Though it may recently have been burned by Netflix, Hulu still has an impressive movie and TV selection and is still the best destination for most new TV shows the day after they air. This month, that includes Bond movies (and a documentary), new shows, and a 2016 comedy in which Mila Kunis is a mom (a bad one, allegedly!). Here's what's coming to Hulu in May.

Top pick: Flubber

Flubber embodies so much of the '90s: The ubiquity of Robin Williams, weird-ass ideas that got made into movies, and the inexplicable allure of green slime. It's surprisingly emotional in parts, showcasing Williams' careful balance of humor and heart, and worth a watch or rewatch any time.
