3 Popular Hulu Movies and TV Shows to Binge-Watch (December 27-28)

Maravi Post Reporter

The Huludays aren’t quite over on Hulu just yet, as the selection of films and series on the site’s top 15 list is dominated by Christmas flicks to a ridiculous degree.

At the moment, the first two Home Alone movies are occupying the No. 1 and No. 2 slots. But since Christmas has passed, we have other recommendations in mind.

Watch With Us‘ three popular movies and TV shows to binge-watch this weekend only include one Christmas-adjacent film.

Our other picks include a newly arrived film from theaters and a TV show for anyone who loves science fiction.

New on Hulu in December 2025 — The Full List of Movies, TV Shows and Holiday Specials

‘The Life of Chuck’ (2025)

The Life of Chuck is a Stephen King adaptation that’s very different from his horror stories or serious dramas that have made it to the screen before. Instead, this is more like a fantasy that surrounds Charles “Chuck” Krantz (Tom Hiddleston), an ordinary accountant who is somehow the most important man in the world during the final days of existence itself.

Chuck’s life is explored in reverse order, as Jacob Tremblay, Benjamin Pajak and Cody Flanagan play him at earlier stages in his life. In the present, Marty Anderson (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his ex-wife, Felicia (Karen Gillan), are mystified by the tribute messages to Chuck even as the world is overcome by natural disasters. Who is Chuck, and why is he such a pivotal figure? You’ll find out if you watch it.

The Life of Chuck is streaming on Hulu.

‘Fringe’ (2008 – 2013)

If you’re old enough to remember when the concepts of The X-Files were new and amazing, then Fringe might be the show for you. This series debuted on Fox 17 years ago, but its approach to episodic and serialized storytelling still feels modern. This show also shies away from any supernatural or paranormal incidents in favor of mad science unleashed on a world that isn’t ready for it. Anna Torv plays FBI Agent Olivia Dunn, a woman who is assigned to the agency’s Fringe division to investigate unexplainable crimes against science and humanity.

Better Than ‘The X-Files’? Hulu Just Added One of My Favorite Sci-Fi TV Shows Ever

To make sense of her new cases, Olivia negotiates the release of Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), a man who created many wild innovations before he was institutionalized. Walter’s estranged son, Peter (Joshua Jackson), reluctantly joins Olivia’s Fringe team as well. And Peter turns out to be far more important to the unfolding mysteries than anyone initially suspects, including Peter himself.

Fringe is streaming on Hulu.

‘Die Hard’ (1988)

Die Hard is currently one of the only non-traditional Christmas movies in Hulu’s top 15. But unlike the other movies, we can watch John McClane (Bruce Willis) kick terrorist butt any day of the year. This film is closing in on its 40th anniversary, and yet it still puts many modern action flicks to shame with its thrilling sequences, compelling characters and memorable performances from Willis and the rest of the cast.

The late Alan Rickman is particularly riveting as Hans Gruber, the leader of a group of terrorists/thieves who seize control of Nakatomi Tower on Christmas Eve. All of the company’s employees are taken hostage, including John’s estranged wife, Holly Gennaro-McClane (Bonnie Bedelia). By sheer luck, John eludes capture and alerts the police about the hostage situation. But with no help forthcoming from the LAPD, this New York cop is going to take matters into his own hands.

Monastir Tops Sahara, Kriol Star Advances

Maravi Post Reporter

US Monastir have emerged as champions of the Sahara Conference in the 2025 Basketball Africa League (BAL), closing their campaign at Dakar Arena in Senegal with four wins and two losses.

The Tunisian side secured their place in the playoffs alongside Angola’s Petro de Luanda — but it was Kriol Star of Cape Verde who delivered the tournament’s biggest surprise.

In a dramatic final group-stage clash, Kriol Star shocked defending champions Petro Luanda, notching a third victory that sealed their unlikely spot in the BAL playoffs. The upset has cemented their status as this year’s breakout team.

“I feel good, I feel great,” said Kriol Star center Lewis Igho Uvwo (A.T.R.O.S.). “I didn’t think we’d win today, but I just played with all my heart. Big love to the fans, the people in Cape Verde, everyone watching from home — thank you for your support.”

The mood was far more somber for host club ASC Ville de Dakar. After an impressive start — including wins over both Monastir and Petro — the Senegalese team faltered in the final stretch, ending their run with a disappointing loss to Monastir, their fourth in the tournament.

“When I talk about disappointment, it’s about the way we started,” said ASC head coach Libasse Faye. “We thought we were on course for a great campaign. But we were caught out — both in results and in our game.”

With Monastir, Petro Luanda, and Kriol Star now advancing, they join Egypt’s Al Ittihad of Alexandria and Nigeria’s Rivers Hoopers in the next stage. The remaining three playoff slots will be filled after the Nile Conference, scheduled to take place in Kigali from May 17 to 25.

How to beat the slots: Tips and tricks to help you win big

Maravi Post Reporter

– –

Slots are one of the most popular casino games and they offer players the chance to win big. However, they can also be very difficult to beat. If you’re looking for tips and tricks on how to beat the slots, then you’ve come to the right place.

Here are some tips and tricks that will help you win big at the slots:

– Play with a plan: Before you start playing the slots, it’s important that you have a plan. You need to know how much money you’re willing to spend at the online casino and how much you want to win.  Some casinos will often offer huge bonuses, so if you are operating on a limited budget, going for them will be your best option.

– Choose your machine carefully: Not all slot machines are created equal. Some machines are more likely to pay out than others. Do your research and choose a machine that has a good payout history.

– Play max coins: When you play slots, you should always play max coins. This increases your chances of winning the jackpot.

– –

– Take advantage of bonuses: Many casinos offer bonuses for playing the slots. These bonuses can increase your chances of winning big.

– Walk away when you’re ahead: One of the most important things to remember when playing slots is to walk away when you’re ahead. Don’t get greedy and try to win more than you can afford to lose.

How to pick the right online slots game for you

If you have a limited budget, you may want to stick to free online slots games. There are plenty of these to choose from and they can be a great way to get started with online gambling. However, if you have a little more money to spend, you may want to try out some of the paid online slots games.

If you’re a beginner, it’s probably a good idea to start with a simple game. Once you get the hang of it, you can move on to more complicated games.  If you’re an experienced player, you might want to try something more challenging.

– –

Finally, think about what type of slots you prefer. Do you like the traditional three-reel slots or the more modern five-reel video slots? Do you prefer games with lots of bonus features or ones that are simpler and easier to understand?

The most common mistakes made when betting on online slots

-Not knowing the odds: Each slot machine has its own set of odds, so it’s important to know what they are before you start playing. The higher the jackpot, the lower the odds of winning it.

-Not using a budget: It’s important to set aside a certain amount of money that you’re willing to spend on slots before you start playing. Once you reach your budget, stop playing. This will help you avoid spending more money than you can afford to lose.

-Playing without a strategy: Finally, people sometimes play online slots without any sort of strategy. They just spin the reels and hope for the best. While this can be fun, it’s not the best way to win money.

Myths and facts about slots – busting the common myths

Myth #1: Slot machines are programmed to pay out at certain times

Slot machines are random, meaning that they can pay out at any time. The only thing that determines when a slot machine will pay out is the Random Number Generator (RNG), which is a computer program that generates random numbers.

Myth #2: Casinos can control how often a slot machine pays out

The RNG makes sure that every spin on a slot machine is completely random and independent from the previous spin. This means that casinos have no control over when a slot machine will pay out.

Myth #3: You need to bet max to win the jackpot
While it is true that some jackpots can only be won by betting max, there are also many jackpots that can be won by betting less than max. It all depends on the specific game you are playing.

Winning at slots, just like other gaming. This means it depends on chances and you shouldn’t have your emotions vested when playing.

Slots No Deposit to play

Maravi Post Reporter
– –

The modern online slot industry has proven itself time and time again to be incredibly good at revolutionising itself, with developers such as NetEnt, Big Time Gaming and Play N GO proving themselves to be pioneers in this field, with a steady torrent of new games that are consistently innovative and exciting – click to join and play.

When you consider how good these developers have got at crafting genuinely incredible online slot games it is no wonder that there are so many online slot gamblers in the world today either. 

Whilst all kinds of slots are pretty damn popular these days, slots no deposit are probably the most popular, purely because they don’t require a large initial deposit to spin the reels on them. There are various online casino sites offering slots with no deposit to play these days, and if you read on you can find out about some of the best slots with no deposit you can play in the 21st century. 

Beach Life 

There are few places in this world better than a good old-fashioned sunny beach, and that is why Playtech have created Beach Life, one of the most uplifting and feel good slots on the market at the moment. The aesthetic with Beach Life is pretty much exactly what you would think it is – a colourful sunny beach, with symbols available on the 5×3 reel configuration like ice lollies, sand castles, wild suns and smoking hot beach babes. 

And you know what else? The real headline news here is that Beach Life has a progressive jackpot that is obtainable if you have the good fortune to win the Wild combination whilst betting with the maximum stake. Has the beach ever been so lucrative? We really don’t think so.

Thunderstruck II 

– –

When Microgaming brought out the original Thunderstruck online slot game many slot aficionados were hailing it as the best game to ever come out of the slots industry, so it is no surprise that the online slot developing powerhouse has now created Thunderstruck II. The Viking mythology theme returns here, however Microgaming have also thrown in upgraded HD graphics, as well as a variety of new bonus features too. 

This slot works on a classic 5 reel grid configuration, and with 243 different ways to win there are more than enough opportunities to win big. If you are lucky enough to encounter 5 wildstorm icons in a row you can trigger a 7,000x multiplier jackpot, which means that Thunderstruck II is even more lucrative than its predecessor. We weren’t sure whether the original Thunderstruck could ever be topped, however Thunderstruck just about does it!

Reasons why online slots have become a cool hobby in 2020

Maravi Post Reporter

– –

Hobbies are many and varied and some take up more time than others. During the recent lockdown, the public got to indulge in their hobbies far more than usual.

Gardening was the number one hobby as people got out into the summer sunshine and got some fresh air and much needed exercise.

Others caught up with some DIY whilst others preferred a more relaxing experience that included box set marathons. 

Gambling Advertising 

You may have been aware of the increase in advertising of major gambling brands during the lockdown.

What was unusual about this was that the adverts were not about the games or the casinos themselves, in fact the focus was solely on responsible gambling and there is a surprising reason behind this.

– –

Slots at kingcasino are already the most popular form of gambling out there and reasons for this include, accessibility, simplicity and of course the entertainment factor. 

During the national lockdown there was a mass uptake in the numbers of people passing the time gambling on slot games. This caused much concern amongst charities and the government.

Casinos were advised to reinforce the responsible gambling message and all casinos were forced to speed up their withdrawal process. This led to many casinos ditching the pending period that is placed on the withdrawal of winnings.

However, even before the lockdown, slots were and still are a hugely popular hobby that many people regularly enjoy. 

Mainstream Gambling 

– –

Gambling on slots is no longer the social taboo it used to be; in fact it has become the acceptable face of the gambling industry. It is seen as a bit of fun, that is enjoyed by both males and females a like.

Slot sites are regularly advertised on television and many gambling brands sponsor popular TV shows and channels such as Film Four. Some individuals have taken this hobby to the next level and regularly stream their slots exploits on You Tube.

Admittedly, some of the staking is outrageous and only players with huge casino bankrolls would even contemplate spinning the reels at £40 plus a spin. 

Beyond 2020 

Slots will continue to be seen as a cool hobby beyond 2020 and this is because they continue to offer an alternative form of entertainment that people enjoy.

There is great variety in slots games out there and the games just get bigger and better. When times are hard there is extra need for self control when playing these games as they do offer escapist entertainment that the world needs right now. 

When you think that the revenue from slots was £2 billion last year and 39% percent of slots players were female, slots will continue to be seen as a cool pastime by many, way beyond this year.

Slots tick all the right boxes and you can play whether out and about, or locked down during a national crisis. The anonymity slots gambling offers punters only adds to the coolness of slots playing as a major hobby amongst the public of many countries across the globe.
