Andrew McCarthy directs a documentary about a subject he knows all too
well: the group of young film actors known as the "Brat Pack" who lit up
the screen in the 1980s. The film finds McCarthy reuniting with stars
like Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Ally Sheedy, as well as
sitting down for an interview with journalist David Blum, who originally
coined the "Brat Pack" term in a 1985 article. 1h 32m.

That's not how it works - you have to have the Duo (or Trio) plan to get
Hulu via Disney+. If you just have Disney+, you don't get access to Hulu
content.

 Ah. I somehow get both Disney with Hulu as well as Hulu Ala carte and the
two Hulu accounts don’t seem to know about each other, though they use the
same username and password. It’s all free so I don’t pay much attention to
where it comes from. I didn’t realize Disney without Hulu still existed.
  

I just got an email from Hulu yesterday with a promotion.  I think I might be eligible for it since I got the email.  But I headed over to my Disney+ account this morning and there was no option I could find to even add Hulu or anything else to it.  I'm sure it must be there somewhere if I dig deep enough.  But the problem has never been I couldn't add Hulu, it was there was no option to add it to the annual plan, and I don't want to downgrade to monthly.
Most of my streaming service plans are either annual so I pay once and forget about it or free through cable.
