Simple & effective
How Recon works
We do the research so you don't have to. Three simple steps to better movie nights.
Step 01
We curate
Every week, we scan what's streaming across Netflix, Prime Video, Max, Apple TV+ and more, then cross-reference IMDb ratings to surface hidden gems and critically acclaimed films you might have missed.
Step 02
You receive
Every Friday, a beautifully designed email lands in your inbox with our top picks — each with IMDb ratings, trailers, and a direct link to wherever it's streaming.
Step 03
You watch
Open the app it's on, hit play, and enjoy a movie you know is worth your time. No more scrolling across a dozen services wondering what to watch.
