Pride Across America
- The live event streams on Hulu June 30
June is Pride Month, and Hulu is closing that celebration out with live stream coverage of three of the US’ biggest Pride parades: New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The stream will feature five hours of coverage, including live special guest interviews and inspiring stories.
Aliens (1986)
- The sci-fi classic lands on the streaming service July 1
Ahead of the release of Alien: Romulus in August, catch up with the first sequel of the sci-fi franchise, and for many people’s money the best of the entire series (depends really if you prefer Aliens‘ action or the more horror elements of the original).
Garden State (2004)
- Zach Braff’s beloved indie movie becomes available July 1
If you want a classic example of what an indie movie was like in the early/mid 2000s, there are few better options than Garden State. Braff’s movie helped solidify the indie stereotypes like its melancholic lead and “manic pixie dream girl,” plus it featured a soundtrack of indie music favorites. But looking past that, it is still a lovely movie about two people finding a connection and remains the pinnacle of Braff’s movie career.
Get Out (2017)
- Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning movie comes to stay at Hulu as of July 1
It’s hard to believe that it has already been seven years since the phenomenon of Get Out, but time really does fly. Winner of Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars, it’s always a good time to watch Jordan Peele’s horror masterpiece, and Hulu subscribers can do so easily starting this week.
SharkFest
- National Geographic-produced shark docs swim to Hulu on July 1
Hulu becomes shark-infested waters when a slate of National Geographic-produced docuseries from its Sharkfest 2024 programming arrives on the streaming service all at once. Among some of the highlights are Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie, Sharks Gone Viral and Shark vs Ross Edgley.
Super Troopers (2002)
- Classic cop comedy speeds onto Hulu starting July 1
If you want to watch Super Troopers right “meow,” then the place to do that is going to be on Hulu, as the comedy from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe arrives on the streaming service. Insanely quotable and laugh-out-loud funny, Super Troopers remains a comedy staple more than 20 years after its release.
20/20 True Crime Collection: Betrayed
- Binge a number of true crime docs starting July 5
Popular news program 20/20 has delivered countless engrossing documentaries on true crime and more over the years, but now Hulu subscribers can watch a collection of 20/20 specials all dealing with betrayal in one place.
The Monk and the Gun (2023)
- Acclaimed international movie debuts on July 5
Hailing from Bhutan, The Monk and the Gun is a 2023 movie that tells the story of an American collector who travels to Bhutan in search of a rare rifle and the young monk who is in possession of it. The movie made it onto the Oscar shortlist for Best International Film last year, thought it ultimately was not nominated.
