Streaming This Weekend: Becky, Shirley, The Last Days of American Crime and More

#Streaming This Weekend: Becky, Shirley, The Last Days of American Crime and More

Drive-in movie theaters are thriving, but it’s all relative. They represent a small number of total movie theaters in the U.S. and, even as certain theaters begin to reopen, we are still a long way off from having a normal theatrical experience again. With that, most of us are left to watch movies at home. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for those looking for something new to stream this weekend.

This week’s options run the gamut as we have an unexpected turn from a comedic actor and a documentary chronicling the redemption of a should-be horror icon. We also have a couple of critically-acclaimed movies from 2019 making their way to streaming services and a new comic book flick on Netflix. Here are this week’s streaming selections.

While not the “biggest” new release of the week, Becky could easily be the most intriguing.

The trip takes an ugly turn when convicts on the run invade their home.
