</span><p class="speakableTextP1">Welcome back to your guide to finding out what's new online. Every week, we put together a podcast that lets you know what's been added to streaming services such as <span class="link" data-track="anchorLink"><a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/best-live-tv-streaming-for-cord-cutters-youtube-tv-sling-tv-hulu-and-more/" data-component="linkTracker" data-link-tracker-options="{"action":"link_anchor"}">Netflix, Hulu</a></span> and <span class="link" data-track="anchorLink"><a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/hbo-max-launch-dates-prices-shows-movies-to-expect/" data-component="linkTracker" data-link-tracker-options="{"action":"link_anchor"}">HBO Max</a></span>. The audio is about a minute or two long.</p><p class="speakableTextP2">There's a chance you don't know Jake Johnson by name. The actor was in New Girl, but his voice became unforgettable with his turn as Peter B. Parker in <span class="link" section="shortcodeLink"><a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-is-the-best-superhero-movie-of-the-decade/">Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse</a></span>. Now, Johnson voices Coach Ben. This character thinks he can take his high school coaching career into the big leagues.  </p><p>Since you're reading this, let's give you some extra information not found in the podcast: Hulu now has ThunderCats! The 1980s cartoon is up in its entirety, along with its short-lived 2011 revival. The '80s version borders on ridiculous at times. The 2011 version, however, is a much more serious take on the ThunderCats with all kinds of sci-fi, comic book and anime influences woven in.  </p><p>Want to know what else is new?
