ChatGPT works well when the marathon plan needs to be turned into a shareable recommendation for a group. Run `blend_taste`, then ask ChatGPT to write a short pitch for each film in the lineup.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Similar Movies tool:

  1. Tell ChatGPT the anchor films and any theme for the marathon night.
  2. Run `similar-movies.blend_taste` to get the candidate shortlist.
  3. Ask ChatGPT to order the results and write a one-line pitch for each film.
  4. Share the final plan with co-watchers.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Similar Movies tool
Use similar-movies to blend Heat, Collateral, and Drive into a marathon lineup. Sequence the results by pacing and write a one-sentence pitch for each film.

Tips

  • Ask ChatGPT to pitch each film so co-watchers can vote on the order.
  • Use the blend to find films that hold up as a coherent set rather than just individual good picks.
  • Exclude films already watched to keep the shortlist fresh.
