Time to Die" (It's old, and I didn't remember the title, but I found it pretty easily).

It's like the recommendations from social media sites "People you bought this also enjoy this other thing".

A fellow who worked with Gavin bonded with Janet and I over "Doctor Who". He could not understand why we weren't interested in "Game of Thrones".
