As any reader of this site knows, being fluent in pop culture has its own rewards. But those Type A sorts among you will be excited to hear that Entertainment Weekly has partnered with GetGlue to actually reward you for checking out the recommendations in our weekly Must List.
Never heard of GetGlue? It’s like Foursquare, but instead of earning badges for checking into physical locations like restaurants and bars (and — admit it — your cubicle at work), you earn stickers for checking into movies, TV shows, books, games, magazines, and apps. After you’ve earned a handful of virtual stickers, GetGlue mails you the real thing. You can earn your first sticker for checking into Entertainment Weekly magazine, then work your way through our Must List picks, earning three more stickers (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) the more you check in over subsequent weeks.
Ready to get started? Download the appropriate GetGlue app then download our free Must List app for iPhone or iPad. (Don’t have a smart phone/tablet? That’s okay, you can still play along. You can check out the Must List online and check into our picks on GetGlue’s website.)
too much work…can you just send me free stuff?
Exactly what I was thinking. Last time I collected stickers (real ones, btw) I was in 4th grade.
not difficult at all – free things require research and a little effort! earning is fun
I agree with Red Feather. Besides, it’s fun. If it’s not your thing, don’t sweat it. Personally, I’m addicted to GetGlue & came to see what was on the EW’s Must List.
sounds “pretty cool”
just downloaded get glue!
all we get is stickers? huh?
That is weird. Why do I want EW stickers?
You don’t, and neither do I.
you dont just get EW stickers… they are stickers for all sorts of things like bands and movies and tv shows and stuff
Sounds pathetic.
Max Braverman will be very excited about this.
+1 point for the “Parenthood” joke!
I’m thorougly enjoying imagining the meltdown he’d have if he were to get shortchanged on these stickers.
Loved your answer, Crispy! (Love Parenthood!)
I used Get Glue several months ago. I got some stickers in the mail. You have to get a certain amount of badges before they will send you the stickers. I just watch too much TV so I eventually starting slacking on checking in. But I might get back into the habit.
I use getglue, but nothing turned up when you search “must list”.
That’s because you have to check into something that’s ON the Must List, like a TV show, Book, etc.
Can’t find your “must list” on getglue. Seems like a waste of time. What do I need stickers for?
Seriously? What in the hell am I going to do with EW stickers…I would think that most readers of EW have since outgrown the need to play with stickers….
Are any of the stickers scratch and sniff? I’ll play along if they are scratch and sniff…
No Must-List app for androids?
You get stickers? Really? Stickers??
Pass.
Stickers? What am I supposed to with with EW Stickers!? What person over the age of 10 cares about stickers?
I don’t know what is more idiotic: collecting the stickers or the fact that the whole thing is technology driven but then they MAIL you the stickers. For your trapper keeper I guess.
Stickers? Seriously? I don’t think you can count getting a sticker as “earning” something. We joke about giving each other gold stars at work, but we don’t actually give each other stickers. That’s a bit 1st grade…
