins

    Scan the square, type the code, or tap the link and take their seat in the browser.

  3. A shared deck

    One deck built where two tastes overlap, dealt to both screens at once.

  4. It's a match

    You both swiped right, the screen lights up. Debate over, trailer ready.

Before you press play

The deck knows how long you've got

One sitting, the main event, or a pilot night, plus the mood you're in. Only what actually fits tonight makes it into the deck.

  • One sitting

    A film, and time left after it.

  • The main event

    Two hours or more. Tonight is the film.

  • Pilot night

    One episode, more if it lands.

  • Mood

    From “Cry it out” to “Off this planet”.

Let's roll.

The answer is five swipes away, and the beta is open tonight.
