In this episode of Screen Time, we dive into the iconic soundtrack of The Beach, celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The soundtrack, featuring artists like Moby, All Saints, and Blur, has aged better than the film itself, encapsulating the energy of the late '90s. We also preview two exciting films heading to Luxembourg’s Kinepolis: The Last Showgirl, which stars Pamela Anderson as a struggling showgirl, and Dog Man, an action-packed animated movie adapted from the popular book series.

In movie news, we highlight some upcoming releases like One Battle After Another, the latest from Paul Thomas Anderson, and Happy Gilmore 2, a nostalgic return for Adam Sandler's beloved character. Meanwhile, Black Mirror is set to return with a thrilling new season, and J.J. Abrams’ Duster promises to bring action and intrigue to the 1970s. There's also a hint of new developments in the world of Ted Lasso as the show heads into Season 4.

In gaming, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows seeks to turn around the company’s fortunes, while World of Tanks offers a fun crossover event with Peaky Blinders. We also celebrate the 20th anniversary of God of War, with a special vinyl boxset being released to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, rumors about a new game in the series swirl, possibly exploring ancient Egypt.

Lastly, we review The Electric State, a visually stunning but emotionally flat film from the Russo Brothers, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt. Despite its ambitious world-building, the film struggles to deliver on its emotional narrative. We wrap up the episode with a fun fact about the sound design of Jurassic Park and leave you with a track from The Beach’s legendary soundtrack.
