Hulu - Streaming Recs

[MontuckyFried]

We already have good threads for Netflix and Amazon Prime so thought we were overdue for a Hulu one.

Anyway, wife and I just watched Demolition Man this weekend. What a fun early 90s over the top action flick. I remember thinking it was kinda cheesy when I saw it in theaters back in '93 but revisiting it, it's actually held up REALLY well and is a ton of fun. When I was young, I didn't realize that the campiness was intentional, so it definitely has a bit more charm now that I get what they were going for (much like Starship Troopers). Now that we're also in a germophobic society these days, I cracked up at a ton of stuff in it.

So many hilarious little details in there. Highly recommended for a rewatch if you haven't seen it since the 90s. I rate it 3 seashells out of 3.

Who here uses Hulu? What do you recommend?

Letterkenny and It's always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Hamilton's Pharmacopeia is a pretty interesting documentary series.

LITTLE MONSTERS
If you dig irreverent Zom Coms in the vein of Shaun of the Dead or Anna and the Apocalypse or Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, then this overlooked little gem is seriously worth a watch:

I may have to sign up for Hulu just for this:

I’ve been binging “Lost”. Watched it when it was on ABC years ago...was interested in watching it again.

My only gripe with Hulu (I got the Disney+ bundle).....is I didn’t realize it had commercials....which kinda sucks.

If you are willing to pay more, you can get add-free Hulu.

Couple episodes of Seinfeld can feel like the good old days of cable reruns.

Yeah...I just assumed the bundle I signed up for had the ad-free Hulu. I was wrong..oh well.

I watched ads on Hulu for a month or two, until I got sick of that and finally ponied up.

Last night, the wife and I watched "Colossal" with Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis on Hulu. Indie film that was a fun spin on the kaiju genre. Worth a watch if you want a movie with a bit of monster fun but your lady might actually enjoy. Wife is NOT into Godzilla or anything like that but really enjoyed this one. More of a dramedy than an action movie so view it with that lens in mind and you might like it!

That film was a mixed bag for me.
Promoted as a light-hearted fantasy, yet it is teeming with some seriously heavy emotional content.
To wit, you seem to have overlooked (or perhaps you just missed?) the creepy sexual assault subtext...

Haha. Yeah. The advertising was certainly misleading. Hate it when they do that. Also why I love watching movies I've never paid attention to the promotions for. I usually enjoy movies more when I have no idea what I'm in for.

I liked Palm Springs. Pretty much a millennial Groundhog Day rom-com, but I thought Cristin Milioti was cute.

Agreed! That was a fun one. If you like Andy Samberg's/Lonely Island's humor, you'll like this one. I thought Samberg and Milioti had great chemistry. Especially in that scene where they do the choreographed bit in the bar.

THE WHISTLERS
if you are a fan of good, old-fashioned Noir, then The Whistlers may be up your alley. It delivers a wonderfully exotic and esoteric update on the familiar tropes of the genre. To wit, there is the rube of a protagonist, a sexy femme fatale, ruthless gangsters, and crooked cops. In this case the action takes place on the Canary Islands and in Romania and revolves around a large sum of cash and the mysterious language of Silbo-Gomera and unfolds in a moderately intricate non-linear fashion.
In Spanish, Romanian, English, and El Silbo, so it is judiciously subtitled.
