The festive week is one of the quietest of the year for new streaming releases. In fact, none of the major streaming services are offering new movies this week (though Netflix is debuting “Squid Game” season 2 for TV binge-watching). However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any fresh flicks for you to watch from the comfort of your home over the holidays.
The headline new addition this week is “Gladiator 2” on premium video-on-demand. The swords-and-sandals sequel was more than 20 years in the making and while it’s unlikely to leave the same cultural impact as its predecessor, it’s still a historical epic that packs plenty of action spectacle and character-driven melodrama. Other newcomers to PVOD include “Y2K” and “The Order”.
