I'm a newbie using this useful API, so this is probably a newbie question: what's the difference between two GET into this post's subject?
I know that with "discover" I can change the "sort_by" property, but I think that the responses of these specific two calls are always the same. It's right?
Tks, Alessio.

Hi Alessio,
You can think of
/movie/popularas just a discover query. There is no difference. Discover however is quite different as not only does it support a whole slew of sort options but also many, many filters.Cheers.
