I think it's deceptive that Lifetime/LMN frequently describes the 
acquired movies as "2024" when they were actually released a year or two 
earlier.

BTW, I Googled "what time are Tubi movies released/added" and found a 
Reddit post stating that Tubi's server is updated at 8 pm ET, although 
there's no source listed for the info.
