Sasha Nathwani’s Berlinale and London Film Festival coming-of-age drama LAST SWIM is on Tubi.

Türker Süer’s Venice and Toronto drama EDGE OF NIGHT is on MUBI.

@ShadeTV Never sure since they do keep it a mystery, but the guess for Regal was correct and AMC ended up showing the same movie on Monday. Can’t think of what else it could be tomorrow. You never know though.

@LifeIsAFilmFest How sure are we about this Monday's didn't work out :(

Sunday Regal Mystery Movie and AMC Screen Unseen at 2PM will likely be Kyle Balda’s THE SHEEP DETECTIVES with Hugh Jackman. The PG-rated film has a 94% fresh rating on RT and is opening in theaters next weekend.

Jon Spira’s Fantastic Fest documentary THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF CHRISTOPHER LEE is on Tubi.

Gennaro Nunziante’s comedy BUEN CAMINO with Checco Zalone and Beatriz Arjona became the highest grossing film of all time in Italy, surpassing Avatar earlier this year. It is now available to watch on Netflix.

The concert film MITSKI: THE LAND, directed by Grant James, is on MUBI.

Sara Zandieh’s SXSW comedy DOIN’ IT, starring co-writer Lilly Singh, is on Paramount+ with Showtime.

Ryan J. Sloan’s Cannes and Fantastic Fest thriller GAZER, starring Ariella Mastroianni, is on Shudder and AMC+.

Babak Anvari’s HALLOW ROAD from SXSW Film Festival is on Hulu. The thriller, which stars Matthew Rhys and Rosamund Pike, has an 88% fresh rating on RT.

NEON will release Nicolas Winding Refn's thriller HER PRIVATE HELL, starring Sophie Thatcher, Charles Melton, Havana Rose Liu, Kristine Froseth, Diego Calva, Shioli Kutsuna, Aoi Yamada, Hidetoshi Nishijima, and Dougray Scott, in US theaters on July 24 following its Cannes premiere this month. MUBI has the international rights to the film in many countries. Full Cannes 2026 lineup here: letterboxd.com/filmfestival/l…

@TheWhaleFace Yes, that will inevitably be the case, because they would not send the same film and instead would select a second one to increase their chances of getting nominated.

@LifeIsAFilmFest So some countries might have more than one film representing them during the nominations process?

In addition to the films selected by countries, these festival award winners will also be eligible for the Best International Feature Film Oscar. Cannes - Palme d’Or Venice - Golden Lion Sundance - World Cinema Grand Jury Prize Berlinale - Golden Bear Toronto - Platform Award Busan - Busan Award This year’s Golden Bear winner Yellow Letters by İlker Çatak and Sundance winner Shame and Money by Visar Morina are already eligible. I found both films to be exceptional.

New: You, Always - Netflix - Australian rom-com for those who were hoping to see Adrian Grenier in The Devil Wears Prada 2 Glory - Netflix - Indian boxing thriller series Saýara - Tubi - Turkish revenge thriller from Can Evrenol El Encargado (The Boss) season 4 - Hulu/Disney+ Despicable Me 4 - Prime Video

@QRomieRome PBS app is free for the new stuff they air. If you want to watch their older catalog, then a subscription might be necessary. I would recommend When the Light Breaks (Tubi) & Bang Bang (Prime) from the things added this week, but there’s plenty of promising ones I haven’t seen.

@LifeIsAFilmFest I only have PBS Kids— that one gets used quite often here! What’s your picks to watch this weekend?

Environmental documentary series SHARED PLANET, directed by Jeff Turner (Planet Earth), is on the PBS app. It explores people and wildlife living together throughout 4 episodes titled Cities, Open Spaces, Forests, and Waters.

After being stuck in rights limbo for years, all 7 seasons of TALES FROM THE CRYPT are coming to Shudder and AMC+, starting with season 1, which is available today. Additional seasons of the HBO horror anthology series will be added to Shudder weekly on Fridays.

@QRomieRome I haven’t had problems loading the app or watching it on Apple TV. You might also be able to cast it from a portable device.

@LifeIsAFilmFest I think I had issues getting this app on my tv before?
