Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 98: The Plague DogsCW: 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 range are the kinds of old-school animated films crafted specifically to make necessary statements. You know, the kind that end up scaring the children because they're meant for the adults. It's scary territory indeed, but we are d...2023-12-121h 10Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 97: Orbs: They Are Among UsIn 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? These are important questions to contemplate.2023-11-291h 40Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 96: Emily and the Magical JourneyIn 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 sight to behold in some way... Will Emily's magical journey provide this same fantasy effectively? We shall see!2023-11-151h 12Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 95: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. TIn 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 possibly happen? 5,000 fingers is a lot of fingers!2023-11-021h 22Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 94: Merlin and the Book of BeastsIn 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 to dive into this Arthurian Tubi... but will it distort us?2023-10-181h 08Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 93: AylaIn 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, and, like Ayla, placing them together is a puzzle in itself.2023-10-041h 58Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 92: Just 4 KicksIn 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 universe, one can be sure Tubi's offerings have an unusual flavor to them...2023-09-201h 18Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 91: Mary MagdaleneIn 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 story that was given many millions of dollars in an alleged attempt to reflect the time and place? Let's find out...2023-09-062h 00Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 90: An Enchanting Afternoon w/ Bryian Keith Montgomery Jr. The Ingenious!In this super special episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we secured time to interview Bryian Keith Montgomery Jr. the writer/director of Cinnamon himself!  My goodness, there is so much to discuss surrounding this lovely film: the inspired directorial choices! The captivating performances! The music! The sign language! The pizza shop! Tubi's place in the grand cinematic media landscape as an art provider! We've got something powerful here, and fun! You don't wanna miss it.2023-08-221h 05Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 89: Wonderfuly Well-Traveled Wanderlust w/ Adam Deierling the Amiable and Vinny Sisson the Visionary!This week, we conduct an in-depth interview with the makers of The Other Side of Darkness! We are joined by writer/director Adam Deierling and producer Vinny Sisson in getting to the nitty gritty behind the process of making this film. How does one cast a film in the midst of a pandemic? What were the circumstances behind locating the lush landscapes of the American woods? Why Jeeps? All these pertinent questions: answered here!2023-08-081h 00Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 88: The Other Side of DarknessIn 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 other other other side? Does Tubi even sides? Is it a sphere?2023-07-261h 13Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 87: CinnamonIn this exciting, rambunctious episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we have an extra special treat! We noticed that a certain film has been making fascinating waves and for good reason... Yes, we're reviewing the 2023 Tubi Original, Cinnamon, written and directed by Bryian Keith Mongomery Jr. This inspired film also stars Pam Grier and Damon Wayans. We know Tubi is a vast land of many treasures, but is it also destined tubi an incubator for excellent creativity? Let's find out!2023-07-121h 15Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 86: DoggedIn 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? We must find out.2023-06-281h 24Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 85: Josh Kirby... Time Warrior! Chapter 5: Journey to the Magic CavernIn this well-traversed, confused episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we revisit a quirky cinematic flame in the 1996 film, Josh Kirby... Time Warrior! Chapter 5: Journey to the Magic Cavern, directed by Ernest Farino. We at Tubi or Not Tubi have most definitely had more than one run-in with this particular franchise off-screen. We know these characters, but do we know them well? Are they developed enough to truly be known well? We must investigate!2023-06-141h 26Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 84: The Gay DecieversIn this fanciful, pointed episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we take a historical cinematic journey to a fascinating queer cinema specimen in the 1969 film, The Gay Decievers, directed by Bruce Kessler and starring Michael Greer. This podcast is no slouch when it comes to exploring the occasional historical artifact, and this instance is no different. Will this supposed snapshot of Vietnam-Era commentary stand the test of time, and if so, in a good way or a bad way? We shall see.2023-05-311h 26Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 83: A Man and His ProstateIn this well-traveled, medical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we tackle our first live recorded performance in the 2020 film, A Man and His Prostate, directed by Leonardo Foti, written by Ed. Weinberger, and starring the late Ed Asner. We've seen live shows on Tubi before, and there is quite a litter to pick from! What better way than to start off with an in-depth, anatomically accurate health class taught by Asner himself?2023-05-1652 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 82: Allegiance of Powers, LIVE!It's our first-ever LIVE SHOW!! In it, we revisit an old wound. Yes, I'm speaking of Allegiance of Powers, the 2016 film directed by Michael Crum. In making up for the literally lost time of the previous recording, we have now exposed this spectacle of a film to the public, in a public setting no less! What a time we had.2023-05-021h 27Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 81: A Tentacular Time w/ Samantha Hanna the Wise and Aaron Carlson the Wit!After the recent publishing of our very first interview as the interviewees on Around the Reel, it is only reasonable we release the wonderful interview we had with 2/3rds of that team as well! We discuss the joys of The Giant Pacific Octopus. We examine the trials and tribulations behind the making of the documentary. We also wonderfully exchange stories of bizarre encounters with unknown entities! We hope this conversation brings you as much joy as it brought us.2023-04-181h 23Around The ReelAround The ReelAround The Reel - "Tubi Or Not Tubi!" with Cecilia Dillon & Rafiq TaylorToday we have the pleasure to sit down with Cecilia Dillon & Rafiq Taylor the hosts of the hit podcast Tubi Or Not Tubi!

Once again, Tubi has offered us a strange situation of a film to dissect. What is an Omega Code? Why is Michael York always caterwauling all the time? Will this movie provide answers or more questions? Guess we gotta go to Megiddo to find out...2023-03-081h 25Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 77: A Multidimensional Evening w/ Rick Ives The Marvelous*This episode contains spoilers for both Infinity War and Solid Rock Trust but we told you to watch Solid Rock Trust two weeks ago* It has been nearly exactly a year since Tubi or Not Tubi has been blessed with the presence of a special guest, and gadzooks! Another has arrived. Yes, this week we engage in a pleasurable conversation with Rick Ives: writer and director of Solid Rock Trust. However, the discussion doesn't end there. We veer into Rick's experience as the editor of many Tubi favorites. We even dive into his Marvel experience a...2023-02-211h 18Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 76: Solid Rock TrustIn this surprising, extra-special episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we meticulously schedule a viewing of Solid Rock Trust, the 2022 film written and directed by Rick Ives. This episode appears as an unexpected offering from the filmmaker himself... That said, will it stand the test of our critical Tubi gaze? Be sure to check out FlashBulb films while you ponder this answer: https://linktr.ee/flashbulbfilms2023-02-071h 20Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 75: Pinocchio: A True StoryIn this deceitful, aloof episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, things get a little kooky as we stumble into the manic world of the 2022 film, Pinocchio: A True Story, directed by Vasiliy Rovenskiy and starring Pauly Shore and Jon Heder. We've all seen the memes, we all have faaathers who need to let us leeeeave on our ooooown. But maybe this movie is more than a cultural touchstone... Ok who am I kidding it's on Tubi already, but someone's gotta keep a record, ya'know?2023-01-241h 09Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 74: The WoodsIn this branching, crackling episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we pack our bags against our will and get ourselves hopelessly lost in The Woods, the 2006 film directed by Lucky McKee. When we build the lists of films we intend to review, sometimes they unexpectedly exit the Tubi rotation. In this particular case, The Woods has ascended from the cinematic graveyard! Of course, we had no choice but to jump at this opportunity during this golden window...2023-01-101h 17Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 73: March of the Wooden SoldiersIn this Golden Age, historical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we get trapped in a storybook world, never to return, forced to endure the rampaging March of the Wooden Soldiers, the 1934 film directed by Charley Rogers and Gus Meins. This is, by a long shot, the earliest content to be featured in an episode of this podcast. Will our minds be protected by the clever antics of comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, or will Tubi inflict some ancient horrors on the populace this week?2022-12-271h 13Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 72: JabberwockyIn this ye olde, rambunctious episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we obey the sacred potato in the 1977 film, Jabberwocky, directed by Terry Gilliam. If any location is going to have that one movie by that one guy where he didn't want the movie to be seen as a thing to do with his past life when it actually has everything to do with his past life, it's Tubi. That description is also how Jabberwocky happened, so this one's gonna be real interesting!2022-12-131h 26Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 71: Tubi Twofers, Eighth EditionIn this eighth edition of "We were pressed for time, Holiday Time!"

Stay tuned and find out...2022-11-291h 02Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 70: Wild WitchIn this enchanting, whistful episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we learn to harness the Wild Way in the 2018 film, Wild Witch, directed by Kaspar Munk with the story based on the series of novels by Lene Kaaberbøl.  Tubi never seems to have a shortage of dubbed films from outside the US and this only adds to the endless unpredictability of the streaming app. Will the child-like wonder and innocence of this magical coming-of-age tale transcend the potential setbacks of the imfamous language-and-translation barrier? We definitely hope so!2022-11-161h 15Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 69: WerewolvesIn 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. The documentary category of Tubi is a temperamental one, and always carries the risk of thrusting the viewer into an uncanny valley of bizarre CGI, stock footage, and robotic recitations of Wikipedia articles. That's always a possibility, and I think we um... I think we learned that the hard way.2022-11-021h 04Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 68: Bees Make HoneyIn this sweet, alluring episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we don our best dress for the 2017 film, Bees Make Honey, written and directed by Jack Eve and starring both his sister Alice Eve and his father Trevor Eve. This Tubi Movie right here is a family affair! Perhaps it is the first of its kind to happen on this podcast. In this fantastical whodunnit, one must wonder how fanciful the Halloween arrangements Tubi will be...2022-10-191h 15Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 67: Tubi Twofers, Seventh Edition!In this episode of Tubi or not Tubi SURPRISE AGAIN!!

Quizmaster Pete once again holds our fate in their inquisitive hands!2022-10-0559 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 66: ExtremitiesCW: Sexual Assault. This occurs in and is what the entire film attempts to tackle. Take heed. In this pensive, melancholic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we ruminate on the intense social commentary contained in Extremities, the 1986 film directed by Robert M. Young and starring Farrah Fawcett. We have absolutely no idea how this movie ended up on our watchlist, but it did. We watched it. Tubi willed it, and we received it.2022-09-211h 37Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 65: Royal Love Story from the GraveIn this regal, longing episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we swoon over the lush dramatic romance story of the 2018 film, Royal Love Story From the Grave, directed by Kevin Douglas Wright. Golly, one cannot help but marvel at this wondrous feat of ingenuity. This film is bold in many, many ways! Indeed, this flick will keep you on your... Tourmentooooooes!2022-09-061h 15Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 64: Two Buddies and a BadgerIn this adventurous, musical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we take our tails to Bergen for the 2015 film, Two Buddies and a Badger, directed by Rasmus A. Sivertsen and Rune Spaans. The 3D animation sector of Tubi or Not Tubi often struggles to NOT be generated by Artificial Intelligence, so finding this 3D animated Norwegian property is a real gift! Or is it? What could have possibly happened to the town of Bergen? We must investigate.2022-08-231h 11Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 63: Mary Loss of SoulIn this poignant, elusive episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we fly like ephemeral birds, soaring through the 2014 film, Mary Loss of Soul, written and directed by Jennifer B. White. We here at Tubi or Not Tubi love ourselves a lost soul, and Tubi is no exception! But when the loss of said soul becomes the entire story, what impact does it have on the Tubi viewer? Guess we're gonna have to find out firsthand, won't we?2022-08-091h 11Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 62: Shadows on the WallIn this impeccably engineered, mathematical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we explore the outer reaches of the observable universe in the 2015 film, Shadows on the Wall, written and directed by Ben Carland. Yes, this is yet another potentially riveting science fiction adventure from within the corridors of the Tubi Industrial Complex! Things have a tendency to get... particularly unusual with our science fiction decisions. Will this be a Hoot or Holler? Only Tubi Knows!2022-07-261h 17Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 61: UnbornIn this timely, swollen episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we incubate a questionable bun in a specific kind of oven with the 2022 Tubi Original film, Unborn, directed by Steven R. Monroe. Once again, we venture into the world of the Tubi Original film! What algorithmic powers will present themselves in this pregnancy horror? Wait... A pregnancy horror? That's a Tubi Original? In THIS economy?! Indeed, an investigation is a must!2022-07-131h 44Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 60: Tubi Twofers, Sixth Edition!In this episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, SURPRISE! YES! It is the sixth edition of our Tubi Twofers Challenge of FATE!! We once again test our Tubi memory banks against the Time Lord known as Quizmaster Pete! How exciting!2022-06-291h 07Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 59: Hamlet & HutchIn this dramatic, aged episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we... *sigh*... we save our community theater in the 2014 film, Hamlet & Hutch, directed by Jared and Matthew Young and starring Burt Reynolds. There are many, many, many, many films of the Tubi variety in which a local theater is placed in danger of being torn down. And yet. Every time. It hits different. Please trust us when we tell you: Hamlet & Hutch hits different. 2022-06-151h 37Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 58: Alleluia! The Devil's CarnivalIn this vibrant, exalted episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we challenge the heavens in the 2016 film, Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. If there is one thing Tubi loves, it's bizarre personifications of The Devil. So one must be curious as to what Tubi's musical interpretation of the figure might be...2022-05-311h 10Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 57: A Tudor Feast (At Christmas)In this esoteric, homely episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we take a historical step and witness the 2006 film, A Tudor Feast, directed by Chris Mitchell. This marks the podcast's first-ever review of a documentary found on the Tubi platform! What wonders await in this thus far uncharted genre...2022-05-1750 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 56: Long-Distance PrincessIn this faithful, deceptive episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we nearly entirely abandon the world of adults in the 2012 or 2010 or 2014 film, Long-Distance Princess, written and directed by Lionel Chew. This film is... allegedly... a Star Wars-inspired romantic drama that allegedly takes place in not space somehow... Can Tubi handle this high concept? We must find out.2022-05-031h 22Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 55: RagdollIn this forbidden, shadowy episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we summon the spirit of vengeance in the 1999 film, Ragdoll, directed by Ted Nicolaou. This is the part where I often insert a quizzical paragraph about the content you are about to experience, but I too fear the wrath of Woman Detective, and you should too.2022-04-201h 33Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 54: DismissedIn this educational, high-achieving episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we hand in our Othello papers Tubi evaluated in the 2017 film, Dismissed, directed by Benjamin Arfmann and starring Dylan Sprouse. Tubi has a track record of providing truly spooky educational and education-related content... But what does Tubi do when the students themselves ARE the spook? We must investigate! 2022-04-051h 38Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 53: The Twobiversary!In this celebratory ritual of a Tubi or Not Tubi Episode, we are honoring a SECOND YEAR of Tubi Trials and Tribulations!

You can peruse that list here!2022-03-231h 20Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 52: GhoulsIn this paranormal, feared-by-Romanians episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we skydive right into the celestial conflict depicted in the 2008 film, Ghouls, directed by Gary Jones. The late 2000s has managed to be a very odd and specific time capsule year for paranormal-style content. But is this kind of thing right up Tubi's alley? Perhaps! We must investigate...2022-03-091h 03Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 51: Afternoon Tea w/ Krys Fox The BenevolentIn this 2-22-22 Tubi Tuesday of a Tubi or Not Tubi: An interview!

Tubi has a seemingly endless stream of unknown ghost films. Will this one rise above? Will it leave much Tubi desired? Whatever the answer is, it's probably not what we would expect!2022-02-091h 32Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 49: POP-U-larity!In this talent-filled, ambitious episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we finally get to lay our eyes on the 2012 film, POP-U-larity!, written and directed by Michelle Ehlen. When we first encountered this film on Tubi, we immediately knew we had to save it for its own episode within the first five minutes of footage! However, many movies have great beginnings... will Tubi allow this one to thrive? We watch on eagerly!  (As of literally yesterday, this film isn't on Tubi currently... But you can still see it here! It is also on Prime.)2022-01-251h 13Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 48: AkiraIn this monumental, apocalyptic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we tackle the cinematic triumph of animation known to the world as the 1988 film, Akira, directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. This film is available on Tubi currently, and it is quite an important task to discern what function this acquisition serves. Does this Tubi Movie get along with the others? Or is it simply too powerful to be contained? 2022-01-111h 31Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 47: Ouija: Deadly ReunionIn this ambitious, forboding special episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we reconvene with some familiar souls at the Tubi Premiere of the 2021 film: Ouija: Deadly Reunion, written and directed by Israel Luna.

"Tubi is a proverb, maybe they don't actually say that, just roll with it."2021-12-141h 22Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 45: A Lobster TaleIn this seafaring, wives' tale of a Tubi or Not Tubi episode, we harvest some mysterious magical remedies in the 2006 film, A Lobster Tale, directed by Adam Massey. Tubi is once again attempting to whisk us away in another whimsical fable. What mysteries of the deep will it attempt to show us? Are these the kinds of mysteries meant Tubi uncovered? We shall find out indeed!2021-12-011h 24Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 44: HyperfuturaIn this apocalyptic, frantic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we implant our memories into a robot to break the system or whatever with the 2013 film, Hyperfutura, written and directed by James O'Brien. What does Tubi believe is poetry? How does Tubi's algorithm respond to the existence of poetry as a concept? Is this question worth asking? This feels like a very dangerous question.2021-11-161h 51Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 43: A Haunting in CawdorIn this spooky, forboding nighttime release of Tubi or Not Tubi, we channel our ethereal selves with the 2015 film, A Haunting in Cawdor, directed by Phil Wurtzel and starring Cary Elwes. What happens when Tubi decides a group of dastardly teens are required to perform The Scottish Play in a barn theatre? Time travel? Ghosts that can communicate well? Manual Labor? I guess. I guess.2021-11-031h 24Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 42: Conjuring: Book of the DeadIn this occult, convoluted episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we descent into a world of darkness in the 2020 film, Conjuring: Book of the Dead, written and directed by Richard Driscoll. Tubi is a safe haven for cult movies. No, I don't mean the genre of the cult film. I'm talking about New York comic book publishing company executives who own an interconnected ring of occultist strip clubs in New Orleans.  Indeed, there's lots to not understand here!2021-10-191h 20Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 41: Temple Wood: A Quest for FreedomIn this wayfaring, soul-searching episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we traverse the spiral woods of Scotland in the 2012 film, Temple Wood: A Quest for Freedom, directed by Ethan Race. The Lovecraftian Horror genre has inspired many a creator, and Tubi is far from immune from this realm of influence. That said, one must wonder, is the Lovecraft Realm of this app something Tubi admired? Or is it something Tubi avoided? 2021-10-051h 42Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 40: The Empty AcreIn this hollow, dry episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we survey the land in the 2007 film, The Empty Acre, written and directed by Patrick Rea. The labor necessary to cultivate the resources on a farm is a great amount, but what happens when the earth itself refuses to provide? This week, we explore Tubi's take on what needs tubi done in this situation!2021-09-211h 16Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 39: Twisted House SitterIn this sneaky, anonymously written episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we spend our social capital as influencers on the 2021 film, Twisted House Sitter, directed by Courtney Miller. This episode right here is an occasion Tubi celebrated. Why? It's our first review of a Tubi Original Film! Will this be an algorithmic triumph? Or will it leave much Tubi desired? We must investigate!2021-09-071h 16Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 38: Christmas TradeIn this jolly, anxious episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we prepare for the pageantry of the 2015 film, Christmas Trade, written and directed by Joel Souza and starring Denise Richards and William Baldwin. In this festive holiday-filled month of August, we are tasked to revisit the eggnog. How does the mystical streaming app known as Tubi interpret the film Freaky Friday? Can they actively execute that one proverb about moccasins in a Christmas environment? We evaluate the attempt!2021-08-241h 01Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 37: Tubi Twofers, Fourth Edition!In this episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we are stepping back into the Great Woods and picking out some exotic flora and fauna to compete in this fourth trial of wills!  Yes, the twofers are here again!2021-08-101h 15Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 36: CoherenceIn this quantum, reflective episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we distort reality with the 2013 film, Coherence, directed by James Ward Byrkit. In this quantum, cosmic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we venture to the neighbor's house with the 2014 film, James Ward Byrkit, directed by Coherence. In this cosmic test of Tubi, we speak of not spoiling the 2013 film, At The 11:11 Mark, directed by James Ward Byrkit. On this jungle cruise that is Tubi or Not Tubi, we look at a cat and wonder about it with the 2014 film, Ecnerehoc, directed by Tikryb Draw Semaj.2021-07-271h 14Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 35: The Huntress: Rune of the DeadIn this cursed, fae-like episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we cower in the woods with the 2019 film, The Huntress: Rune of the Dead, directed by Rasmus Tirzitis. All sorts of Tubi movies deal with folks who live in the woods. But what led them Tubi living in the woods, and what else is in the woods with them? 2021-07-141h 07Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 34: Snow White: A Deadly SummerIn this mischievous, murderous episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we endure the stepmother's scheme in the 2012 film, Snow White: A Deadly Summer, directed by David DeCotaeu. Tubi is the kind of app that is filled to the brim with playful adaptions of the world's most popular stories! This fact, while fascinating, leads one to question: Does this trend of constant adaptation need Tubi stopped?2021-06-291h 28Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 33: A Birthday Witch Mystery!In this magical, adolescent episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, it's a full-blown birthday extravaganza! In this episode, Cecilia, our resident birthday witch, is allotted the power of PICKING from a collection of 25 specially curated films... How lucky or unlucky was her ultimate birthday choice?! Stay tuned to find out!2021-06-152h 20Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 32: The Company of WolvesIn this howling, fantastical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we traverse the dark woods of the 1984 film, The Company of Wolves, directed by Neil Jordan and starring Angela Lansbury. This is a movie that definitely causes one to wonder... What is Tubi done to those unfortunate souls who stray from The Path? Is it a result Tubi desired?2021-06-011h 31Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 31: Allegiance of PowersIn this visually stunning Mother's Day follow-up episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we unlock the secrets of the red rain in the 2016 film, Allegiance of Powers, directed by Michael Krum and written by Gerald Krum. In our recent bonus episode, we took a slight detour into the wondrous world of Sailor Moon anime fillers. This caused us to wonder... What would Tubi even think Sailor Moon if we searched for it? The result was quite exciting.2021-05-1859 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiMother's Day Special! The Beach, the Island and a Vacation: The Guardians' BreakIn this super special minisode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we're honoring the concept of motherhood by delivering the gift of Sailor Moon! And Dinosaurs!2021-05-0920 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 30: Tulip FeverIn this frantic, romantic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we take a historical journey through the 2017 film, Tulip Fever, directed by Justin Chadwick and starring Christoph Waltz, Judi Dench, and Zach Galifianakis. Tubi is an app that is well known for scraping off and using the kinds of films that get stuck to the bottom of the narrative shoe like a piece of bubble gum. This begs the question: what if the gum is old? Like, period piece old? What happens then?2021-05-041h 14Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 29: HeatstrokeIn this spicy, scientific episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we learn some harsh truths about global warming in the 2008 film, Heatstroke, directed by Andrew Prowse. Tubi contains an abundance of films in which the entire planet is in some sort of imminent peril. This danger often comes from unnatural disasters or alien invasion. But what happens when the answer is both? It's definitely quite a situation Tubi considered!2021-04-201h 15Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 28: Hidden Treasure of the MississippiIn this murderous, bicentennial episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we go on a scary journey with Victoria Justice and the Sprouse Twins in the 2008 film, Hidden Treasure of the Mississippi, directed by Robert Moresco. If Tubi knows anything about Mississippi towns, it's that they hold many secrets. With this in mind, we must ask ourselves: Which mysteries will these former Disney Channel stars uncover? What mysteries will remain hidden along the way? 2021-04-061h 12Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 27: One Year Tubiversary!In this celebratory ritual of a Tubi or Not Tubi Episode, we're honoring a full year of cinematic trials and tribulations! In this special episode, we take on the challenging trivia of Quizmaster Pete! We also attempt the unthinkable: Ranking all 24 films we have viewed for this podcast. 2021-03-2357 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 26: Vegas SkylineIn this invasive, hypercharged episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we witness the extinction of humanity firsthand by viewing the 2012 or 2008 film, Vegas Skyline, directed by Michael Ricks.  Sometimes, Tubi Gives. Many Times, Tubi Takes. This time? Tubi Attacks.2021-03-091h 22Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 25: Ghost in the FamilyIn this Beetlejuicy, paranormal episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we navigate the purgatory of the 2018 film, Ghost in the Family, written and directed by William David Glenn IV. What happens after you accidentally die? More importantly, what happens if essentially nothing happens after you accidentally die? And MOST importantly, what happens when Tubi attempts to answer these questions? We may not have really wanted to know... But we definitely found out.2021-02-231h 18Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 24: The Haunting at Woodland HillsIn this haunting, sprawling episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we get spooked for the 2013 film, The Haunting at Woodland Hills, directed by Jeremy Casper. Tubi is an app well known to this podcast for its supernatural spellcasting. So if there is a haunting at woodland hills, you can bet Tubi has something to do with it. But one must question the reasoning for this particular haunting? Was it worth it Tubi? Was it worth it?2021-02-091h 17Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 23: Deep DarkIn this artistic, phantasmagoric episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we are drilling into the 2015 film, Deep Dark, written and directed by Michael Medaglia. The land of Tubi is filled with numerous deep, dark, holes. So when one particular hole has the courtesy to announce itself, is venturing forth into it a justice? Or is it an omen?2021-01-261h 18Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 22: Savage CreaturesIn this conspiratorial, hangry episode of Tubi not Not Tubi, we enter a world-ending battle royale with the 2020 film, Savage Creatures, written and directed by Richard Lowry. If there's one thing Tubi movies have in common, it's that they have both nothing and everything in common. So when a film offers nuns, aliens, cannibals, and vampires, one must ask: What does Tubi even think these things have in common?!2021-01-121h 17Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 21: Christmas MountainIn this festive, jingly-jangly eggnog-riddled holiday special of Tubi or Not Tubi, we traverse the snow-covered landscape to encounter the 1981 film, Christmas Mountain: The Story of a Cowboy Angel, directed by Pierre De Moro. The Christmas movie industry is an expansive and vast winter wonderhellscape. That much we know as fact. So one must wonder what will occur when we dip our feet into this early 80s spaghetti western. Will the spirit of Christam bring joy? Or will it bring a twister of ruin to this small western town?2020-12-291h 10Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 20: Iron WolfIn this howling, feral episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we search our homes for silver as we prepare for the 2013 film, Iron Wolf, directed by Jens Neir and David Bruckner! What happens when a WW2 experimental werewolf is trapped in the cellar of an abandoned Nazi laboratory? According to Tubi, that is entirely dependent on how much of a punk you are. So it is our task to answer the question: Is this film punk enough?2020-12-1553 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 19: Angels FallenIn this providential, fortuitous episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we clutch our rosaries for the 2020 film, Angels Fallen, directed by Ali Zamani. Why have the angels fallen? Why does an emotionless demon hunter care? What is the deal with the therapist? Locusts? These are all very good questions Tubi answered indeed!2020-12-011h 28Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 18: Robot OverlordsIn this tactical, mechanical episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we scan the system of the 2014 film, Robot Overlords, directed by Jon Wright and starring Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson. While it is important for one to know when to fight the system, one must ask, what if that system is a literal system? How does the system of robotic overlordarchy fit into the genuine robot overlord-like system that is Tubi? Are they compatible? We must investigate!2020-11-171h 33Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 17: Tubi Twofers, Second Edition!In this episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we're once again visiting the pantry to see what mystical cinematic items are inside. Why has it come to this? Well, the truth of the matter is that some Moms are simply not worth the time investment. Mom is no centerpiece, so it shall be the first of the ensemble in this high stakes sampler platter of an episode!2020-11-031h 04Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 16: Ghost of a Summer NightIn this sensuous, longingly romantic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we daintily embrace the 2002 film, Ghost of a Summer Night, directed by C.B. Tiden. What happens when a ghost of a high school love interferes in your mid-life crisis? That question is an interesting one Tubi answered, and this film right here definitely attempts to answer that quite forcefully, like an Electric Wind God Fist.2020-10-201h 09Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 15: Tubi Twofers, First Edition!In this episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we're stirring the content hot pot with an interesting ladle! How does this ladle look? It looks like a spicy little competition where Ceci and Rafiq are given two minutes each to summarize Tubi films that have NOT been the centerpiece of their own episode! It's like one of those sampler platters you see at birthday parties but you have no idea what the samples are and can't tell of the court's eunuchs poisoned the pizza bites or not.2020-10-061h 09Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 14: Don PeyoteIn this psychedelic spirit journey of a Tubi or Not Tubi episode, we harness our quan and venture forth into the 2014 film, Don Peyote, written, directed, and starring Dan Fogler. Other appearances include Anne Hathaway, Topher Grace, and Josh Duhamel. In a movie where drug use and mental health collide in an epic battle of wits, one must wonder, can it really hold itself together? And if not, how quickly and gracefully will it fall apart? Is that in itself something Tubi admired? We investigate!2020-09-221h 12Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 13: PassionIn this emotional, compelling episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we set our hearts ablaze over the 2012 film, Passion, directed by Brian De Palma and starring Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, and Paul Anderson. This film poses a number of questions! But the most pressing, overarching question seems Tubi: Are the advertising agencies okay? No, seriously. Is everyone drinking enough water? Like are these folks okay?2020-09-081h 17Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 12: Dragon BladeIn this epic, dramatic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we search for the glory in the 2015 film, Dragon Blade, directed by Daniel Lee and starring Jackie Chan, John Cusak, and Adrien Brody. Films based on historical events often go wrong for a number of possible reasons. But, being that Jackie Chan is present, one must ask... Is this a film Tubi admired, or will it leave much Tubi desired?2020-08-251h 11Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 11: Itsy BitsyIn this creepy-crawly episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we debate over whether or not to call pest control on the 2019 horror-drama, Itsy Bitsy, directed by Micah Gallo. Our first episode discussed a film that was supposed to emphasize the danger of bees, only to inadvertently emphasize the danger of Tubi. In this episode, we ask: can a predator of the bee also bee an apex predator of Tubi? 2020-08-111h 11Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 10: Ghost BoatIn this wanderlustful and pensive episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we set our anchors down at the port of the 2014 horror-thriller, Ghost Boat, written and directed by Matt Lofgren. This movie presents a huge question Tubi at least considered if not answered outright: Is it possible to be on a yacht in a film and not have suffered a deep trauma in the past?2020-07-281h 13Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 9: Arson MomIn this fiery episode of Tubi of Not Tubi, we decide whether or not to scorch the 2014 film, Arson Mom, directed by Brenton Spencer and starring Julie Benz. The title of this film leads to many interesting and confusing questions. What is an Arson Mom? Why is an Arson Mom? How does one become an Arson Mom? Are these questions even answerable? We must investigate.2020-07-1449 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 8: Mandy the Haunted DollIn this foreboding, ominous episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we closely scrutinize the 2018 film, Mandy the Haunted Doll, directed by Jaime Weston. The "haunted doll" genre is often one that happens to be privy to shenanigans, and Mandy is definitely a doll that adores a good shenanigan! However, we must ask: are Mandy's shenanigans something Tubi admired, or scorned?2020-07-011h 10Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 7: Violet & DaisyCW: Implied Sexual Assault (at around 23:00) In this turbulent, blossoming episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, things get real as we calmly sniff the elegantly violent 2011 film, Violet & Daisy, written and directed by Geoffrey S. Fletcher. Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel are teenage assassins that live together? Danny Trejo is their bookie? James Gandolfini's involved but the movie feels like Lady Bird?! Yeah. This warrants a thorough investigation. This film is not one Tubi ignored.2020-06-161h 03Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 6: Mr. Fix ItIn this splendidly romantic episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we take a real intimate look at the 2006 romcom, Mr. Fix It, directed by Darin Ferriola and starring David Boreanaz. One element of the romantic comedy genre is representative of the entire point of this podcast: the existence of True Love. Is it possible for an unknown film from the Tubi app to be worthy of True Love? Or, like a blonde David Boreanaz, is it a medical impossibility?2020-06-021h 19Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 5: Almighty ThorIn this power-packed episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we evaluate the 2011 fantasy blockbuster, Almighty Thor, directed by Christopher Olen Ray. There is one thing that must be said about The Asylum Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, that one thing happens to be a trailing sentence that progressively becomes as unrecognizable and indistinguishable as the concept of mediocrity itself. With that in mind, we chant... Ragnarok. Ragnarok. Ragarok... Ragnarok... Ragnarok.2020-05-1956 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 4: Dance-OffCW: Fatphobia, Diet Talk (at around 32:00) In this episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, things get very sweaty as we delve into the 2014 film, Dance-Off, directed by Alex Di Marco. Films about dance often seem too big to fail. This is because both art forms are meant to be experienced by audiences visually! Add the element of competition to the equation, and the drama writes itself! Or so we thought.  Or. So. We. Thought.2020-05-051h 00Tubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 3: The VisitorIn this truly mystifying episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we discuss our fateful encounter with the 1979 film, The Visitor, directed by Giulio Paradisi! Last time, we evaluated a film about the future. This time, we evaluate a film from the past with an old-school cast! One can't help but wonder... Were the prophets aliens? Or is it the other way around?? Yes. It's one of those movies.2020-04-2146 minTubi or Not TubiTubi or Not TubiEpisode 2: Cartel 2045In this action-packed episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we're examining the 2017 film, Cartel 2045, directed by Chris Le and starring Danny Trejo! The future is an elusive ninja, and it is always unpredictable. That said, we need to evaluate if this film and ask some real questions! Questions like: Is Danny Trejo inside a fully functional Gundam a match meant Tubi?2020-04-0744 min
