But when his outspoken mother starts dating someone new, Scott is forced to grapple with his long-buried grief and take his first steps forward in life. Also starring Marisa Tomei, Maude Apatow, Bill Burr, Steve Buscemi and more, The King of Staten Island is a hot new movie to watch right now.

Obsessed with her rising follower count, Arielle pushes Dean back into the dark side as they embark on a dangerous adventure across the country filled with robbery, cop chases and even murder.
