Blue Bayou bug

The new movie "Blue Bayou" gets matched with "Black Widow". Not request for matching, just the only choice.
I love Filebot but this is getting frustrating. Why would "blue bayou" match to "black widow" and not give the option to select the correct option. This is the third time I've run into similar problems were using filebot is more cumbersome than manually typing out the correct information which is the entire point of filebot.

1.
If you don't select anything, and press
Skip instead, then FileBot will ask you to enter the search query or numeric ID. You can force this behaviour by holding the SHIFT modifier. Please read
FAQ #2 for details.

Alternatively, you can always just select something and then use
Edit Match to fix things later:

that's not helpful. It automatically selects the wrong match without any dialog boxes.

If the series / movie is not auto-detected correctly, then you can
SHIFT-CLICK 
the database to force manual input and selection of the series or movie.
If you use
SHIFT-CLICK TheMovieDB and then enter
644089 you will most assuredly get the correct movie.

You can manually fix an individual match via
Double-Click ➔
Edit Match.
If you click
Edit Match and then enter
644089 you will most assuredly get the correct movie.

You can probably use
"Blue Bayour 2021" as search query instead of
644089 for convenience. The latter is just there as a fail-safe if all else fails.

Please read
FAQ #2 for details. It's really helpful. It thoroughly answers your question in the first and second sentence.
