New today on Book Riot: 7 of the Best Bookish Shows and Movies on Tubi
I also blogged about Wuthering Heights and its 2026 movie.
Here are some more movies and series free on Tubi. These are subject to change, often monthly.
Camelot
The 2011 Starz series was canceled after 1 season. I would have loved to see Eva Green have more time to play Morgan le Fay. There are some big changes to the myths here, especially Guinevere and Excalibur, but it does mention Merlin glamouring Uther Pendragon to rape Igraine. Arthur was conceived via “sorcery and rape,” as the show says, like in Malory. I always point out that Merlin enables rape in Le Morte d’Arthur by Thomas Malory. I’m fascinated by King Arthur and often say I’ll give almost any version a chance.
The Last Unicorn
This is a beautiful animated film, based on the novel by Peter S. Beagle. Christopher Lee voiced the villain, King Haggard. I blogged about its themes of love vs. possession in 2024.
Much Ado About Nothing
The 1993 version is one of my favorite Shakespeare productions. The cast is amazing: Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves, and Kate Beckinsale. I did NOT like the 2012 Joss Whedon version, but that’s on Tubi too.
Other movies I saw on other platforms recently:
Bugonia (spoilers!):
Bugonia is a remake of Korean director Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 film Save the Green Planet! Emma Stone’s performance is great. I haven’t seen the original, but I’ve read that all life on Earth dies at the end. Yorgos Lanthimos changed the ending in Bugonia by making the extraterrestrials kill all the humans but leave all the non-human life to survive.
Online discussions are divided. Some people consider the ending of the 2025 film hopeful. I consider it ecofascist (sacrificing humanity for the sake of the environment), not hopeful. It’s “hopeful” only if you necessarily conflate humanity with industrialization and capitalism. Capitalism and colonialism (not humanity in general) are threatening and destroying life on Earth.
Project Hail Mary
I don’t want to give anything away, but I loved this. Great sci-fi that makes sense.
important note
Finally, if you enjoy my writing, please share or cite it, or follow my 2 blogs: here and on my Medium. They’re different from each other and always free. I think search engines are changing, and fewer people are finding my work.
Please follow No Tech for Apartheid and boycott Amazon and Google if you can. And refuse to use genAI. I use Firefox and Duck Duck Go now and turn off all genAI. I’ve also heard Vivaldi is a good browser and Ecosia is a good search engine that plants trees to try to offset its carbon footprint.
Also, please follow the BDS movement and boycott McDonald’s, Starbucks, and many more pro-Israel companies.
