We’re approaching May, which means that new content will be available on Peacock and Tubi.
In May, Peacock will get the Amazing Spider-Man films and Jordan Peele’s directorial debut Get Out.
Most people think of Tubi as being the home of trash but in May it’s adding Oscar-winning movies like Interstellar (2014), Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), and Dune (1984). On the other hand, they’re hosting not one, not two sci-fi movies so bad they ruined the careers of up-and-coming actors. I’m talking about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) and The 5th Wave (2016).
