3 movies leaving Peacock in November you have to watch

Peacock is dropping a lot of movies at the end of November, which is part of its normal churn of content. Some of the departing films, like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, have come and gone from Peacock so many times that we’ve lost track of the exact number. But it’s a high number, and you can bet that some of these movies will make their way back to Peacock at some point in the future.

But why wait? You’ve already paid your subscription fee for the month of November, and you deserve to get the most out of it. To help you plan your next movie night, we’ve chosen one of the most successful YA adaptations, and two Judd Apatow-produced films for this list. These are the three movies leaving Peacock in November that you have to watch.

The Hunger Games (2012)

With The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now out in theaters, it’s a good time to revisit the films that started it all. The Hunger Games and its three sequels are only on Peacock through the end of November, so catch them while you can. But if we have to pick a favorite, it’s an easy choice to go with the first film. The Hunger Games cast Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, a young woman who volunteers for the annual battle to the death in order to spare her younger sister from the same fate.

Katniss is accompanied to the Hunger Games by Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), a young man who professes his love for Katniss despite barely knowing her. Regardless, Katniss and Peeta are supposed to fight 22 other representatives from the various districts. Ultimately, there’s only supposed to be one victor in the Hunger Games. But the Gamesmaker, Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), can’t resist giving Katniss and Peeta the hope that they can win it together.

Step Brothers (2008)

The word man-child tends to be thrown around a lot, but it truly applies to the characters portrayed by Will Ferrell (Barbie) and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers. Brennan Huff (Ferrell) and Dale Doback (Reilly) are both around 40 years old and incredibly immature. Brennan still lives with his mom, Nancy Huff (Mary Steenburgen), while Dale never moved out of the house that belongs to his father, Dr. Robert Doback (Richard Jenkins).

When Nancy and Robert fall in love and get married, Brennan and Dale become stepbrothers against their will. Over time, the duo discovers that they have a lot in common. However, Nancy and Robert are both increasingly fed up with their childish antics, which may force Brennan and Dale to actually grow up.

Trainwreck (2015)

Universal Pictures

Amy Schumer wrote the screenplay for Trainwreck, while starring in the film as Amy Townsend, a young woman with an alcohol problem who doesn’t really know how to be happy. Not even Amy’s boyfriend, Steven (John Cena), can fill that gap in her heart. But an unassuming surgeon, Dr. Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), just may be the one to help Amy through her issues.

Or maybe not, since Amy fears commitment and she’s an expert on self-sabotage. Amid her tense relationship with her sister, Kim (Brie Larson), Amy also has to care for her ailing father, Gordon Townsend (Colin Quinn). But the stress of dealing with all of the drama in her life may prove to be too much for Amy.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this March 2025, stream this one
A pair of Na'vi comfort each other in the water while flames spread around them in a scene from Avatar: The Way of Water.

Of all the streaming services out there, Disney+ is the one with the most unified catalog. For the most part, the stuff on there falls into a few big buckets. If you don't like animation, Star Wars, or Marvel, it can be easy to feel like nothing on Disney+ is for you.
If you're looking for a major blockbuster that's well worth your time, Avatar: The Way of Water is an excellent option. The movie, which became one of the highest-grossing in history when it was released in 2022, is a sequel to the first Avatar, but it's not the kind of franchise where every entry is required viewing. Here are three reasons you should check it out:
It's one of the most stunning movies ever made

Have you ever looked at the CGI in a movie and wondered why corporations spend millions of dollars to make their projects look terrible? If so, Avatar: The Way of Water might be for you. The movie was undoubtedly expensive, but every one of those dollars is on the screen.

3 sci-fi movies on Hulu you need to watch in February 2025
Jessica Biel and Colin Farrell in Total Recall.

If Hulu was solely reliant on its sci-fi movies from 20th Century Studios, then there would be very few options beyond the Planet of the Apes, Predator, and Alien franchises. Fortunately, Hulu gets the best of all worlds by hosting most of the classic 20th Century Fox sci-fi flicks as well as a selection of films from other studios. And it's not a coincidence that all three of our picks for the sci-fi movies on Hulu that you need to watch in February come from Sony.

Two of these films are newly arrived in February, while the third has been around for a bit. Each of these movies is also an action movie with sci-fi elements. So while there may not be a lot of romance in these flicks, the action lover in your household should enjoy them a lot.
