Stephen Steps Lowe dives into the latest film, TV, and gaming news, with a special focus on the iconic soundtrack to Romeo & Juliet (1996)

The episode explores how Baz Luhrmann’s vibrant and genre-defying adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, paired with its unforgettable soundtrack, captured the angst and passion of the ‘90s. The music, featuring artists like Radiohead, The Cardigans, and Garbage, has become a defining collection of the era, and tonight’s show offers a taste of this in a featured segment, starting with Everclear's "Local God."

Steps also previews two films coming soon to Kinepolis Luxembourg. Captain America: Brave New World marks a new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Anthony Mackie taking up the shield as Sam Wilson. Fans can expect dynamic action and a deeper exploration of Sam's evolution post- The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler's Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, promises a genre-bending tale that blends supernatural horror with music, family, and personal history.

In the movie news section, Lowe talks about upcoming films like Opus, a dark comedy thriller starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich, and Riff Raff, a crime drama with a comedic twist starring Jennifer Coolidge, Bill Murray, and Pete Davidson. Meanwhile, The Order dives into domestic terrorism with Jude Law at the forefront.

Steps also touches on the upcoming season of The White Lotus and the return of the violent underworld of Gangs of London. Finally, for the gaming fans, there’s a review of Fear the Spotlight, Blumhouse’s foray into horror gaming, and the closure of a viral Mario Ramen restaurant due to Nintendo's strict trademark enforcement.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy an action-packed episode, perfect for your next Saturday night takeaway session!
