For a long time regarded as the underdog of the video streaming business, Hulu might well be on its way to become a serious threat to the competition. Number 3 in the race, Hulu is currently holding a pretty good seat but has continuously been struggling in the past to step up its game, facing difficulty to sign juicy deals with big studios, as opposed to the front runners Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, who've famously spared no expense. But after Sunday night's 69th Emmy Awards ceremony, and following recent significant news, circumstances seem to not-so-surprinsingly be turning in Hulu's favor...

Netflix has always been candid about how much its original hit series Stranger Things is inspired by classics from the '80s (without doubts one of the reasons why we love it so much!). Priding themselves for so cleverly making use of the power of nostalgia, the streaming service's creative team decided to pay homage to each movie that influenced the show (only a few weeks before the release of its highly anticipated second season) by replicating their famous posters and adding Stranger Things characters within each universe. And the results, dare we say it, are brilliant!

When they first started drafting the script for their short film about bullying called Dumpster Diving, students from John C. Fremont high school in L.A. had no idea they'll end up directing big Hollywood talents Seth Rogen, James Franco, Michael Peña, Nick Kroll and Hannah Simone! Product of the joint project between the new program And Action! co-created by screenwriter Evan Goldberg (Superbad, Pineapple Express) and WE Schools destined to give youth a chance to create socially conscious short films with the help of professionals from the cinema industry, Dumpster Diving offered a group of gifted teens the opportunity of a lifetime to break into the movie business.

With Netflix still the runaway leader, the video streaming business has never been more prosperous, counting today 11 VOD services (including HBO, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube,...) that reach 1 million or more homes in a given month. And Disney has decided it wants a share of the pie! But could it be too late for the multi-billion-dollar company to enter the game?
