Fighting Over the Remote
Have you and your partner ever scrolled for hours on Netflix, not able to agree on what to watch? You're not alone. We're a couple with vastly different tastes in movies and TV, and we've come up with a solution and we're here to share our findings. Every week one of us has total control of the remote and gets to pick what to watch, and there's no getting out of it. After we watch the movie or show, we have an in depth discussion before getting into categories, awards, and finally, whether or not we would recommend this one for couples with different tastes.
