Popcornflix Acquires Exclusive Content

The Lifeguard and other titles now available only on the free streaming app

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Popcornflix, the leading free movie and TV streaming service, now offers exclusive content. Popcornflix has acquired exclusive rights to a number of titles, including The Lifeguard with Kristen Bell and Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It, available on major OTT devices, mobile and the web.

"Popcornflix has a loyal audience that we are now rewarding with exclusive films that they can call their own," says David Fannon, Executive Vice President at Popcornflix.

The 2013 dramedy The Lifeguard follows a woman shortly before her thirtieth birthday moving back to her childhood home, where she reassumes her old job as a lifeguard and starts a dangerous relationship with a teenager. The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and Kristen Bell's "sensitive and complex" (Rogerebert.com) performance has widely been lauded.

Don't Legalize It is the third movie of the campy Canadian comedy franchise Trailer Park Boys, portraying three petty felons who live in a trailer park. The prequel films are also available on Popcornflix. Other exclusive movies include The Last Showing with Robert Englund, 2012's SXSW Audience Award nominee Ritual and 2012 family movie The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure.
