If you’re trying to squeeze in a few last watches before they cycle off the platform, this week brings a compact mix of indie satire, a cartel thriller, a coming-of-age oddity, and a family-friendly animated adventure. Below you’ll find concise rundowns with core details—what each title is about and who’s behind it—so you can pick what to queue up first.

Dates below refer to the window Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12. Each entry includes the exact day a title leaves so you can plan accordingly without any surprises.

‘A Lot of Nothing’ (2023)

This satirical thriller follows an affluent Los Angeles couple, Vanessa and James, whose lives spin out after they see their neighbor—police officer Brian—on the news connected to a fatal shooting; the shock pushes them into a volatile, overnight moral crisis that brings family and friends into the crossfire. The film is the feature directorial debut of Mo McRae, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sarah Kelly Kaplan; principal cast includes Cleopatra Coleman, Y’lan Noel, Justin Hartley, Lex Scott Davis, and Shamier Anderson. It premiered at SXSW before its wider release and runs approximately 104 minutes. It leaves on Monday, October 6.

Additional key credits include cinematography by John Rosario, editing by Annie Eifrig, and an original score by David Sardy, with production backed by Anonymous Content and RLJE Films handling distribution. The story’s single-location tension and ensemble interplay are central to its structure, with the timeline largely unfolding over one fraught night at the couple’s home.

‘American Sicario’ (2021)

Set within Mexico’s cartel power struggles, the film tracks American gangster Erik Vasquez as he maneuvers to become a top-tier boss, only to trigger violent pushback from rival organizations and former allies. Directed by RJ Collins from a script built around Vasquez’s rise and fall, the movie stars Philippe A. Haddad as Erik alongside Danny Trejo and other supporting players in the orbit of the Feliz cartel. It leaves on Wednesday, October 8.

Behind the scenes, producers include Maurice Compte, Ross Campbell, RJ Collins, and Elliott Michael Smith. The plot centers on Erik’s bid for control amid shifting loyalties and escalating retaliation, charting the familiar cartel-war arc through his decisions and the consequences that follow.

‘Finnick’ (2022)

This Russian animated feature introduces Finnick, a mischievous young “Finn” (a house spirit) whose pranks stop working when a new family moves into his home; teaming up with the family’s daughter, he faces a larger mystery that threatens the city. Directed by Denis Chernov, the film features voice performances led by Mikhail Khrustalyov and Veronika Golubeva in the original track; an English-language version has also circulated. It leaves on Thursday, October 9.

Writing credits include Denis Chernov, Tatiana Belova, Aleksandr Kim, Neil Landau, and Lev Murzenko, with production by Riki Group and a score by Sergei Sidorov. The film’s world-building draws on Slavic household-spirit folklore, translating it into a modern urban setting with family-adventure beats and a brisk sub-90-minute runtime.

‘Wyrm’ (2019)

Set in a mid-1990s alternate reality, this coming-of-age story follows socially awkward teen Wyrm Whitner, who must complete a state-mandated “Level One Sexuality Requirement”—getting his first kiss—before he can advance in school; the mandate collides with his family’s unresolved grief after the death of his older brother. Written and directed by Christopher Winterbauer and based on his short of the same name, the feature stars Theo Taplitz, with notable supporting turns from Lulu Wilson, Lukas Gage, Sosie Bacon, and Rosemarie DeWitt. It leaves on Thursday, October 9.

Key crew includes producer Helen Estabrook, cinematographer John Guleserian, editor Nathan Orloff, and composer David Boman. The film blends deadpan humor with speculative rules—like the neck device that tracks milestones—to frame Wyrm’s progress through friendship, loss, and awkward firsts within a slightly askew version of middle-school life.
