Netflix started June pretty much the same way it ended May — by offering more movies filled with saucy grandmas, butchered prom queens and the downfall of a football icon.

But Netflix subscribers also streamed several new titles that testify to how strange and diverse people’s tastes truly are.

Among the most popular movies this week are a Nicolas Cage revenge flick about a missing pig, a true-crime story about a potentially murderous nurse and an animated adventure about a wild robot.
