The Eyes of Tammy Faye is streaming for free — if you’ve got cable. FX NOW, the platform that hosts the film, is offering it at no cost to subscribers of major providers like Spectrum, Verizon, DirecTV, and Xfinity. The catch? You need a live TV subscription. No cable? Then you’re out of luck unless you’re willing to pay $3.99 to rent or $14.99 to buy on Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV. That’s the current state of access, just days after Jim Bakker’s death sparked renewed interest in the 2021 biopic. Jessica Chastain won an Oscar for her portrayal of Tammy Faye, and the film took home another for Best Makeup & Hairstyling. It grossed just $2.6 million worldwide, a modest return for a movie that premiered in the post-pandemic theater slump. Still, its legacy lingers, not just in awards, but in how audiences now seek it out. Some are watching in Hungarian dub. Others are heading to JFF Theater in Japan for free screenings of related films starting October 7. But here, the real question isn’t whether the movie’s worth seeing. It’s who gets to see it. And who doesn’t. The stream is free, but only for those already paying for something else. And that’s the new normal.
