Tubi has introduced TubiFone, a toll-free hotline (1-833-605-TUBI) that suggests movies based on a caller's mood, as part of its new 'Find Any Feeling for Free' campaign. Callers select an emotional category and a recorded voice reads out five film recommendations with brief descriptions and cast details.
