    This chart confuses me. First off the lines for each movie are weirdly high. Second, the color gradient is clearly to make this look pretty instead of readable. Third reality TV and talk show having low movie counts makes sense but 3 movies that are “game show” movies? Just off the top of my head Slumdog Millionaire, The Luckiest Man in America, The Running Man, Death Race, and Gamer are all game show movies. So I’m not sure how they’re sorting this. I also probably wouldn’t include any genres that don’t have enough movies to make sure you have a good sample

      The Running Man, Death Race, and Gamer are likely under sci fi.

      Whatever three are in Game Shows would probably fit right into Drama.

        The image specifically says movies with multiple genres will show up in every distribution it’s tagged in.

        Quick check in imdb does show none of the named ones have the “Game Show” genre listed. But under game show imdb has 16 things I’ve never heard of. I dunno. The days the graph is based off of seems weird
