Hulu to Add 78 New Titles This Week – Here’s My 3 Most Interesting

Hulu this week (October 27-November 2, 2024) plans to add 78 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

La La Land (2016)
La La Land is guaranteed to lift your spirits and perhaps your feet as well. Directed by Damien Chazelle, the film stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a struggling jazz pianist and actress respectively in cold-hearted Los Angeles. However, their dreams fuel a zest for life that keeps them on their toes, literally and figuratively. A throwback to the great MGM musicals of the 1940s, La La Land is a feast for the eyes (and the soul) and was wholly worthy of its Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Debuts November 1.

The Best And Worst U.S. Presidents Complete Season 1
What’s a better choice for Halloween day than this show on which U.S. presidents a panel of scary intellectuals say are the best and worst ever. Of course, the selections will be steeped in the biases of the scary intellectuals, but it still should be interesting to see who they pick and why. Debuts Halloween, October 31.

White Men Can’t Jump (1992)
Starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, White Men Can’t Jump tells the story of two street basketball hustlers in Venice Beach who form an unlikely partnership. With its mix of humor and social commentary, this film challenges stereotypes and celebrates the love of the game. And, guess what, Woody Harrelson actually has game. Definitely watch this version and not the Hulu remake with Jack Harlow. Debuts November 1.
