You know when a musician or an artist or an athlete is so very into it the whole thing kind of seeps off him or her at all times like bad perfume? Bruce Springsteen’s got this, and so did Michael Jordan, and so did the end of the movie “Taxi Driver.” You walk away thinking, “Man, [...]

Full disclosure:  I’m not much of a Grammys person.  I accepted a long time ago that most of the bands I love, no matter how talented and popular they are in my little corner of the Internet, will never be officially recognized for their craft with a diminutive gilded gramophone.  While most years I’d eschew [...]

When I showed up to work bleary eyed and feeling melodramatic a few days ago, I was embarrassed to admit that I hadn’t had any heartbreaking, deeply personal story to explain this away. Because the truth is that I had stayed up all night powering through the entire first season of Downton Abbey on Masterpiece [...]

I learned a few things during this year’s Super Bowl. 1) It’s really hard to dress for a Super Bowl party when both teams have the same colors. And, 2) I learned what it’s like to be a girl watching her boyfriend get beaten up, as I watched Tom Brady get repeatedly sacked in the [...]

PBS is dedicated to good stories, well told. Their viewers are passionate about what they have to offer – television that is smart, absorbing, informative and even addictive. It’s precisely the kind of content we look to bring to the Hulu Plus subscription service. This is true of Ken Burns’ fascinating documentary films, the sweeping [...]

Think back to what you know about Joe Frazier. You know he fought Muhammad Ali three times. You know he died a couple of months ago, sometime in November of last year. You know he was a great fighter, and you almost forgot about it until he died, when everybody decided to remember him again. [...]

Apple’s “1984” Super Bowl ad signaled a new era in personal computers, a revolt against a world portrayed as an Orwellian state dominated by IBM. It also ushered in a new era of Super Bowl advertising where viewers came to expect the ads to be almost as entertaining as the game itself. The ad, directed [...]

In “Revenge of the Electric Car” — available for free exclusively on Hulu for one week — director Chris Paine knew he had to position things a little differently than his 2006 documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car?” which centered on the demise of GM’s EV1. “It’s always a trick to how you structure a [...]

If you were a fashion designer, chances are you are living in New York City with a million other designers vying to get noticed. So what would you do if the chance of a lifetime were suddenly handed to you? If you were asked to explain who you are as a designer in five words [...]

More than a game, the Super Bowl is a cultural event, a truly American spectacle, and the ads are very much a part of the experience. Mix a big stage with big ambitions and budgets, and what you get are some memorable ads, as well some memorable misfires — not unlike the game itself. The [...]

With the playoff games behind us, Super Bowl XLVI is just around the corner, and we know it is time to get serious. After all, the days surrounding the big game are the one time we all go out of our way to watch — and talk about — commercials. That’s why we’re kicking off [...]

America’s love affair with Betty White has stood the test of seven decades. Our favorite funny-woman has more than one reason to celebrate this week – a sneak peek of her new show, “Off Their Rockers,” aired on NBC last night, along with a star-studded 90th birthday celebration. The show takes its cue from hidden-camera [...]

Before Ricky Gervais turns the Beverly Hilton into a repository of upset faces on Sunday night, we’ve decided to give you some help. We wanted to create the ultimate primer for winning petty bets with friends. When the camera pans to Mel Gibson quietly sobbing inside, you should be able to count up all of the [...]

We just closed the books on a big 2011 for Hulu.  As a team, we recently reflected on our 2011 investments in innovation and thought it would be an appropriate time to share some of those thoughts via this post. First, some results: - We grew the business 60% from 2010 to approximately $420 million in [...]

Other than the fact that he’s locked inside of a hotel indefinitely, Shawn Doyle’s character on “Endgame” seems like the prototype of human beings. Arkady Balagan has got whip-crack wit, a conversation-starter accent, and—a worldwide chess champion—he’s the smartest person in the room, regardless of the room. But, again, about that hotel thing. He’s the [...]
