The problem is the catalog is functionally infinite.

It narrows down significantly by region, for restaurants, and by time frame, for events.

Movies as a bit trickier, but you can ballpark that by genre and maybe "new releases" / "" / "criterion collection"

If you've got a big enough pool, you'll get plenty of crossover. "You just matched with a person who wants to go to a Knicks game, watch a horror movie, and dine out at Sopo Korean Eats" is going to get plenty of hits in Manhattan.

I thought we are just matching with a spouse or sig other on what to watch next?

Ah, I thought it was a dating thing

It probably works either way, but I want the local version.

My wife and I read like 4 baby name lists out loud in the car for our second kid but had much better luck with an app we found that had like 4k names, each person reads and swipes, and it shows you the ones you agree on.

Maybe it's a hammer and nail thing but it sounds good to me for choosing the shared "to watch" list.
