If you’re a Hulu subscriber, then you should be very happy with the streamer’s lineup in June.
This month, Hulu has a stacked library of movies, original films and series, as well as The Bear season 4 at the end of June.
For this weekend, the Watch With Us team has selected three of the popular Hulu movies and TV shows that you should watch right now.
Our choices include a new documentary that hit No. 1 on Hulu’s chart, an incredibly satisfying animated sci-fi movie and a 1994 superhero flick that’s having a resurgence on the streamer.
A Viking, a ninja, a samurai and a World War II pilot never quite make it into a bar so I can finish this joke. But all four of them have to face the deadliest species in the galaxy in Predator: Killer of Killers. This animated anthology from the director of Prey, Dan Trachtenberg, is only loosely connected to that great prequel film. But it does shed some light on what the Predators are like in their own culture, and what happens to anyone who dares to beat them on their own terms.
Although the stories of Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), Kenji & Kiyoshi Kamakami (Louis Ozawa) and John J. Torres (Rick Gonzalez) are separated by centuries, there is a surprising connection between all three of their segments. If this film is indicative of where the Predator franchise is going, then things look very promising for the next live-action movie, Predator: Badlands, which will arrive in theaters in early November.

‘The Mask’ (1994)Why is a superhero comedy from three decades ago charting on Hulu? Because The Mask is fantastic, and the jokes still hold up 31 years later. Jim Carrey had a breakout year in 1994, and his hilarious turn as the title character in The Mask went a long way towards making him a major star in the industry.
Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a hapless bank teller who stumbles upon the mask of Loki, which brings out the true persona of everyone who wears it. When Stanley puts on the mask, he practically becomes a living cartoon character straight out of Looney Tunes. Cameron Diaz had her first major role in this film as Tina Carlyle, the girlfriend of mobster Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene). Stanley could never court Tina on his own, but as The Mask, he’s insatiable, and she can’t resist his charms.

‘Call Her Alex’ (2025)
If you know the name Alex Cooper, it’s probably because you either listen to her hit podcast, Call Her Daddy, or you’re aware of it. Cooper is also the subject of Hulu’s two-part documentary series, Call Her Alex, which chronicles her journey from a Division 1 soccer player to one of the most influential podcasters in the world.
The documentary doesn’t really dwell on Cooper’s split with her former co-host, Sofia Franklyn. But Cooper does share some harrowing stories about her time as a college athlete and the sexual harassment she suffered under her coach. Cooper’s account is also backed up by some of her former teammates, and those experiences played a large role in shaping her outlook on the podcast.
