What is What to Watch Wheel?
Scrolling for 40 minutes and watching nothing? Spin the What to Watch Wheel. Round one picks the genre. Round two: type in three to eight titles you have been meaning to watch, spin, and press play on whatever wins — no vetoes.
It works for movie night with friends, date night, and family film Fridays where nobody agrees. Add "rewatch a classic" as a segment for extra chaos.

What to Watch Wheel FAQ
Can I add specific movies?
Yes. Replace the genres with your own shortlist of titles and spin again.
Is What to Watch Wheel really random?
Yes. The winning segment is chosen with the browser's cryptographically secure random generator before the animation plays, so the spin cannot be influenced by timing or by how hard you "spin".
How many entries can I add?
Up to 100 entries on one wheel. For large lists the segments get thin, so for 50+ names consider the Random Name Picker instead.
Can I share my wheel?
Yes — Share creates a link that pre-fills your entries so friends open the same wheel.
