TL;DR: #Shudder will be getting an ad- supported tier. If they offer this as a cheaper alternative, ok, but if #AMC+ eventually pushes this on current subscribers unless they pay more a la #Amazon, I'm out.
We already have an ad supported horror channel; it's called #TUBI.
No spoilers on the off chance that you'd watch it, but we just finished watching all five seasons of Haven, which was a show that was on SyFy from 2010-2015. Anyone seen or liked it? For those who haven't, it starred Emily Rose (from Uncharted) and the other folks in the image here. It was based on Stephen King's 'The Colorado Kid'. There's all these weird supernatural things going on based around this fictional town called Haven in Maine (it's actually filmed in Canada 🤣). The show has strong X-Files, Twin Peaks, Twilight Zone, Supernatural, and strangely, even Gilmore Girls vibes at times. And once it gets past the first season, it really finds itself. I'd never even heard of it. And I really liked it. A kinda weird choice in actor for the main villain reveal in season five (you'd know him), but now, knowing what channel it aired on, that choice might kinda make sense. Anyway, it's on Tubi. If you're into weird sci-fi horror or drama stuff, you'd probably dig.
I'm trying to watch Babylon 5 on Tubi. I'd never watched it but with Harlan Ellison on staff & so many nerds I know having watched it, I thought it'd be good.
Sigh. This has been a tough row so far. Overacted, cheesy sets & costume design, terrible computer models... the writing is up for judgment.
I'll give it 10 episodes before I switch back to Deep Space Nine.
I’ve been using Tubi a little lately, mostly because I’m broke and lazy and I wanted to watch Lovecraft Country
Overall low-information review?
Tubi is not bad. Maybe it gets worse the more you use it, but I much prefer ads on Tubi to ads on YouTube. There maybe 4-5 minutes of ads in an hour-long show on Tubi
Lovecraft Country had a little too much gore for me. I didn’t get past Episode 5 but I might keep going. It’s a fantastic book
📽️ I discovered earlier that HISTORY OF THE OCCULT is available on #Kanopy, so I guess tonight's movie is settled.
(It's also on #Tubi for those of you who don't have Kanopy, but if you have a library card in the U.S., I beseech you to check and see if you can access their amazing library of #films.)
#Today#covid Day5 We are watching #ThisIsWonderland A wonderful #Canadian TV show #Cbc cancelled, claiming it did not have enough viewers. But I remember trying to watch it, and they kept changing it's time slot, making it very difficult to find. Great show. Funny and touching, wonderful characters, good plots that make you care. It's on #tubi.
If you don't know who Roger Corman is, you owe it to yourself to seek out as many of his movies as you can. Most of them are on #tubi and other free apps. His death means there are going to be marathons. Seek them out and enjoy. 😎
