Behind the name

A long movie.
A very familiar question.

It started as an ongoing gag: would Matt need to use the restroom before the movie was over? The longer the film, the more that question became part of the fun.

Eventually, the joke earned a name of its own. Now we bring the Bathroomometer into every episode—a little piece of the recording-room conversation that follows us from one movie to the next.

Where would your next movie night land on the dial?

Three stops on the Bathroomometer.

  1. Perfect Length

  2. Might Need To Go

  3. Bathroom Emergency

From a running joke

Will Matt make it to the credits?

A movie’s runtime gave us a question we kept coming back to. That shared joke became part of the personality of Picture This.

To an episode tradition

There’s always room for a laugh.

We add the Bathroomometer to every episode. Watch the discussion, hear everyone’s perspective, and decide where you would put the needle.
