Not a ton of new stuff in theaters other than a Liam Neeson shoot-em-up, “Memory,” and some interesting foreign films, “Hatching” and “Vortex,” but over on the streaming side there’s series finales dropping on Netflix for “Ozark” and “Grace & Frankie,” plus debuts including “We Run This City” on HBO, “The Offer” on Paramount+, “Shining Girls” on Apple TV+, and “I Love That For You” on Showtime.
And finally, Bruce Miller talks with Ben Foster and Barry Levinson about their new film, “The Survivor,” which portrays the story of a real-life survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, forced to box his fellow inmates to survive. You can see that on HBO Max starting April 27.
