Brollie will be the first streaming platform specialising in Australian film and TV content when it launches on November 23. Viewers of all ages can expect to be entertained and inspired by more than 300 titles ready to stream, including the 2014 psychological thriller Babadook, and the 1999 crime flick Two Hands starring Heath Ledger, Bryan Brown and Rose Byrne.

The platform also offers a special selection of Indigenous Australian films, as well as must-sees such as the 1983 action BMX Bandits starring a young Nicole Kidman, the 1999 drama Erskineville Kings starring Hugh Jackman, and the 2000 horror Cut starring Kylie Minogue.

And what’s even better? Much of the content won’t be available to stream on other platforms.

Umbrella Entertainment general manager Ari Harrison said: 'We know these iconic films and TV shows can find new and old audiences instead of gathering dust on the shelf. Brollie is about helping Aussies to access this world-class storytelling easily and, most importantly, for free, so everyone can enjoy our epic screen legacy.'

Crime flicks such as Two Hands starring Heath Ledger and Rose Byrne will be available too! Image: Facebook.

Subscribers of Brollie can also take part in the Brollie Film Club, where viewers get two best picks each month full of special features usually confined to DVD extras.

And it’s super easy to access! Brollie will be available on Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Chromecast and via browser at the Brollie website.

In the sea of oversaturated global streaming platforms, Brollie's dedicated focus on native content could thus be a welcome relief and a chance to champion and relish local storytelling.

Add free !!! That sounds good I'm hoping it's not free until everyone loves it and then told they need to start charging.

No commercials , that's interesting and no charge , how are they able to do it .

Sounds very good

It does have ads, it comes to you free. It is like all the free to air channels.

There has to be a catch these days, there is nothing for nothing. If it looks to good it's usually not good

 

[trakn]

Add free !!! That sounds good I'm hoping it's not free until everyone loves it and then told they need to start charging.

No commercials , that's interesting and no charge , how are they able to do it .

Sounds very good

Not ad free. Free add based

 

[Wayneo]

The post states its add free.

has announced the launch of Brollie – a free ad-based streaming service packed with

so is this meaning its free with adds or is add free. Because the cost isn't free . A bit confusing

It’s adds based

 

[mylittletibbies]

It's not ad free, it states "free ADD BASED, that means it's free to the viewer, but is "ad based" meaning their income is from ads. That's how they can offer it free.
If my memory serves me correct, isn't that how Foxtel first started out, many, many years ago. Now they are one of the dearest.

 

[Suzanne rose]

It’s adds based

Then what's free ? Bit confusing

 

[mylittletibbies]

Then what's free ? Bit confusing

It's free to you, but you'll probably be driven bananas with ads.

 

[Wayneo]

Then what's free ? Bit confusing

Yes it could have been worded better it got me to to watch content is free

 

[mylittletibbies]

It's free to you, but you'll probably be driven bananas with ads.

But it's not free, it's $2 a month then after 3 months it's $18 . It's a little confusing

Really, that's not what it says, I agree it is confusing
I'm not really interested so it doesn't worry me one way or another, I don't have any pay TV

 

[KatKop]

Breaker Morant

Breaker Morant screened on SBS earlier this week and is available on SBS on Demand (if you don't want to wait for Brollie).

 

[Stevo114]

Free but as someone said the ads will send you nuts. I have both Tubi and a US platform called Freevee - they have all the great old shows from the 1950s to 1970s. Think Gilligan, Dobie Gillis, Dick Van Dyke, Car 54, The Waltons, Little House, Bonanza, Good Times. And great docos of the bands of that era.

Great quality and easy access but ads come from nowhere (sometimes in the middle of a sentence) and will more often than not be 2 mins.

If you are reasonably patient its a treasure trove of free stuff.

 

[Suzanne rose]

Really, that's not what it says, I agree it is confusing
I'm not really interested so it doesn't worry me one way or another, I don't have any pay TV

Omg now I'm confusing everyone. I posted in wrong thread ️ that's what having the flu does to you
