In this episode of Screen Time, host Stephen Steps Lowe takes listeners on a journey through some exciting movie releases and news.

Kicking things off with a look at upcoming films at Kinepolis Luxembourg, including the action-packed thriller Novocaine, where a man uses his inability to feel pain to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend, and Queer, a bold and artistic film by Luca Guadagnino set in 1954 Mexico City. Steps also highlights the haunting, whimsical soundtrack of Amélie, composed by Yann Tiersen, which is equally as rich, quirky and emotional in atmosphere as the much loved film.

The show then shifts to movie news, with updates on the highly anticipated Jurassic World: Rebirth, a tense new adventure featuring dangerous dinosaurs, and Locked, a psychological thriller starring Anthony Hopkins. Steps also shares details about The Order, a gripping film based on real events involving domestic terrorism in the 1980s. The TV and streaming news segment covers Toxic Town, a Netflix series about environmental injustice, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, and the return of Castlevania: Nocturne for its second season.

Wrapping up with gaming news, Steps highlights the praise for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a video game that captures the spirit of the iconic character, and the exciting new Magic: The Gathering adaptations in development. The episode finishes with a mini-review of Conclave, a tense political thriller starring Ralph Fiennes as a conflicted cardinal amidst a power struggle in the Vatican.

With updates on movies, TV, and gaming, Screen Time delivers a comprehensive look at what’s coming to our screens.
