Why 20 beats 10 for a full evening
Ten titles often run out halfway through the night. Twenty keeps momentum for two rotations and gives you room to skip anything the actor cannot sell in the first five seconds.
How to rotate genres
Alternate animation, drama, action and comedy so the same actor does not land four slapstick titles in a row. Mixed genres keep guessers engaged.
Switch to Showem when you burn through the list
Showem is a free install and keeps generating movie prompts so you do not rerun titles the same group just acted out.
