Paul is beaming down to Tubi soon
A UFO road trip turns into R-rated sci-fi chaos with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Seth Rogen riding shotgun.
Remind MePaul arrived in 2011 with a very clear mission: take two British sci-fi obsessives, send them across America's UFO country, and drop the most casual alien imaginable into the passenger seat. It is a road-trip comedy built by people who clearly love the movies, myths, and fan culture they are riffing on.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost play Graeme and Clive, friends chasing every close-encounter landmark they can find. Then Paul shows up, voiced by Seth Rogen as a fugitive extraterrestrial with zero interest in acting mysterious. Suddenly the trip is part buddy comedy, part government chase, part love letter to every alien movie that ever made you scan the night sky.
Paul is coming to Tubi soon. If your ideal sci-fi comedy has conspiracy energy, sharp banter, and one tiny alien causing grown adults to unravel, start making room on the list.
The Cast
Simon Pegg
Pegg plays Graeme Willy, the softer half of the road-trip duo. He brings a fan's wide-eyed awe to every extraterrestrial turn, which makes the absurdity feel sweet instead of smug. Graeme wants proof the universe is bigger. Then it answers back.
Nick Frost
Frost plays Clive Gollings, Graeme's best friend and creative partner in sci-fi obsession. Clive is louder, pricklier, and hilariously unprepared for the thing he has always dreamed about. Frost gives him panic, loyalty, and a heart that keeps sneaking through.
Seth Rogen
Rogen voices Paul with the exact energy of a cosmic burnout who has seen humanity up close and decided to clown on it anyway. The performance works because Paul feels casual, sharp, and oddly lovable, not like a creature stuck in a joke machine.
Kristen Wiig
Wiig plays Ruth Buggs, whose sheltered life gets cracked open by the road trip's strangest passenger. She turns Ruth's confusion into a burst of comic freedom, giving the movie one of its most gleeful human wild cards.
“Pack snacks, trust no agent, and please act normal around the alien.”
Sneak Peek
Why Watch It
Paul hits a sweet spot: it knows the genre inside out, but it would rather throw snacks in the car and go joyriding than stand around admiring references. The fun comes from how casual the alien is. He is not a glowing prophet. He is a mouthy little troublemaker who has opinions, survival skills, and no patience for anyone's dramatic pause.
That makes it a strong pick for comedy fans who like their sci-fi with dirt on its boots. The movie has chase scenes, secret agents, Comic-Con afterglow, and plenty of R-rated verbal shrapnel, but its secret weapon is friendship. Graeme and Clive's bond keeps the whole thing warm even when the situation gets deeply strange.
Add Paul to your list before it lands on Tubi. This one is for anyone who has ever believed the truth is out there, then hoped the truth would also be funny.
