This week’s episode of Screen Time returns after a brief hiatus...

Stephen Steps Lowe dives back into the latest screen-based content, from cinema releases to streaming and gaming updates. The episode opens with a nostalgic tribute to The Graduate (1967), spotlighting its groundbreaking soundtrack by Simon & Garfunkel, which revolutionized the use of pop music in film. This theme runs throughout the show with several cuts from the soundtrack aired in between segments.

Two major upcoming films take the spotlight: Hurry Up Tomorrow, a psychological thriller starring and co-written by The Weeknd, and The Surfer, a hallucinatory drama led by Nicolas Cage. Both promise deeply emotional journeys tied to themes of identity and psychological unraveling. The episode also breaks down the current Kinepolis Luxembourg box office chart, led by the Minecraft movie, followed by thrillers and nostalgic re-releases like Revenge of the Sith and a Pink Floyd concert film.

In movie news, buzz builds around Weapons, a chilling mystery from Zach Cregger, and The Smashing Machine, which sees Dwayne Johnson in a serious, transformative role. Meanwhile, the Now You See Me franchise is revived with a third film, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, mixing old and new illusionists in a slick heist adventure.

On the small screen, Taskmaster kicks off its 19th season, HBO rolls out casting news for its Harry Potter reboot, and Matthew Lillard preps for multiple genre appearances - including a Carrie series by Mike Flanagan.

The gaming section covers quirky and surprising headlines - from someone in Vatican City buying Cult of the Lamb just before the Pope's funeral, to Xbox price hikes sparking backlash, and the quiet shutdown of Evil Dead: The Game. The episode wraps with a mini-review of Amazon’s G20, which, while anchored by Viola Davis’s powerhouse performance, is dubbed a slick but silly action-thriller.

A fun film fact closes out the episode, revealing how Toy Story 2 was almost lost forever due to a massive data deletion error.
