Call several genres in one api call

I'm not sure if this is possible but currently I'm looping through all the genres for a specific movie... then displaying those genre movie lists through an api call for each genre... is it possible to combine this into one api call into of several?
There are a couple reasons this would be ideal... one less api calls and second I wouldn't get duplicate movies per each separate genre since they would be coming in a single json set.
I'm hoping I explained this clear, but if not I would be more then happy to explain further.

Hi Jeff,
We do not support anything quite like this at the moment. I'm not sure we ever will, to be honest.
What I usually recommend people doing is caching the data locally and then you can query the data any which way you want and over time, you'll hit the API less and less.
