It's technically spring but who's to say another blizzard isn't going to slam the East Coast and lock everyone indoors? For that, we must be prepared with our greatest weapon: Streaming. With different subscription packages and next-day TV, here's a look at what to watch on Hulu while spring wakes up from its slumber.

Top pick: Johnny Tsunami

In May, Disney Channel aired a three-day marathon of fifty original movies, but the O.G. classics are rare on streaming and even to own. Johnny Tsunami, one of the earliest DCOMs in 1999, stars Brandon Baker as Johnny Kapahala, a lifelong surfer whose family moves to New England. Lost without his passion, Johnny takes up snowboarding and ends up caught in an old feud that dominates the snowy mountain.
