Tubi launches new Mixtapes feature, letting users collect, curate and share their faves

article

Mixtapes are back, but don't dust off that cassette player just yet – these Mixtapes live on Tubi. 

The free streaming platform has launched a new feature which allows users to collect, curate and share their favorite movies and TV episodes with friends and family – an element which builds on viewers' reliance on recommendations from friends and family.

These can be as general as "Tom's favorites" or as specific as the user can imagine. To demonstrate, the Mixtape feature launched with a collection of mixtapes from creators showcasing the wide range of possible approaches:

• @chronicallyscary’s "Valid Crashouts" mixtape, showcasing horror movies with understandable antiheroes, including "Pearl," "Carrie," and "Ginger Snaps."
• @courtrevolution’s "Millennial Memory Lane" mixtape is fueled by millennial nostalgia for TV shows and movies from the 1990s and early 2000s, including "The Powerpuff Girls" and "Cruel Intentions."
• @ijustwannachatpodcast’s "Cozy Fall Romcom Vibes" mixtape captures exactly what it says on the tin, including "Mystic Pizza," "Uptown Girls," and "50 First Dates."
• @simiview’s "Blood, Sweat, & Honor" mixtape provides an essential martial arts movie guide, featuring classics like "Fist of Fury," "Drunken Master," and "Bloodsport."
• @screened.scored’s "Saturday Morning Was Sacred" mixtape brings together classic cartoons and movies that became staples in countless homes over the years, including "All Dogs Go to Heaven," "Dexter's Laboratory," and "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."

Up to this point, the My List feature allowed users to curate a watchlist of their own, but Mixtapes will allow for both curation and, perhaps more importantly, sharing. Tubi's massive catalog of 375,000 movies and TV episodes can now be brought together into highly specific lists and shared with friends, family, and any other users who might be interested.
