\"good<\/p>\n

You know how when you’re watching TV and you can’t quite recognize that actor who looks familiar, or you don’t understand what just happened, or a character mumbles something and you didn’t catch it?<\/p>\n

So you ask you husband, “Who’s that guy again?” or “Why are they doing that?!” or “What did she say?”<\/p>\n

And your husband gets mad because he’s trying to watch the fucking show and you keep interrupting? And instead of answering a simple plot question, he says “WHY DON”T YOU WATCH AND FIND OUT?”<\/p>\n

It occurred to me that we need an app for this. If we had an app, we could get the answers to our questions without irritating our husbands and being subjected to their condescending sighs.<\/p>\n

The app will be programmed with a database of every movie and tv series in existence and you will just type in the title. Then, you can get the cast, as well as plot points and dialogue, by scene.<\/p>\n

Plus, you can do this silently or choose an audio answer in a friendly male voice.<\/p>\n

HOW FUCKING HARD WOULD THIS BE, PROGRAMMERS?<\/p>\n

Women I’ve talked to about this all share my shame and frustration at needing help just to watch TV, but that’s what it’s come to.<\/p>\n

I hate mansplaining<\/a> as much as the next person, more even, but where does the mansplaining impulse go when you actually need it, eh?<\/p>\n

Let’s get the app. First, we need a name for it.<\/p>\n

Thoughts?<\/p>\n
