Is Hulu better for movies or TV shows?

Hulu built its name on next-day network TV, but the film side is deeper than people expect: FX productions, recent theatrical releases, and a steady rotation of indies and horror.

How do I find a movie on Hulu that everyone will actually watch?

Instead of scrolling Hulu's hubs one by one, start a PickFlix room with Hulu selected. The group swipes through one curated deck and the highest-voted title is your movie night.

Why does Hulu's movie selection change every month?

Hulu leans harder on licensing deals than most services, so batches of films arrive and leave around the first of each month. This page tracks what's popular right now rather than a stale list.

Does PickFlix cost anything on top of my Hulu plan?

Nothing. PickFlix is free; any Hulu plan works, since the ad-free tier changes the commercials, not which movies you can stream.
