It began, as so many things do for me these days, on Letterboxd. As great as the movie-logging social platform is for discovering films, it’s even better for being nosy. What is this person watching? What did they think about that movie? What have they added to their watchlist? While snooping around the app a few weeks ago, I noticed a friend of mine had logged a film I’d never heard of, a little Tubi Original called “Hag.”
It didn’t inspire instant faith. As far as streaming platforms go, Tubi isn’t exactly known for its prestige output. The streamer is completely free, generating its revenue from advertising. But if you’re willing to watch a couple of salad dressing commercials in the middle of your film, you’ll have access to Tubi’s vast, ever-changing content library, which, at the time of writing, includes everything from “Poor Things” and “Oldboy” to heartwrenching, unforgettable fare like “Grown Ups 2.”
