Club Benefits
Hulu is a great streaming service for streaming new movies. Not only does it regularly add originals and classics to its library, but, because it's owned by Disney, it's the streaming home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It's the perfect place to start building your next movie marathon.
This weekend, I have three movies recently added to Hulu that are a must-watch. There's "We Bury the Dead," a 2025 zombie flick that was a big hit with critics. There's also "Hallow Road," a little-known movie from last year that became a favorite for one of our staff. But my top pick is "Philadelphia," a Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington legal drama that is an absolute must-watch.
Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022. He watches dozens of movies every year, and has already seen over 20 new releases this year.
'We Bury the Dead' (2025)
Genre: Zombie horror drama movie
What's it about? Daisy Ridley stars as Ava, a physiotherapist who is suddenly drawn into action when an American superweapon detonates off the Tasmanian coast. It not only destroys a city, but it renders the remaining inhabitants of the island brain dead (or undead!), potentially including Ava's husband Mitch.
Why you need to watch it: This movie is dark, with twists and turns you won't see coming. It's earned praise from most critics, particularly for Ridley's performance as Ava. It doesn't reinvent the zombie horror movie, but that doesn't mean it isn't a must-watch.

'Hallow Road' (2025)
Genre: Psychological horror movie
What's it about? This psychological horror film stars Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys as Maddie, a paramedic, and her husband Frank. This married couple lives a normal life, until one night, when they decide to attempt to help their daughter cover up the evidence of a car accident that she caused.
Why you need to watch it: In his review of "Hallow Road," TG's Rory Mellon declared the movie a "masterful chiller." He even ranked it in his top 10 favorite movies of 2025 (and he saw more than 110 movies in theaters last year). It's only 80 minutes long, so there's no reason to skip this one now that it's streaming on Hulu.

'Philadelphia' (1993)
Genre: Legal drama
What's it about? Andy Beckett (Tom Hanks) is a younger gay man who has just been fired as a senior associate from a prestigious Philadelphia law firm because he has AIDS. In fact, he's clearly already dying from it. But he still wants justice, and to get it, he hires Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), who would not describe himself as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, to say the least.
Why you should watch it: I just watched this movie as part of my ongoing Denzel Watchathon, and it blew me away. It's an incredible portrayal of the AIDS crisis and the struggles of gay men in 1990s America, and it's the only movie to feature Hanks and Denzel together. Read my review of "Philadelphia" and then stream this movie immediately once you're done.
