Here’s Everything New On Hulu For January 2022

Hulu‘s ringing in the new year with one highly-anticipated sitcom remix and a handful of returning network TV shows that were sorely missed in 2021.

First up is Hilary Duff in How I Met Your Father and a Hulu original film called Sex Appeal. On the weekly-watch side of things, everything from Black-ish to This Is Us, Grownish, The Bachelor, and more are set to return. Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Hulu this month.

How I Met Your Father (Hulu Original series streaming 1/18)

Hilary Duff, Kim Cattrall, and Chris Lowell lead this gender-swapped spin-off of one of TV’s most beloved sitcoms. In this remix, Duff plays Sophie, a young woman living in New York City, looking for true love. Cattrall plays an older version of the character who happens to be narrating her misadventures while Lowell plays one of her friends also struggling with romance in the Big Apple.

Olivia Munn And John Mulaney Reportedly Welcomed A Baby Boy Before Thanksgiving

After stirring up tabloid headlines with their romance, Olivia Munn and John Mulaney reportedly welcomed a baby boy last month. The couple, who’ve done their best to maintain their privacy since news of their relationship broke, had kept the birth under wraps, but sources for TMZ confirm that Munn gave birth on November 24.

The child is the first for the couple, and his pending arrival was confirmed by Mulaney during a frank interview with his friend and late night host Seth Meyers. Mulaney and Munn’s relationship started shortly after the stand-up comedian left a stint a rehab, and there has been speculation over the timing of the relationship in regards to his divorce from Anna Marie Tendler.

“In the spring, I went to Los Angeles, and met and started to date a wonderful woman named Olivia – Olivia Munn,” Mulaney told Meyers. “And we’re having a baby together. I’m going to be a dad. We’re both really, really happy.”

With news of the baby out in the open, Munn stopped by The TODAY Show in early November where she opened up about her motherhood anxieties.

“I’m looking at everything I have to open up and it’s overwhelming. I don’t know how many of each item I need,” Munn told host Hoda Kotb. “Truly, I wish somebody could tell me, how many onesies, how many diapers? What’s the best rocker?”

Kotb put Munn at ease by sharing some advice from Maria Shriver on the only thing babies need. “To be looked at, to be listened to, to be talked to, to be made to feel secure.” Little did they know that advice would come in handy just three weeks later as Munn welcomed her son into the world.

Boldy James & The Alchemist Sneak In One More Release Before The Year Is Over With ‘Super Tecmo Bo’

Less than a minute to go, game on the line and Bo Jackson proceeds to just run circles around everybody for the win. Boldy James and The Alchemist have delivered their best NES Bo Jackson impression by sneaking in one final heater of an album in 2021 with the just-released Super Tecmo Bo. Earlier in 2021 the pair dropped one of Uproxx’s Best hip-hop Albums of the year in Bo Jackson. Our Aaron Williams ran those very same Bo-Jackson-like circles in describing it when he said: “Boldy stacks syllables like Jenga blocks, building precariously teetering constructs of assonant vowel sounds to the point you wonder how the whole thing supports its weight.”

Super Tecmo Bo picks up where its predecessor lets off and it’s streaming everywhere now. Listen to it here, check out the tracklist and NES cartridge-inspired album artwork below. Also check out Boldy James & The Alchemist’s Tour dates with Earl Sweatshirt and Action Bronson below.

Anti-Vax Crusader Robert F. Kennedy Blames His Wife (‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Star Cheryl Hines) For Vaccination Requirement To Enter His Home

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is one of the most prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists in the country so, naturally, the news that he asked guests to get the jab before attending his family’s annual holiday party this week comes as a bit of a shock.

Kennedy has spent the past year spreading misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine while growing his nonprofit, the Children’s Health Defense. While other charities have been struggling to fundraise during the pandemic, CHD has more than doubled its revenue from $3 million to $6.8 million with Kennedy enticing donors using his family connections and amassing followers with his anti-vax rhetoric. But, according to Politico, Kennedy is happy to abandon his anti-vax beliefs in favor of throwing a good party.

The outlet reported that invitations to a holiday bash at Kennedy’s California home “urged attendees to be tested or vaccinated beforehand.” When Politico reached out to Kennedy for comment, he blamed the vaccination request on his wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Cheryl Hines, stating that the part was for her industry friends and he wasn’t aware of what the invitations said.

“I guess I’m not always the boss at my own house,” Kennedy said before claiming that no one’s vaccination or testing records were checked before entering his home.

Kennedy’s feeble explanation for his party’s vaccine requirement is especially strange considering just last month he attended protests in Switzerland and Italy, spreading conspiracy theories about government officials and the death rate of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine before telling crowds, “I and many others are ready to die with our boots on for liberty.”

There’s no vaccine (or cure) for hypocrisy, not that Kennedy would take it anyway.

Lil Nas X Says He Has COVID And Symptoms Include Sneezing On His Penis While Watching Porn

A few days ago, Lil Nas X was forced to pull out of iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball Tour after members of his team tested positive for COVID. Now the rapper says that he himself has COVID and he’s dealing with it how he deals with most things: by joking.

Nas tweeted today, “now that i’m sure i won’t die from covid i will now begin making mildly funny jokes about having it.” He then fired off his first gag by referencing the Omicron/Omarion jokes that were making the rounds recently, writing, “i’m not sure whether i’ve had the omarion or alicia keys variant of covid but this has not been a fun journey.”

He continued, “i only talk to people who have covid now. u non-covid b*tches need to stfu. us coviders run this sh*t!” He then shared one of the symptoms he has experienced so far, tweeting, “covid really sucks. last night i was tryna watch porn then i sneezed snot all over penis lmao.”

All of the aforementioned tweets, aside from the sneezing one, have since been deleted.

Aside from COVID and the snot mishap, things have been good for Lil Nas X lately: He was named TikTok’s top artist of 2021 and Barack Obama included “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” on his list of favorite songs of the year.

‘Nightmare Alley’ Proves, If Nothing Else, That There Should Be More Movies About 1930s Carnies

In Guillermo Del Toro‘s latest movie, Nightmare Alley, Bradley Cooper plays Stanton Carlisle, a mysterious 1930s Don Draper who attempts to build a new life as a carnie. He befriends strongmen (Ron Perlman), electric ladies (Rooney Mara), gypsy women (Toni Collette), and the head honcho, Clem, played by Willem Dafoe, who keeps a man in a cage like an animal and feeds him live chickens. A “geek,” in carnie parlance.

Are you onboard yet? I sure was. Give me Willem Dafoe as an affably malevolent grifter every day and twice on Sunday. With the occasional notable exceptions like Water For Elephants and that X-Files episode about circus freaks, there’s been an unfortunate dearth of films set in the world of carnies in the past 20 years. Nightmare Alley belatedly scratches that itch, to see clannish petty conmen go from town to town fleecing rubes and emptying flasks, all while speaking a patois of folksy crime slang. Stan Carlisle joins up by trading Clem his radio for a job dismantling tents, eventually befriending a husband-and-wife team of mentalists, Zeena the Seer (Toni Collette) and her besotted husband, Pete (David Straithairn), who drops important knowledge on Stan whenever he’s not piss-pants drunk.

Stan learns how the sausage is made, but like Christian Bale’s character in The Prestige, seems to yearn for the kind of trick that isn’t really a trick. This even as Zeena and Pete warn him not to do “the spook show,” giving folks false hopes about their dead relatives (of which there are many, on account of it’s the 30s). I like to imagine this as a cautionary tale for actors, many of whom seem to become more and more convinced that they actually have superpowers the longer they play make-believe (Sean Penn’s William Holden in Licorice Pizza is the perfect example of this kind of character). It’s a form of irony poisoning, similar to the way advertising people can shift from knowingly peddling bullshit to believing that they’re doing a public service, a self-deception borne out of self-protection.

But of course, Stan is drawn to the spook show like rubes to a Tarot table and eventually he sets off on his own with the electric girl, played by Rooney Mara, to create a solo show. He hooks up with a diabolical psychologist played by Cate Blanchett, and you can probably imagine what happens from there, Stanley getting in too deep and so forth, though it takes an unnecessarily long time to play out. Nightmare Alley runs 150 minutes when 100 or so would’ve served it.

I haven’t wholeheartedly loved a Guillermo Del Toro movie probably since Pan’s Labyrinth, and in the end I don’t wholeheartedly love Nightmare Alley either, though it had me on the hook for a long time and even offers some late third act thrills. Del Toro is a refreshingly capable stylist, as he always is, but like Stanley himself, he seems to reach a point where he convinces himself that he’s doing more than making pulp. His facility with pulpy imagery gives his movies solid hooks, but they tend to fall flat when it comes time to break out of cartoon mode and offer something real and insightful. Well-done pulp is great, but the cardinal sin of pulp filmmaking is forgetting that it’s a grift. Del Toro, unfortunately, tries to do the spook show.

‘Nightmare Alley’ is available in theaters December 17th. Vince Mancini is on Twitter. You can check out his film review archive here.

Report: The NFL Will Reschedule Several Week 15 Games Because Of COVID Outbreaks

The NFL, like basically every other entity on earth right now, is dealing with a spike in COVID cases. The last week has been a seemingly never-ending stream of announcements that players are getting positive tests as part of the league’s COVID protocols, and as a result, the league had to come up with a way to move around its Week 15 schedule.

According to multiple media reports, three games involving a trio of teams that are in the midst of major COVID outbreaks are getting moved. Because of Cleveland’s team-wide COVID outbreak, the Browns’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders that was supposed to take place on Saturday will now be played on Monday, per NFL reporter Josina Anderson.

A report indicates that Raiders want this to be a straight-up forfeit due to the outbreak, but the NFL’s COVID protocols say that is only the case if an outbreak occurs due to unvaccinated players testing positive.

Washington and the Los Angeles Rams are likewise dealing with COVID outbreaks, and reports say their games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks, respectively, will not be played on Sunday as originally anticipated.

As of this writing, there is no word on exactly when those two games will take place, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the league is aiming for Tuesday for both teams.

Prior to this week, the NFL did not have to move around any games during the 2021 season because of COVID, something that it had to do on several occasions last year.

Matisse Thybulle Is A ‘Rare Combination Of Length And Athleticism And Brains’

Nobody feels safe putting the ball in the air with Matisse Thybulle on the floor — the shot blocking threat Thybulle provides makes offenses run in circles. But he’s not making his name as someone who hangs out in the paint and swats everything at the rim, as Thybulle has become the rare perimeter player who is knocking every jumper, floater, and even dunk attempt out of the air.

The 24-year-old burst onto the scene as a rookie and made the All-Defensive team last year. In 2021-22, Thybulle has become even more destructive. He and Lonzo Ball are the only players shorter than 6’7 with more than 25 blocks on the season. When Steph Curry came to Philadelphia last week looking to break the NBA’s all-time three-point record, Thybulle held him to 2-for-11 from the field when he was the two-time league MVP’s primary defender and became the first player to block Curry while he was attempting a triple twice in the same game, per ESPN’s Kirk Goldsberry.

“He’s a rare combination of length and athleticism and brains,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the Sixers beat Golden State. “He did as good of a job on Steph as anybody I’ve seen in a long time.”

Those who spend the most time around him have nothing but praise when discussing Thybulle’s prowess on the defensive end of the floor. Doc Rivers calls him Inspector Gadget for his ability to recover when a player like Curry gets by him and still block their shot. Sixers star Joel Embiid, who has made clear that he wants to win the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award, believes Thybulle has a chance to win the award as well, and views him as “probably the best perimeter defender in the league.”

While Thybulle is flattered by that sentiment, his focus is elsewhere.

“Awards are given based off of performance and I perform to win,” Thybulle said. “I don’t perform to acquire accolades. It’s an amazing compliment and it would be an honor, but that doesn’t determine how I’m gonna show up each night to play.”

A Video Of A ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Crowd Losing Their Minds In A Theater Also Works For Other Movies

Spider-Man: No Way Home is expected to be the biggest movie of the year — and the COVID-era. The Marvel film grossed $50 million during Thursday previews (that’s the third-biggest preview of all-time behind only Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Force Awakens), which puts it on pace for a $150 million opening weekend. No film has made that much during its first four days of release since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019, which feels like an eternity ago. The point is, there’s going to be a lot of packed movie theater this weekend, many of which will look like this.

The video, taken during an early screening of No Way Home, shows a crowd losing their dang minds over… I won’t spoil what they’re probably reacting to, but that level of standing ovation enthusiasm is reminiscence of the reactions to the “Avengers assemble” scene in Endgame. Or me when Bob Odenkirk showed up in Little Women.

A lot of people are dunking on the Spider-Man fans for cheering during the movie (“these are the same people who clap when the plane lands,” reads one), but I prefer the tweets like this one:

Or this one:

It works for plenty of other movies (and Nicole Kidman speeches):

The people were right to cheer for Stewie from Succession.

RZA And Flatbush Zombies Spin Cinematic Rhymes On ‘Quentin Tarantino’

Last week, two New York fixtures came together at last on RZA and Flatbush Zombies’ “Plug Addicts.” The video took a page out of Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, with RZA’s beat on the track hearkening back to an important project in his career. “I’ve had my eyes on the Flatbush Zombies for sometime now,” RZA said in a statement last week. “Their style of dark hip-hop lyricism is reminiscent of my days in the Gravediggaz. This type of collaboration was overdue.”

Today, they’ve doubled-down with the as-promised track entitled “Quentin Tarantino” and it’s an overt homage to the iconic director. The track is a vintage RZA production that sounds like it could’ve come out of the Jackie Brown soundtrack. Flatbush Zombies Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice, and Erick “Arc” The Architect carry the torch on the mic on this one, with Arc’s flow packing in a slew of Tarantino films:

“They killin’ us all, but we endure, Reservoir Dog
I’m Mr. Orange, so since we sparrin’, I put my all in
Your whip be stallin’, unchained, unhandled, Django is dormant
They pat me down, nigga you don’t know? You better ask around
It’s been half an hour, blast the sound, where’s Jackie Brown?”

The video has nods to Kill Bill and heavy Pulp Fiction vibes, with the Zombies driving around in the same style of Chevy Nova that Jules and Vincent Vega drove in the film. There’s even a briefcase motif and RZA punctuating the hook asking about the age-old Tarantino film geek mystery: “What the f*ck’s up in that briefcase?”

Watch the video for “Quentin Tarantino” above.
