You can now watch The Interview online. Here’s where you can stream it.

Sony Pictures' controversial comedy film The Interview is now available for streaming online.

The Interview, which stars Seth Rogen and James Franco on a mission to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, has sparked widespread controversy for its premise, including terrorist threats against movie chains that were planning to show the film and a massive cyberattack against Sony Pictures. As a result, several theater chains backed out from debuting the film on Christmas day.

In a move that sidesteps these online threats, The Interview is now available for digital rental or purchase on Google Play, YouTube, Xbox and seetheinterview.com. It costs $5.99 to rent or $14.99 to purchase, both in high definition. Way to listen to our idea, Sony.

“It has always been Sony’s intention to have a national platform on which to release this film.” said Sony Entertainment chairman Michael Lynton of the decision to make the film available on YouTube and other sites. He added, “With that in mind, we reached out to Google, Microsoft and other partners last Wednesday, December 17, when it became clear our initial release plans were not possible. We are pleased we can now join with our partners to offer the film nation-wide today.”

For those who refuse to give into terrorist demands, The Interview still will release on Christmas Day in select theaters.

Suck it, terrorists.
