Samaritan, the streamer’s latest title centered on superheroes, imagines a scenario where a reluctant do-gooder goes missing and is reported dead. Starring Euphoria’s Javon Walton and Sylvester Stallone, the movie picks up two decades after that happens to Joe Smith (Stallone), and sees him trying to keep a low profile as a refuse collector. Despite Joe’s best efforts, his neighbour Sam (Stallone) learns of his past, and with their city in a bad way, the youngster tries to convince the old-timer to return to his roots. Directed by Julius Avery, the flick also stars Dascha Polanco, Martin Starr, and Moisés Arias.

Selling the OC follows the Oppenheim Group as owner Jason opens its second office on Newport Beach in Orange County, California. Although there’s a new cast of real estate agents to contend with, we can expect the same drama, ostentatious houses, and high-heeled shoes that look like they should be impossible to walk in as it’s Sunset Boulevard counterpart.
