This week features a fantastic lineup of streaming debuts [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Directed by Dickinson, <em>Urchin<\/em> is a searing slice-of-life drama that doesn\u2019t pull any punches in its depiction of a man living in poverty. As much a victim of his own addictions as he is of a broken system, Mike struggles to be better than who he currently is, but the odds seem impossibly stacked against him. While I wouldn\u2019t describe Urchin as fun to watch, it\u2019s always interesting, especially when it depicts Mike\u2019s rising and falling fortunes. The movie\u2019s climax verges on the surreal, leaving it up to you to interpret what happens to Mike. <em>Urchin<\/em> is Dickinson\u2019s debut as a director, and it\u2019s good enough for you to want him to make another movie sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/movie\/urchin-85af8266-a468-44af-b1bf-cba5a7dce890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Urchin<\/em> is streaming on Hulu.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\u2018The Astronaut\u2019 (2025)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Astronaut | Official Trailer (HD) | Vertical\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cF3gdVOT6gQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sam Walker (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/kate-mara\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kate Mara<\/strong><\/a>) is an astronaut who just survived a traumatic incident aboard a space station.

The movie takes a classic \u201cfish-out-of-water\u201d concept and breathes new life into it, with frequently hilarious results. It\u2019s a hoot to see Deloris try to fit in with the other nuns, who aren\u2019t as strict and boring as she first believes them to be. The movie features several terrific musical sequences, with Deloris leading her fellow sisters in singing such classic \u201860s hits as \u201cI Will Follow Him\u201d with a spiritual bent.
