Hey, didn't that guy on the right play Lex Luthor once?

Tubi TV is rapidly adding titles to its sizable catalog. If you haven't heard of Tubi TV, it's a free (but ad-supported) streaming service.

In addition to the movies mentioned in the headline, the site will bring "Once Bitten" online. What's that? You haven't heard of "Once Bitten" either? Well, it stars a very young Jim Carrey, and Lauren Hutton plays a vampire looking to drink the blood of an inexperienced man (that would be Carrey).

The world's best worst movie, "Troll 2," arrives on January 6. If you're going to watch this horrible movie, why bother paying for it? Fans of good television should be happy to see "Freaks and Geeks" will also be free to stream starting January 28.

Check out the list below for more information. The list isn't exhaustive -- Tubi TV says it will add over 400 new titles in January.
