Welcome to a jam-packed edition of Screen Time, your weekly dive into film, TV, and gaming, with Stephen “Steps” Lowe.

This week, we spotlight the cult classic Withnail & I, known for its dark comedy, Richard E. Grant’s legendary performance, and its melancholic, rock-infused soundtrack featuring Jimi Hendrix and Procol Harum, made possible by producer (and Beatle) George Harrison. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to this British gem, its music, atmosphere, and quotable lines remain timeless.

On the big screen, Eddington, Ari Aster’s latest psychological epic starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Austin Butler, blends surreal paranoia with small-town folklore. Meanwhile, Back to the Future returns for a special Kinepolis screening, reminding us why Marty McFly’s time-travel adventure still draws you in. Over in the Luxembourg box office, How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch soar with live-action reboots, while 28 Years Later brings unsettling post-apocalyptic thrills.

In movie news, Channing Tatum headlines Roofman, a wild true story about a McDonald’s roof-raiding criminal hiding out in a Toys 'R' Us, while Tron: Ares sees Jared Leto lead a new digital rebellion with a raw industrial soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails. Plus, Ron Howard’s Eden explores survival, betrayal, and the collapse of Utopian dreams, with Jude Law and Ana de Armas front and center.

Streaming fans, brace for Squid Game Season 3’s deadly new arena and MobLand 2’s crime-family drama with Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren. In gaming, Death Stranding 2 brings CHVRCHES back for a haunting soundtrack, while Marvel Mystic Mayhem stumbles with pay-to-win frustration.

We also remember composer Lalo Schifrin, whose iconic Mission: Impossible theme will live on.

That’s it for Screen Time, tune in next week for more reviews, news, and your chance to win Kinepolis tickets.
