FREE CULT TV

HULUBANNER


Has your cable been cut? Do you crave classic, obscure, quirky or pulpy programming? The still free web-service Hulu is here to help! The website is already well-known and well-loved for providing the public with access to new episodes of series such as Glee, Lost, Modern Family, and Saturday Night Live shortly after their initial broadcast, but Hulu also offers a back catalog of classics and cult-hits like:

-The live-action series The Tick, featuring Patrick Warburton
-The original The Outer Limits
-Seasons 4-7 of Married...With Children
-Several episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, including Horrors of Spider Island

Also worth perusing is their Film Department! Check out:

-Horror classic and Zombie genre-piece Night of the Living Dead.
-Akira Kurosawa's highly-acclaimed retelling of King Lear, Ran
-Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps
-British '60s sex-comedy The Knack...and How to Get It


Unfortunately due to different licensing terms and agreements, not all series and films are available all the time. Some titles are accessible for weeks or even months, others may expire once a series's season ends or once the new season begins. New titles are added frequently though, and while many of them are about as acclaimed as current offering Cheerleader Ninjas, some searching usually unearths something entertaining if not always edifying (though there are sections devoted to Documentary, Health and Wellness, News, and Food). Enjoy!
