Episode 110: The City of Your Final Destination 1:18:51

9d ago1:18:51

1:18:51

In this meandering gondola boat ride of a Tubi or Not Tubi episode, we repeatedly politely ask permission to gently view the 2009 film, The City of Your Final Destination, directed by James Ivory and starring Anthony Hopkins, Laura Linney, and Hiroyuki Sanada. "Drama-Kinda-Romances where an introvert goes to some random country and asks politley fo…

1:12:51

CW: Domestic Abuse and its verbal, physical, and sexual horrors. In this harrowing, communal episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we finally unearth the passion project that is the 2023 film, If I Can't. This was written by, directed by, and starring Mena Monroe. If one recalls a certain pleasurable interview we secured last year with one Briyan Keith Mont…

Episode 108: Paradise 1:03:15

1M ago1:03:15

1:03:15

In this genre-bending, gun-toting episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we put on our suburban spurs and bring our shotguns to the 2024 Tubi Original film, Paradise, directed by Max Isaacson and starring Patricia Allison. The "Tubi Original" has, in a way, become a unique incubator for experimentation in film. (Except when it's not, but it often is!) One mu…

Episode 107: Andover 1:20:44

2M ago1:20:44

1:20:44

In this repetitive, synthetical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we enter a unique kind of Clone Saga in the 2017 film, Andover, written and directed by Scott Perlman. If a loved one of yours died, would you steal their hair and clone them and try to raise them to be your lover again? Yeah neither would I but the plot of this film seems to have no rega…

As we chat with director James Ward Byrkit, co-writer Alex Manugian, and actress Lauren Maher, we get deep in the weeds of how Coherence came to be... But much…

1:14:54

Another year has passed by... and goodness what a turbulent and topsy-turvy year it was! We've met so many cool people who did so much cool work! We also survived a dog plague and messed around in the mushroom cave and pulled a weird cocoon out of the ground so there's that. Join us as we review and rank this year's experiences.…

Episode 104: Santa and the Fairy Snow Queen 1:05:43

3M ago1:05:43

1:05:43

In this fantastical, child-like episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we prematurely turn on the Mariah Carey as we sled our way into 1951 film, Santa and the Fairy Snow Queen, directed by Sid Davis. 25 minutes is both an eternity amount of cringe and has to be technologically sound because pestering is not working. Tubi may or may not do that. We'll see...…

Episode 102: The Boy Who Loved Trolls 1:44:54

4M ago1:44:54

1:44:54

In this public service of an afterschool special of a Tubi or Not Tubi episode, we question the meaning of innocence in the 1984 film, The Boy Who Loved Trolls, directed by Harvey S. Laidman and starring William H. Macy and Sam Waterson. Tubi has a wealth of content intended for children. But when it's PBS, you know some form of subliminal attack i…

Episode 101: I Am ZoZo 1:44:40

5M ago1:44:40

1:44:40

In this incomprehensibly strange happening of a Tubi or Not Tubi episode, we take out our cute little ouija board and spell out the title of the 2012 film, I Am ZoZo, written and directed by Scott Di Lalla. Movies that involve ouija boards are a dime a dozen, and that meaning is probably literal. But this one was shot on a super 8. Will it help? Ca…

Episode 100: Don't Blink 1:57:28

5M ago1:57:28

1:57:28

In this wild and wonderful hundredth episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we celebrate our viewing habits with our eyes wide open in the 2014 film, Don't Blink, written and directed by Travis Oates. Yes, it is a momentous occasion indeed, and when Tubi provides us with a title like Don't Blink, we see it as a challenge not to look away... Happy 100!…

Episode 98: The Plague Dogs 1:10:55

6M ago1:10:55

1:10:55

CW: Very bad science conducted on very good animals. In this forlorn, dutiful episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we come face-to-face with an utterly scathing commentary on the scientific torture and exploitation of animals in the 1982 film, written and directed by Martin Rosen and starring John Hurt. If Tubi's got one thing, it's range, and within that …

Episode 97: Orbs: They Are Among Us 1:40:14

7M ago1:40:14

1:40:14

In this circular, cosmic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we somehow take to the stars in the 2013 film, Orbs: They Are Among Us, written and directed by Jesse H. Knight. There have been many fascinating iterations of alien life as depicted by Tubi, but never have we seen it as orbs. What even are orbs? Why are they so spherical? Are they among us? The…

Episode 96: Emily and the Magical Journey 1:12:31

7M ago1:12:31

1:12:31

In this wonderfully whimsical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we are whisked away towards the 2020 film, Emily and the Magical Journey, directed by Marcus Ovnell. The fantasy children's film economy on Tubi seems to be overrun with fascinating entries from European countries, and regardless of their general unusuality, they are almost always a visual …

Episode 95: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T 1:22:34

8M ago1:22:34

1:22:34

In this fanciful, childish episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we find ourselves witnesses to the 1953 film, The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, directed by Roy Rowland and written by Dr. Seuss. The ethos of the Tubi musical is a complex tapestry that only becomes even more complex when we throw the ever-amusing mind of Dr. Seuss into the brew. I mean, what could…

Episode 94: Merlin and the Book of Beasts 1:08:53

8M ago1:08:53

1:08:53

In this moss-covered relic of a Tubi or Not Tubi Episode, we endeavor to save Camelot in the 2009 film, Merlin and the Book of Beasts, directed by Warren P. Sonoda. There are many mythical things that happen in Arthurian legend, and Tubi has the power to absolutley distort what is already distorted to the point of no return. Fortunately, we intend …

Episode 93: Ayla 1:58:21

1:58:21

In this mystic, sap-covered episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we travel bizarrely long distances in a vehicle towards the 2017 film, Ayla, written and directed by Elias and starring Dee Wallace. This second paragraph is the part where we adequately allude to what Tubi has assigned us to experience. This time, somehow, the words have seemed to escape, an…

Episode 92: Just 4 Kicks 1:18:31

9M ago1:18:31

1:18:31

In this sporty, CapriSun-fueled epsiode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we once again pay our audience toll to Sprouse twins in the 2003 film, Just 4 Kicks, directed by Sydney J. Bartholomew Jr. This podcast has something of a relationship with the Sprouses that has taken us to some strange varandas. When it comes to the little leage soccer comedy cinematic u…

Episode 91: Mary Magdalene 2:00:27

10M ago2:00:27

2:00:27

In this ancient, reverential episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we warily visit a Biblical past in the 2019 film, Mary Magdalene, directed by Garth Davis and starring Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Tubi has quite a plethora of content related to the religion popularly known as Christianity, but what happens when Tubi houses a bible s…

Episode 88: The Other Side of Darkness 1:13:40

1:13:40

In this, ominously wanderlust episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we get in our Jeep and travel to The Other Side of Darkness, the 2022 film, written and directed by Adam Deierling. Tubi has shown us the other side of many things, and we know this app is quite comfortable in the darkness. It is only natural to ask: what is on the other side... Tubi's othe…

Episode 86: Dogged 1:24:30

12M ago1:24:30

1:24:30

In this local, saucy episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we encounter some supremely suspicious islanders in the 2017 film, Dogged, directed by Richard Rowntree. Tubi seems to be asking a very serious question: what happens when the Banshees of Inisherin are your dad? And it's Christmas? And a girl you do or don't know died, I think? Are these answerable?…

In this nice, informative Day-After-Halloween Special of Tubi or Not Tubi, we take a casual documentarian stroll in the 2020 film, Werewolves, directed by Evan Tramel.
