- TV & Film
So you're sitting on your couch... Or in your bed... Or on the subway during a 3-hour commute to a generic ceremony that vaguely involves a series of bizarre acquaintances... And you need something to stream.
You stumble across the free film streaming app named Tubi. You marvel at the variety of quality films, many of which no one has encountered before.
You click a title that interests you based on the description.
A dog vomits within the first ten minutes... in live-action.
We made a podcast to experience that so you don't have to.
Join Ceci and Rafiq as they traverse the inner depths of Tubi's vast film library to view, analyze, and evaluate your next favorite (or least favorite) works of cinema.

Episode 110: The City of Your Final Destination
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 for things for 2 hours" is one of the weirdest genres cinema has to offer. However, with a title like this one, and Anthony Hopkins attached, how could we not check this one out? I mean Tubi surely can't punish us for being curious, right?
Right?
... Right? -
Episode 109: If I Can't
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 Montgomery Jr., he recommended we check out this particular film. So it went on the list, and now we have arrived.
And boy, was it fascinating! -
Episode 108: Paradise
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 must wonder what kind of genre brew this movie is cooking. Either way, the final dish is sure to be something interesting! -
Episode 107: Andover
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 regard for human morals. Fun!
