Pluto TV Bows 'Double Feature Fridays' Weekly Movie Promotion With 'Entertainment Tonight'

Pluto TV is rolling out a weekly classic movie promotion, “Double Feature Fridays,” with “Entertainment Tonight” beginning Aug 21. The free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platform will pair a studio classic with a new indie title, streaming 8 p.m. ET.

Each pairing is connected by shared talent, a genre, or a theme, and introduced through original “Entertainment Tonight” segments hosted by correspondent Emily Curl.

Each week, Curl guides the night’s double feature with archival footage from the “Entertainment Tonight” vault, including on-set interviews, behind-the-scenes secrets and career-defining moments in the star’s own words.

“We’re building Pluto TV into a weekly movie night destination,” said Will Gurman, SVP of content partnerships and programming at Pluto TV.

“The stories behind a movie can be just as memorable as the movie itself,” added Curl. “[The promotion] gives us the chance to bring those moments into the experience in a way that’s fun and unexpected, adding a new perspective to familiar favorites while introducing audiences to something new.”

“Double Feature Fridays” kicks off with Gravity and The Outer Threat, two visions of humanity confronting the vastness beyond Earth.

Sandra Bullock’s Oscar-nominated performance in Gravity is set up with an “ET” interview revealing the extraordinary physical toll of the role, alongside a look back at when George Clooney joined the production.

Then, The Outer Threat’s free streaming premiere brings the tension down to Earth, following Constance Wu as a retired astrophysicist whose quiet family life unravels when her partner makes a discovery that changes everything.

Movies come from Paramount, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and Radial Entertainment, among others. “Double Feature Fridays” runs until the end of 2026, culminating with Scrooged and Bad Santa 1 and 2.
