In this week's Screen Time, we dive into a mix of film, TV, and gaming highlights.

Kicking things off with Submarine, the 2010 indie film featuring Alex Turner's masterful soundtrack, we explore how the music complements the film’s quirky, coming-of-age vibe.

Turner’s subtle, melancholic melodies perfectly mirror the film's themes of isolation and self-discovery, earning praise for its unique tone and emotional depth.

We also preview two highly anticipated films: Marked Men, a romantic drama about the unlikely relationship between a pre-med student and a rebellious tattoo artist, and Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s dark sci-fi comedy that tackles immortality and identity.

Moving into TV and streaming news, Screen Time highlights Long Bright River, a suspense thriller based on Liz Moore’s novel, and Dope Thief, a crime series produced by Ridley Scott about two crooks posing as DEA agents.

Disney+ offers a fresh perspective on morality with Win or Lose, a Pixar animated show about shifting views on "good" and "bad." Meanwhile, Freaky Tales gears up for its April release, combining 1980s action-comedy with an all-star cast, while O'Dessa and Bring Her Back*promise visually striking and thought-provoking stories.

In gaming, Avowed offers an epic RPG experience, while The Last of Us multiplayer spin-off is canceled, with Naughty Dog focusing on single-player projects. Cowboy Bebop fans rejoice as Fortnite celebrates the iconic anime with special quests and skins.

We round off with a mini review of The Gorge, a mind-bending sci-fi thriller on Apple TV+, featuring a unique blend of suspense and horror, delivering both thrills and laughs.

Stay tuned for more Screen Time next week, with reviews, previews, and fun film facts!
