This week’s episode of Screen Time kicks off with a celebration of the Batman Forever soundtrack

It was an unexpectedly acclaimed compilation that eclipsed the film itself. Featuring standout tracks from U2, Seal, PJ Harvey, and Nick Cave, the soundtrack is praised for its emotional depth and 90s alt-rock cohesion. Steps reflects on how certain tracks, like “Kiss from a Rose,” outlived the movie’s legacy and helped solidify the album as a rare case where the music became more iconic than the film.

The episode then dives into new and upcoming cinema at Kinepolis, spotlighting Sorry, Baby, an intimate, non-linear drama by Eva Victor tackling trauma and resilience, and a slate of remastered classics like Seven Samurai and Gone with the Wind.

In the Luxembourg box office top five, the buzz is all about big-screen spectacle: Jurassic World: Rebirth leads the pack, followed by F1 with Brad Pitt, and live-action reboots of How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch.

In movie news, we remember the late Michael Madsen, known for Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, and preview several buzzworthy titles. Riz Ahmed stars in the thriller Relay, Robert Aramayo portrays a Tourette’s advocate in I Swear, and Pamela Anderson joins Liam Neeson in a comedic reboot of The Naked Gun.

Streaming highlights include the Apple TV+ historical epic Chief of War starring Jason Momoa, and a key music sync success for Luxembourg’s Francis of Delirium in Netflix’s Too Much.

The show wraps with a glowing review of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, praising its emotional storytelling and cinematic visuals while noting occasional repetition in gameplay.

Gaming news covers the passing of iconic Pokémon voice actor James Carter Cathcart and reports of multiple Fallout titles now in development due to the TV show’s success.

As always, trivia, giveaways, and another cut from the Batman Forever OST round off the episode.
