Two underrated modern classics on FTA tonight, 1986 teen crime drama Rivers Edge starring a very young Keanu Reeves, “Back To The Future” star Crispin Glover & the late great Dennis Hopper on NITV and 1994 romantic drama Reality Bites starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke & Ben Stiller (also director) on 7Bravo.

IIRC, this is the first time 9GO! Has aired a Disney/Pixar film since 2019 after Channel 9’s deal with Disney ended as they had a placeholder deal to have the Disney/Pixar/Marvel Studios films on STAN in 2018/19 before Disney+ launched in Australia in November of that year.

I hadn’t seen this before, but apparently it’s been in use on at least this movie since its 2005 remaster… As seen on 7flix tonight (also an old network file) the 80s Columbia opening logo but with the late 90s fanfare, it was somewhat jarring, so strange, yet oddly fits . Stripes (1981).
This was it:

I think it’s a decent enough movie, let down by some corny dialog. But the overall storyline is pretty good. Action and special effects are good (looks so-so on normal tv having seen the FTA broadcast version previously. But they are stellar on bluray and 4K).
Worth a watch, I might just put my physical copy on to avoid the commercials

I remember this was one of the last movies that was at the old earlier time on Seven during Saturdays of 8:30pm / 9pm and with a promo (now very rare or non-existant in both cases).
Since COVID, the first movie now starts at 7:30pm (instead of 7pm after the news), with Border at 7pm, pushing the next movie out to closer to 10pm, but is often later.
The night it premiered, early 2021 IIRC, was also affected in some markets (in some cases never aired or even again) by a major news event, I feel it was a Royal death. The other movies or premieres around this week(s) were the first runs of the God awful Holmes vs Watson, Storm Boy, A Dogs Way Home and a Walt Disney re-run of Maleficent.

The two Storm Boy movies (original and remake) head-to-head tonight in the same timeslot, a cheeky bit of programming, on NITV and 7flix respectively.

Seems a bit late for a kids movie especially in this day and age?

I think it would otherwise be on 9Go! at 7:30pm, if not for sports telecast commitments with NRL (9Gem) and therefore French Open (9Go!) in Melbourne

With Space Invaders and Jeopardy now finished, Nine return to movies (in-line with Seven notwithstanding AFL) from 7:30pm after ACA this Saturday on the main channel, save for occasional market variations (e.g.) Rugby Union in Sydney or Brisbane instead of 9Gem.
Also another Walt Disney-Pixar title with Inside Out (2015), airing on Nine for the first time like Friday’s Finding Dory, previously on Seven, both premiered in 2018 at the tail-end of Seven’s old Disney output, last renewed around 2014-2015.
In time for Inside Out 2, coming soon to cinemas, most liekly a program sponsorship with Disney Australia/NZ advertising during its run.
It’ll be followed at 9:30pm by often repeated but viewer favourite Four Weddings, also 30min ahead of Seven’s Monster Hunter (which is doubtful to come close anyway).
Meanwhile, Seven will be airing a Jurassic Park marathon starting this Saturday, having got rights back from Nine where they regularly aired including 9Go and consistently did well, with their current NBC-U agreement and will now be available on 7Plus.
