A Stranger Things Star’s Chaotic New Comedy Movie Just Dropped on Hulu

by

It’s hard to believe it’s been three months since the final episode of Stranger Things! After ten years and five seasons, the show wrapped up its story in December, but the cast and crew are already moving on to new projects. While the Duffer Brothers’ new series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, is a hit on Netflix, one of the young stars of Stranger Things has already landed a role in a new comedy now streaming on Hulu.

Gaten Matarazzo, best known for playing Dustin Henderson in Stranger Things, has a new project! He stars in Pizza Movie, a comedy now streaming on Hulu. The film, released on April 3rd, follows two college roommates—played by Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone of The Goldbergs—whose quick trip to pick up a pizza turns into a wild, mind-bending adventure after they accidentally take a powerful experimental drug.

Gaten Matarazzo’s Pizza Movie Is a Cult Classic in the Making

Noah Matarazzo’s first movie since Stranger Things is a big success! While it hasn’t topped streaming charts yet, critics are loving it, giving it an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many are already predicting it will become a beloved classic. Reviewers are comparing it to popular comedies like Superbad and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, with one critic calling it a fun, familiar movie that still manages to feel fresh.

Pizza Movie is a wild, hilarious comedy that fully embraces its over-the-top, drug-fueled college setting. It takes the typical “night out” college movie and cranks it up to eleven with fast-paced, surreal humor – think exploding heads and ridiculous parodies. It’s exactly the kind of raunchy, R-rated comedy you’d expect, and stars Matarazzo and Giambrone, who have fantastic chemistry and perfectly capture the energy of classic stoner comedies. As Variety put it, this duo is worth seeing again, seamlessly blending slapstick with genuine emotion. Ultimately, Pizza Movie is a fun, nostalgic throwback to early 2000s hangout movies, and exactly the Gen Z stoner comedy the genre has been waiting for.

Other Comedy Movies Now on Hulu

Hulu recently added a bunch of new comedies, and the latest is Pizza Movie. This follows the arrival of several other titles on April 1st, including 50 First Dates, The Devil Wears Prada, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, The Heat, Napoleon Dynamite, the Shrek films, and both 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street.
