Hulu and Viacom have decided to stick together. The companies announced today that they’ve renewed and expanded their content partnership, offering Hulu subscribers even more content from the likes of Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and MTV, including popular shows like Inside Amy Schumer that aren’t available for streaming anywhere else.

The multiyear deal continues to grant Hulu subscription video on-demand rights to select shows from Viacom’s media networks, adding exclusive rights to series including Broad CityFinding Carter, and more. Thanks to the deal, Hulu subscribers (who pay either $7.99 a month or $11.99 monthly for commercial free streaming) are able to watch episodes of current seasons on delay after linear broadcasts have aired.

For nostalgic older fans, there are plenty of fun new options as well. Doug and Rugrats, among others, will be available for streaming for the first time on Hulu.

“Today, we are not only extending our deal, but we are adding more premium content than ever from their popular family of networks,” said Mike Hopkins, CEO of Hulu, in a press release.

Hulu’s latest additions and expansions appeal to a wide variety of viewers, which presumably will make the streaming service more attractive to new and current subscribers alike.

Jack Black as Satan Claus in Dear Santa.

There are no rules that say you have to watch a Christmas movie on Christmas. But it is absolutely the best time to watch Christmas movies, or at least Christmas-adjacent films.

Some Christmas action movies are probably best left for older viewers.

This year's selections for the 10 best movies to watch on Christmas are available on most of the major streamers, and include new films mixed with some older titles. Not every selection below is strictly Christmas-related, but they all share the Christmas spirit in one way or another.

Sequels are a way of life in Hollywood, and they've been around in some fashion since the dawn of cinema. But in 1974, it just wasn't common for an Oscar-winner for Best Picture to have a sequel two years later that won the same prize ... and more. Fifty years ago this month, The Godfather Part II changed the game for the industry and arguably surpassed The Godfather itself.

While many of The Godfather Part II's contemporary films -- like The Towering Inferno -- have faded from pop culture, this movie continues to influence every crime epic that came after it. It set the bar so high for a sequel that not even The Godfather Part III could come anywhere close to this film's heights.
