Movie Reelist is thrilled to present Chatting During the Movie!

Greetings friend! On behalf of the creators here at Movie Reelist, we sincerely hope you're in good health and good spirit during your home quarantine. This is a tough time in our history and we thank you for visiting our small corner of the internet.

Social distancing does not have to be lonely. We love movies, and if you're reading this, so do you. But it's not just about what's happening on a jumbo 50-foot screen that we enjoy. There's also the social aspect. Whether it be gripping the arm of our partner during a gruesome murder scene or laughing with the entire theater crowd in an intensely humorous dialogue exchange, we love watching movies together. The Coronavirus pandemic is doing its best to take that away from us.

Not on our watch!

What if we could watch movies from the comfort of our own home and discuss (yes, we're breaking all the rules!) the movie in reel-time and in-sync with the feature?! We can you guys!

WHAT:
"Chatting During the Movie" attempts to bridge the community aspect of the movie-going experience with home quarantine protocol by creating a managed chatroom and synchronized content presentation for all attendees. TL;DR: we are throwing a Netflix party!
