Hulu this week (December 1-7. 2024) plans to add 117 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

Bad Actor: A Hollywood Ponzi Scheme (2024)
Zachary Horwitz, aka Zach Avery (it’s never good when someone has an aka), was a two-bit actor in Hollywood who was able to con hundreds of millions of dollars from investors by falsely claiming to have the rights to dozens of films. He then proceeded to spend the ill-gotten gains on everything from a $6 million home to a multi-million dollar American Express bill. This documentary shows how he did it and why the investors were so easily fooled. Debuts Tuesday, December 3. 

Wild Crime: Eleven Skulls
Season four of this true crime series will focus on the serial killer Israel Keyes who was responsible for an untold number of cold-blooded killings across the nation a decade ago. This four-part season explains in chilling detail how he did it without leaving a trace. (Note: Seasons one to three of Wild Crime are now available on Hulu.) Debuts Thursday, December 5.

Gladiator (2000)
With Gladiator II in theaters smashing box office records, here’s your chance to catch the original 2000 film starring Russell Crowe as a Roman general who is cast into slavery after a betrayal by the emperor’s son (Joaquin Phoenix). Directed by Ridley Scott, Gladiator is a powerful cinematic feast for the eyes and mind with a legacy-making performance from Crowe. Debuts Sunday, December 1.
