Happy New Year! There are a bunch of familiar movies heading to Hulu this month.  Guess it's their way of helping us laugh off the stresses of 2020. January starts with the release of 3 in the Austin Powers series: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me Austin Powers: Goldmember  Four Kid's Movies include: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Shrek Frozen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Well that's 7 flicks you SHOULD watch on Hulu this month and now it's time for the 8th.  That's where it gets tough.  Hulu has three Star Trek flicks and a collection of Stephen King movies so I can't choose one so I recommend that everyone be on the lookout for some of your favorite Star Trek movies and some Stephen King classics including Cujo. These are just a sampling of some of the new flicks hitting Hulu and I can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds for us.   Do you have Hulu? What are you watching?
