Parasite Coming To Hulu in April

Hulu has announced that multi-Oscar-winning movie Parasite is coming to the streaming service. Hulu will start streaming Parasite on April 8th, giving millions of subscribers who are just now learning about Bong Joon Ho’s breakout hit film the chance to actually see it. Parasite trailers did a wonderful job of keeping the film’s storyline and themes wrapped in mystery and intrigue – which is still how we recommend viewers approach the film. So be sure not to watch too much, or read too many spoilers, because if you’ve made it this far without ruining the novelty of Parasite for yourself, you don’t want to spoil it in the final stretch.

Parasite has certainly managed to up its profile with casual viewers, after walking away with six Oscars and three Golden Globes. Not only that, but in winning both Best Picture and Best International Feature Film, Parasite has totally upset the balance that used to govern the Oscars. That upset has literally upset a sector of movie fans (and those who aren’t even fans) over the idea that a “foreign” film won Best Picture. That’s sparked the now-standard debates over what is, or is not “American” – but like so many of those discussions, it’s highly debatable how many of the people debating Parasite (on either side) have actually seen it. The film’s debut on Hulu will at least give more people the chance to put some actual knowledge and insight behind those complaints.
