History
Since its launch in 2019, Unstreamable has covered over 400 films and TV shows unavailable to watch on streaming services. (Find the full list at the bottom of this page.) KUOW and NPR have featured Unstreamable and its creators, Jas Keimig and Chase Burns, on their stations. Unstreamable has hosted screenings at Pickford Film Center, SIFF, Northwest Film Forum, and Grand Illusion Cinema. Originally published by The Stranger, the column now lives on Scarecrow Video’s blog. Unstreamable advocates for the weird, horny, and forgotten.

Our Big List of Unstreamable Films
The Fine Print: Unstreamable means we couldn’t find it on Netflix, Hulu, Shudder, Disney+, or any of the other hundreds of streaming services available in the United States. We also couldn’t find it available for rent or purchase through platforms like Prime Video or iTunes. We don’t consider films on sites that interrupt with commercial breaks, like Tubi, to be streamable. Tubi is like Neu Cable. And yes, we know you can find many things online illegally, but we don’t consider user-generated videos, like unauthorized YouTube uploads, to be streamable.
Each title was Unstreamable when we wrote about it. That doesn’t mean it’s Unstreamable right now. Things change.
