In the newly updated RunPee app you can search for movies by genres. And not just the regular old Action, Adventure, Comedy type genres, but also Robot/AI, Young Adult, Time Travel, and many more.
To search movies by genre, tap on the By Title option at the top of the screen — it will display a toggle to switch to Genre Searching.
The World's Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to run & pee during a movie so you don't miss the best scenes.
Read more about the RunPee app.
From there you can select the genre, or genres, that you want to see. If you select multiple genres, for instance Adventure and Comedy, then by default it will show movies that have both of those genres.
Or you can use the +/- buttons to make it an either/or search.
We have all of the common genres that IMDb and other movie database sites have:
| Action Adventure Animation Biography Comedy Crime Documentary Drama |
Musical Family Fantasy Film-Noir History Horror Music |
Mystery Romance Sci-Fi Sport Thriller War Western |
But we didn’t stop there. We added our own genres as well:
| Superhero Dystopia Caper/Heist Disaster Religious Supernatural Zombie Remake Reboot Sequel Prequel |
True Story MCU DC Star Wars Harry Potter Awards & Festivals Tear Jerker Bond 007 Star Trek LOTR Groundhog Loop |
Pixar Disney Time Travel Spy African American Faves Indie Aliens Young Adult Kaiju Robot/AI |
Sure, some of these might be a little redundant. Like I’m not sure myself what the difference is between a Remake and a Reboot. But if you’re in the mood to see a Time Travel + Comedy movie, then we got your back. 🙂
We’re also gradually working through adding all of the Bond films to the database, along with other series like Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, and lots of others, in time.
We're adding new genres to the RunPee database. I'm curious to hear what your opinion is on this crucial question:
Are Dinosaurs Kaiju?

Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including Ant-Man: Quantumania, Creed III, Scream VI, and coming soon John Wick IV. We have literally thousands of Peetimes—from classic movies through today's blockbusters. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog, or by following us on Twitter @RunPee. If there's a new film out there, we've got your bladder covered.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.

I love genre splicing!
On Remake vs Reboot. A Remake is when an old movie is dusted off and remade to adapt to more modern sensibilities. Like how West Side Story is a fairly faithful remake of Romeo & Juliet.
A Reboot is when you make large changes to the concept and universe. Gender flips like in Battlestar Galactica or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/The Hustle. Entirely new timelines/relationships/personalities like in JJ’s Star Trek. (Which is technically a ‘soft reboot’ since the original timeline is actually a plot point between Spock and Spock.)
A Reimaging is just something Ron Moore made up, I think, because I don’t think the term reboot was used so much then, at least as applied to movies.
So a remake can be also rebooted…and a reboot is a form of remake. But a simple remake is intended to be faithful to the original telling.
Clear as mud!

That makes sense. Thanks.
