Every other day this movie exists in 1950?

I've noticed the strangest thing.
I've been doing "Discover" API calls in the range 1950-01-01 to 1950-01-01 (a single day). I do this API call every day, and I've been expecting identical results.
On odd days, the movie https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/144441-kogda-zazhigaunsya-elki is included, and on even days, it's not. It's not exactly odd/even, but it seems to switch about every 1-2 days, and then be consistent for the rest of that day. It definitely keeps changing. This has been going on for several months.
What is special about https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/144441-kogda-zazhigaunsya-elki and why is it only happening for this movie?

I have a theory as to why this is happening but don't have time to look at it for a bit. I think it's to do with the precision of the system timer rounding the datetime call. We're talking low level stuff here, sub milliseconds rounding up or down.
