Tubi is the best streaming service because it captures the feeling of a video store, but not a corporate video store like Blockbuster, or even a good indie store, but a rundown video rental place under a overpass weeks away from closing down. You’ll find, like, 2001: A Space Odyssey next to a unwatchable copy of a 70s exploitation film and a micro-low-budget indie and a movie called STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE III but you can find no evidence of STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE one or two existing.
This is a real, commercial streaming service and they’ve uploaded films with the DVD menu visible for the first few seconds bc it’s a recording of a DVD copy. What a titan in the landscape of streaming
The Tubi version of 1985’s ‘Day of the Dead’ is literally ripped from a VHS copy that Scream Factory released for their own streaming channel as part of a “retro edition” line, complete with tracking lines and the little “PLAY” icon at the beginning. Trust me when I say this is the most accurate description of Tubi as a streaming service ever.
Tubi’s version of Night of the Demons has a commentary track over it. They do not have the movie without a commentary track. In a era where special features are gone you have to appreciate a streaming service that offers only the special features
