Assassins, superheroes, nazi hunters, and more to stream this week
Good news, everyone: John Wick: Chapter 4 is finally available to watch at home.
The fourth installment of the genre-changing franchise is now available for digital rental or purchase, and is one of the many new movies available to watch at home this weekend. The Shazam! sequel Fury of the Gods also arrives on the newly named Max platform, which everyone seemed to pass on when it played in actual theaters so now is the perfect time to catch up with it.
That’s not all: There are a few new Netflix originals, the critically-acclaimed Hirokazu Kore-eda drama Broker on Hulu, the Oscar-nominated Women Talking on MGM Plus, and plenty more to watch this week.
Let’s get into it.
