Hulu has released its list of content arriving at the streaming service this June, as well as everything that will no longer be available to watch there after June 30.

At the top of the must-watch list is season three of Hulu Original “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which was notably pushed back to a June premiere date in order to ensure it would “maintain the quality it has,” Craig Erwich, Hulu’s Senior Vice President of Originals, said at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in February. The first three episodes of the new season premiere on Hulu June 5, after which new episodes will be released every Wednesday.

Another Hulu Original of note is “The Weekly” series from The New York Times, coming June 3. Each half-hour episode will feature a Times journalist investigating one of today’s most pressing issues, with new issues being explored each week.

Bet you've never seen Sean William Scott play a lovable loser who has to get his act together. Just kidding. If you've ever seen a Sean William Scott movie, you've pretty much seen him in that role. And yet, he still manages to be funny. Usually. Well, luckily he's heading for new territory with his groundbreaking new role...oh wait...Steve Stifler? Again? Really? American Reunion? Sheesh. Okay, well, fine. At least you can enjoy one of his many lovable loser roles with American Loser where he stars opposite Gretchen Mol as a guy who needs to get motivated. While we're rambling incoherently, could the DVD cover artist have found a less attractive picture of Gretchen Mol?

Anyways, American Loser arrived on DVD on September 27th, and to celebrate the release we're giving away a copy. To find out how you can win, keep reading.

For all that he's allowed himself to be typecast, for all of the irritating voices that he's leaned on, and for all of the questionable material that he's headlined (a category to which this film must unfortunately be added), there's something to be said for Sean William Scott. He may never stray too far from his star-making role as Stiffler in American Pie, but there's a disconcerting genuineness to him that allows him to comfortably fill in roles that most actors would stumble through even if written specifically for them. It's almost solely to his credit that American Loser works as well as it does (which is still only sporadically and weakly), or that the romance between his learning-disabled former alcoholic  and Gretchen Mol is at all convincing. In fact, it almost works too well, exposing the other fallacies of Loser more nakedly than if it had not worked at all; namely,...

There’s a vague sense of cruelty to the direct-to-dvd market, which is used to solely accommodate cheap genre products, but more often seems like a dumping ground for unusual niche projects that die a slow death on the festival circuit. They usually get treated much like the aptly titled “American Loser,” a dramatic half-comedy with Seann William Scott that went through a number of title changes before being dumped onto the market. The film now carries a title that not only insults the lead character, and by extension Scott (who has experimented a few times in risky projects that ended…...

Oh, and it’s being promoted as a comedy!

Seann William Scott attempts to hold it together in American Loser.

American Loser follows Jeff (Scott)—who blames his problems on his wealthy parents—after being evicted from the garage he rents through his hook-up with Lynn (Gretchen Mol, Tenure), the possibly gold-digging blonde who may just be the person to help Jeff pull it together.

Directed by Tod Williams and co-starring Jeff Garlin TV’s Curb Your Enthusiasm), Deirdre O’Connell (The Greatest) and Dennis O’Hare (TV’s True Blood), American Loser was adapted from the 2007 book The Little Yellow Bus: A Special Education Memoir by...
