With the people on your couch
Everyone hits play together. Comments land at the second they were written, so the joke
arrives on the shot it was about.
With everyone who ever watched
The best thing anyone has ever said about minute forty-one, waiting for you at minute
forty-one.
Point your phone at the screen
Photograph your paused TV and Shush works out the film, the episode, and the exact
minute you’re at — then drops you into the conversation right there.
Captions for the quiet room
One phone listens, everyone reads. Live captions flow to whoever needs them, and nothing
is ever recorded.
And whatever’s on tonight
The match, the gig, the finale. Anything a lot of people are watching at the same time,
which is the best time to say something.
Why “Shush”
Because it’s the thing you say to someone talking through the film, and because
talking through the film is exactly what everyone wants to do. This is the version that
doesn’t ruin it for the person next to you.
The deeper point: your phone was already going to be in your hand. Shush just makes sure
what’s on it is this room, and not some other one.
