How are you planning on celebrating annual gal pal day Galentine's Day this year? We have an idea for you: how about a virtual movie marathon alongside your very best friends? You'll even get to pocket $2,000 in cash.

That's right: Satellite TV company Dish Network is honoring the day—which is typically celebrated on February 13—by offering a lucky someone the chance to land a "dream job" that will only really involve watching films. 

Here are the job requirements: host a Galentine's Day streaming party via Zoom or Google Hangouts before the end of February. In total, you and friends will have to watch at least "three sappy, heartfelt, cheesy-but-you-know-you-love-it movies about friendship." After the marathon, you'll have to fill out a questionnaire about the experience and post a video on YouTube or Vimeo about the happening. 

After that, sit back, relax and enjoy the prizes. In addition to the $2,000, you'll get your hands on some Galentine's Day swag (blankets! Popcorn! Candy!), streaming access for each of the three selected movies and meal vouchers for you and your friends from the likes of UberEats and DoorDash. 

Here are some of the movies to choose from: 

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

Fried Green Tomatoes

Bridesmaids

Mean Girls

The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Sex and the City

Girls Trip

Bride Wars

Something Borrowed

Pitch Perfect

Legally Blonde

Miss Congeniality

How to Be Single

Clueless

No, this is not a drill. You've got until February 26 at 2pm EST to apply for the gig right here. Have you made your movie selection yet?
