Two-thirds of Wild's top line back together with Eriksson Ek’s returnScrolling for something new to watch on this week, November 23-29? Let me give you a hand with my picks for the best movies, TV shows and more arriving on the streaming service. Christmas officially arrives on Hulu this week, as the streamer is adding a number of holiday-themed titles, including an exclusive special from a popular TV show and a range of holiday movies that all ages can enjoy. But if you're not in the Christmas mood yet there are some alternative options as well. Check out all of the picks for this week directly below. Family Guy Holiday Special Celebrate Christmas with the Griffins on Hulu as the all-new holiday special is streaming exclusively on the platform. Titled “Gift of the White Guy,” the episode sees Peter have to recover Lois’ Christmas brooch after he gives it away in a White Elephant exchange. Also, Stewie finds out that he’s on Santa’s “Naughty List.” This is the second holiday special Hulu has had this year, following a Halloween episode. Robot Dreams (2023) Who says animated movies are exclusively for kids? , which was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars last year, is a PG-13 animated movie that follows the friendship and adventures of Dog and Robot in 1980s New York City. Despite the animal characters, the movie’s themes are much more adult-oriented. With it being “Certified Fresh” with a 98% on , it’s definitely worth giving the movie a try. Vow of Silence: The Assassination of Annie Mae Annie Mae Maquash was a Mi’kmaq woman, a mother, a teacher and a leader for Indigenous rights in the 1970s, but for nearly 30 years her death went unsolved. This new docuseries explores the investigation led by Annie Mae’s daughter to uncover the truth about her mother’s death, set against the backdrop of 1970s America, and deals with love, betrayal and the struggles of Native and First Nations women. Elf (2003) is a that I actively try to watch every year, so it’s good to know that it will be streaming on Hulu this year (other streamers as well, but this is a Hulu-centric article). The journey of Buddy the Elf as he leaves the North Pole to reconnect with his biological father in New York is hilarious and fills us with plenty of Christmas spirit. Get the What to Watch Newsletter The latest updates, reviews and unmissable series to watch and more! National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) It’s that time of year again, to spend the holidays with the Griswolds. The comedy starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Randy Quaid and company remains a holiday favorite for many, as Clark holds out hope for a Christmas bonus while trying to stay sane as his relatives invade his house for the holiday. Hopefully, most of us can say our family isn’t this crazy during the holidays. The Polar Express (2004) Based on the classic children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg, tells the story of a young boy who is questioning his belief in Santa. But then the Polar Express stops outside his house and whisks him away to the North Pole for an adventure meant to reinstall his belief in the Christmas figure. Tom Hanks stars in multiple roles in this movie that was one of the first to use performance-capture technology and remains a holiday favorite. Nutcrackers (2024) If you're interested in checking out a new Christmas-theme movie instead of (or in addition to) well-known holiday entries, is Hulu's new offering to the genre this year. The movie stars Ben Stiller as the big city uncle of a group of children who recently lost their parents, looking after them on their rural farm as the holidays approach. Antics and heart-pulling emotions are a given.

Nate Yarnell , who started when Holstein missed last week's game against Clemson with a concussion, replaced him Saturday. Holstein, a transfer from Alabama, won the starting quarterback job over Yarnell during fall practice and helped lead the Panthers to a 7-0 start.

Arctic Star Exploration (CVE:ADD) Hits New 1-Year Low – What’s Next?Veteran Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat has held the Sangamner assembly seat in Ahmednagar district since 1985. Even during the Modi wave of 2014, he retained the seat by a margin of nearly 59,000 votes. On Saturday, Throat lost to Shiv Sena’s Amol Khatal. Another Congress old-hand, former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, was bested by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Atul Bhosale from Karad South in Satara district. Satara and Ahmednagar (now renamed Ahilyanagar) in Western Maharashtra have long been bastions of the Congress and its Nationalist Congress Party ally. Until recently, the region was considered impregnable to the BJP. But by Saturday evening at 8.30, the BJP-led Mahyuti alliance was ahead in 41 of the 58 seats in the region. In fact, the ruling coalition consisting of the BJP, the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde and the Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party dominated all regions in the state. It was heading for a majority of more than three-fourths, leading in 230 of the 288 seats in the assembly. The Mahayuti won a staggering 48.16 % of the votes while the Maha Vikas Aghadi garnered 33.65%. The Opposition coalition comprises the Congress, the Shiv Sena faction headed by Uddhav Thackeray and the Nationalist Congress Party group headed by Sharad Pawar. What explains this stunning turnaround less than six months after the Lok Sabha elections, in which the Mahayuti won only 17 of the state’s 48 seats? Pre-election welfare bonanza Widely credited with helping the Mahayuti coalition is the cash transfer scheme for women that it launched on the eve of the elections. Under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojna, women between the ages of 21 and 65 years, with an annual family income of up to Rs 2.5 lakh, have been receiving Rs 1,500 per month since July. The majority of the 2.34 crore women who benefit from the scheme received a total of Rs 7,500 in their accounts before the date of polling. In this election, the number of women who voted was nearly 6% higher than in the 2019 polls. It is being attributed to the welfare measure. In an interview to Scroll last week, political observer Girish Kuber said that the real credit for the game-changing impact of the scheme goes to the Election Commission for delaying the Assembly elections. This allowed the state to transfer four to five months of installments of benefits to women’s bank accounts. Acknowledging this the momentum of the scheme, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in his first remarks after the results said he was grateful to the ladki bahin or beloved sisters in the state for their support. Rajdeep Sardesai, political analyst and author of The Election That Changed India, noted that women are swing voters in India. “I don’t recall a single election in the last decade where the party that won the election did not win the majority of the women vote,” he said. Rural distress not a factor? Jaideep Hardikar, author and journalist with the People’s Archive Of Rural India, says he finds it difficult to comprehend the losses of veterans like Balasaheb Thorat from Sangamner in Western Maharashtra or Yashomati Tahkur also of the Congress in Vidarbha. “The election results are quite stunning, particularly the wide gap in vote share,” he said. In Bhandara, Gondia and Gadchiroli, the Adivasi vote seems to have shifted to the Mahayuti en masse, he said. “Overall, rural distress, the crisis facing soybean and cotton farmers are issues that have been overpowered momentarily, it appears, by the direct benefit transfer scheme, primarily Ladki Bahin,” Hardikar added This is also perhaps the reason why there was little purchase for Opposition narratives that found an echo during the Lok Sabha polls, such as the Constitution being in danger of being amended if the BJP won an overwhelming majority, Sardesai said. Since this was a more localised election, voters were looking at more immediate benefits they were getting from schemes such as Ladki Bahin rather than “whether you are a Dalit or an OBC or a Maratha”, Sardesai said. “If you were a woman who was getting the benefits, why would you not take that?” he asked. “I think it became more transactional and in a transactional election the welfare schemes that were being rolled out by the Mahayuti worked.” Caste calculations Election analyst Yogendra Yadav believes the blame lies with Maha Vikas Aghadi for failing to convert the challenges faced by citizens into a winning election narrative. “There were real grievances, real problems, but the MVA failed to convert them into electoral issues,” he said. “The onus was on them.” He suggested that the BJPs “biggest success was that it managed to convert this into a hyper local election”. This ensured that the Marathas did not consolidate behind the Maha Vikas Aghadi despite being disenchanted with the ruling coalition for failing to include the community in the list of Other Backward Classes. Instead, the election was “candidate to candidate”. At the same time, “the BJP quietly consolidated the OBCs and the most disadvantaged Dalits”, Yadav said. Yadav said that while he was not surprised by the election results, he was taken aback by the scale of the Mahayuti’s victory. “A 15% gap in vote share is somewhat spooky and strange,” he said. “The data will need to be studied closely”

JD Vance is leaving the Senate for the vice presidency. That's set off a scramble for his Ohio seat COLUMBUS, Ohio -- JD Vance's election as vice president has opened up one of Ohio's U.S. Senate seats for the third time in as many years, setting off a scramble for the appointment among the state's ruling Republicans. GOP Gov. Mike DeWine is tasked with filling the vacancy, giving the pragmatic center-right politician a hand in setting his party's course in the state potentially for years to come. His decision will be made in the afterglow of sweeping wins by Republicans in November under the leadership of Donald Trump, but a poor choice could also help Democrats reclaim a place in Ohio's Senate delegation when the seat comes up for reelection in less than two years. "Look, being a United States senator is a big deal," the governor told reporters in the days after the election. "It's a big deal for the state, and we need to get it right." DeWine has a long list to choose from — particularly given the number of GOP candidates who competed unsuccessfully in Senate primaries in 2022 and 2024. Those under consideration who previously lost crowded Republican primaries are former Ohio Republican Chair Jane Timken; two-term Secretary of State Frank LaRose; and state Sen. Matt Dolan, whose family owns baseball's Cleveland Guardians. Two-term Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague and Republican attorney and strategist Mehek Cooke, a frequent guest on Fox News, are also in the mix. One other prospective appointee — a 2024 presidential contender, Cincinnati pharmaceutical entrepreneur and Vance insider Vivek Ramaswamy — pulled out of contention after accepting a position in the new Trump administration. While Vance's departure also offers DeWine an opportunity to alleviate a bottleneck at the top of Ohio Republicans' political pecking order, where Lt. Gov. Jon Husted and Attorney General Dave Yost are preparing to face off for governor in 2026, that appears unlikely. Husted is...

Devils at Capitals projected goalies Jacob Markstrom (9-5-1, 2.54 GAA, .907 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Charlie Lindgren (5-4-0, 2.59 GAA, .900 SV%) Markstrom has enjoyed a solid run in November, going 4-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .913 SV% in 6 starts, which is a tick better than his 5-3-1 mark, 2.68 GAA and .903 SV% in 9 October outings.

Devils at Capitals picks and predictions Prediction Devils 4, Capitals 2 Moneyline The DEVILS (-145) are a solid play as moderate road favorites. First off, the road team has won each of the first 2 meetings in this season already, and the Capitals (+120) offense looked rather toothless last time out in their first game without Ovie. Back Markstrom and New Jersey in this matchup, as the road team looks to go 3-for-3 in this series this season. Puck line/Against the spread If you're really adventurous, back the DEVILS -1.5 (+180) on the puck line for the chance to nearly double up. Obviously, you would not want to play the puck line and moneyline at the same time. In New Jersey's past 3 wins since Nov. 12, it has won by 2 or more goals, including against the Hurricanes last time out. So, if you like the Devils, you should like them on the puck line as well. Over/Under The Over/Under (6) is expected to come down right on the total, so the best thing to do here is AVOID . While we saw the Over cash in each of the first 2 meetings between these teams this season, Washington's offense is a little less impressive with Ovechkin sidelined. And, New Jersey has cashed low in 4 of its past 5 outings. Want to play some games of your own?
