New Movies On Demand: ‘Licorice Pizza,’ ‘Scream,’ ‘Drive My Car’ + More

Now that the 2022 SAG Awards, which were held last weekend, and the Golden Globes have passed, all we’re waiting for now are the Oscars, and if you haven’t seen some of the nominated films yet, now’s a great time start. Films like Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story which are both nominated for Best Picture Oscars, are finally out now on VOD, as are the much-anticipated sequels Sing 2 and Scream. So many new movies on VOD, so little time!

One more Best Picture nominee that’s got everyone buzzing about is Drive My Car, the Japanese drama from director Ryusuke Hamaguchi. When Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), a theater director, loses his wife, he immerses himself in a production of Uncle Vanya at a theater festival. As he attempts to work through his grief during the production, he begins to form a bond with the woman, Misaki (Toko Miura), hired to be his driver during the festival who is dealing with some trauma of her own. The film has already won Best Screenplay at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. (In addition to on-demand services, this one is also available for HBO Max subscribers.)

These are just a few of the titles that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now!

Licorice Pizza


Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) is a teenage actor growing up in 1970s California when he meets an older woman, Alana Kane (Alana Haim), with whom he forms a friendship that changes and evolves over the course of a decade. Paul Thomas Anderson’s coming-of-age film has received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Director, and while the throughline of the film is the story of the pair’s relationships (with one another and with romantic partners), their impressive performances are the backbone of the film.

Scream (2022)


It’s my personal opinion that you should only reboot something if you can get most of the original cast on board, and the newest sequel to Scream manages to reunite original survivors of the first film, Sidney (Neve Cambell), Dewey (David Arquette), and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) with Ghostface for more nostalgic slashing, slicing and dicing. The new film takes place 25 years after the original, and a new batch of teens find themselves targeted by the town’s notorious masked serial killer, and once again it’s up to Sid and the gang to take him down.
