Another look at some of the most exciting things coming to cinema, TV and gaming.

In the latest episode of Screen Time, Stephen Steps Lowe reflects on the evolving nature of the show, now three months in, and dives into discussions on pop culture, including a look at the iconic Trainspotting soundtrack. Released in 1996, the soundtrack played a pivotal role in shaping the '90s music scene, with tracks like Iggy Pop’s "Lust for Life" and Lou Reed’s "Perfect Day" capturing the film’s exploration of addiction and rebellion.

The soundtrack not only highlighted the film's themes but also helped bring electronic and alternative music to a mainstream audience, making it one of the most significant soundtracks of its time.

Steps then takes a look at upcoming films and series, starting with Sing Sing, an A24 film about an imprisoned man finding redemption through theatre.

He also discusses Emilia Pérez, a genre-defying film from director Jacques Audiard, and offers insight into several highly anticipated movies like The Monkey, a Stephen King adaptation, and Alto Knights, starring Robert De Niro. On the TV and streaming side, viewers can expect A Thousand Blows, a gritty series set in 1880s London about illegal boxing, and Prime Target, a conspiracy thriller starring Leo Woodall. Lowe also previews American Primeval, a Netflix series about the violent birth of the American West.

Finally, Steps touches on the latest gaming news, including the release of Nintendo Switch Two, with exciting new features and a possible Mario Kart 9 reveal. He also highlights Until Dawn, a cinematic adaptation of the popular PlayStation game, and Mika and the Witch’s Mountain, a Studio Ghibli-inspired game launching on multiple platforms.

With so much happening in both the film and gaming world, Screen Time continues to offer a comprehensive look at the latest in entertainment, providing listeners with a well-rounded update on what’s worth watching and playing in the coming months.
