Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable with ‘Spider-Noir,’ ‘The Four Seasons’ Season 2, ‘K-Pops!’ and More : Streaming This Week

On the face of it, there’s room for an elephant’s worth of awkwardness on offer across streaming this week (May 25-31), with protagonists caught in tight spots, making decisions they know they’re going to regret, homecomings that are rife with drama, some mile-high madness, a heist gone wrong and more. Cherry on the cake has to be the much vaunted watch-it-two-ways Nicolas Cage-headlined “Spider-Noir” that’s probably the one you’ll want to add to your binge-list.
