Un's Frequently Asked Questions

How often do you update this list, monkey man?

This hyperactive monkey swings back here at the beginning of every single month! I'll clear out the old bananas (movies that have left a service) and bring in a fresh bunch of the best, most exciting titles to make sure you're always in the loop.

Do I really need to pay for all these services?

You got it! Each of these streaming jungles requires its own entry pass (a subscription). My guide is here to help you get the most out of the ones you're already paying for, or to help you spot which jungle you might want to explore next!

Will I find these movies outside the US or UK?

That's the tricky part! Movie availability can be as shifty as a chameleon because of boring licensing deals that change from country to country. I'm mostly focused on the US and UK, so it's always a good idea to check your local service to see if the movie I'm screeching about is playing in your neck of the woods.
