Name one thing you liked and get films, books, music and games like it.
Enter a film, band, book, show, game or podcast and it returns a grid of related things across all of those categories at once, each with a one-line explanation of why. The cross-media jump is the useful part — it will answer 'I loved this novel, what should I watch'. It has been running since 2008 and works without signing in.
Questions
