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!
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 to dive into this Arthurian Tubi... but will it distort us?
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, and, like Ayla, placing them together is a puzzle in itself.
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 universe, one can be sure Tubi's offerings have an unusual flavor to them...
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 story that was given many millions of dollars in an alleged attempt to reflect the time and place? Let's find out...
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.
In 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!
In 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.
In 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?
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.
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.
In this inspired, legendary episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we kick off year four by heading into the deep to explore the secrets of the 2021 documentary film, The Giant Pacific Octopus, directed by Samantha Hanna. We received this film as a direct recommendation from the exalted TwoBi-earning director and friend of the show Rick Ives, so we knew we would be in for an interesting time! We have also had the pleasure of interviewing Hanna and Aaron Carlson, 2/3rds of the Around the Reel trio. Be sure to check out their show as well: We could be making a guest appearance there sometime soon!
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!
In this unfathomably fortuitous episode of Tubi or Not Tubi, we have the absolute honor of sitting down with three of the minds and movers behind Coherence, a personal podcast favorite film! 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 like the film, as the night goes on, the conversation steers us into a discussion of Shatter Belt, Pirates of the Caribbean, Grey's Anatomy, Rango, Rango the video game for the Nintendo Wii, Mind Forest, A Christmas Wedding at the Bakery 3: Bakers Dozen, Peaceful Tadpoles, and Potato People! This is a 10th Anniversary interview so thorough you'll be checking the color of your glowstick by the end like we were...
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.
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...
Surprise! Yes, It's suddenly time for another series of Twofers, and Quizmaster Pete has all the adjudication materials handy for yet another cocktail tray of Tubi goods & services.
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 is going to be involved. We've seen Somnium offscreen. We know. But will The Boy Who Loved Trolls teach us more?
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? Can it help? Let's find out.
Here we are at Episode 99 and after a very eventful, surprisingly consistent year, Quizmaster Pete has emerged once again... for the 9th time! You can't make this stuff up: the Tubi Twofer is back again and man this app is the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving!
