Method

  1. Tell the agent which services you pay for once; ask where a title streams without a new rental.

  2. For long movies, ask for a natural pause point (a scene change, not a cliffhanger) with a timestamp.

  3. Add anything someone mentions to one shared watchlist, with a line on why and who it is for.

  4. When browsing a catalog, ask for the actors you would recognize and where you know them from.
