The Dungeons & Dragons movie, A Man Called Otto on Netflix, and every other new movie to watch at home this week
This weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the latest (and presumably final) MCU movie from director-turned-DC Studios head honcho James Gunn, finally comes to theaters. If the adventures of Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and his merry band of vigilante mercenaries isn’t quite your speed, don’t sweat it: There are plenty of new releases to stream and rent from the comfort of your home.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, leads the VOD offerings. But The Pope’s Exorcist, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, and Renfield, starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult, are also new available for home rental. Looking to save some money this weekend on what to watch? We got you: The psychological thriller Inside (not to be confused with the Bo Burnham comedy special) starring Willem Dafoe is streaming on Peacock, the comedic drama A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks comes to Netflix, and the cannibal road-movie romance Bones and All, starring Timothée “Muad’dib” Chalamet, is finally available to stream on MGM Plus.
There’s a smorgasbord of movies to choose from, so let’s dive in and see what’s next on the menu.
