Screen Time: Episode 42 - 19.09.25
Screen Time is your weekly shortcut to the best on big and small screens.
This week's show is stacked: we’ve streaming tips, fresh movie previews, gaming updates, and a brand-new round of Show Tunes, plus your chance to win cinema tickets. Strap in as we jump from charts to cult classics without missing a beat.
This week’s featured soundtrack is from the 1995 teen phenomenon Clueless, a film that reshaped ’90s style and attitude. Its playlist remains a time capsule of alt-rock, pop, and Britpop brilliance, with No Doubt, Radiohead, and Coolio providing the perfect backdrop to Cher’s Beverly Hills adventures. Nearly three decades later, the music still feels as sharp and stylish as the film’s plaid skirts.
On the movie front, we preview two big upcoming releases. The Strangers 2, directed by Renny Harlin, cranks up the dread with another round of masked home-invasion terror. And Stephen Daldry’s A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey, starring Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie, promises a sweeping, romantic adventure about love, fate, and second chances.
Luxembourg’s box office charts are buzzing too. The Conjuring: Last Rites scares its way to number one, while Downton Abbey 3 keeps period drama fans swooning. Anime epic Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and German cult comedy Das Kanu des Manitu round out a top five packed with variety.
We also dig into movie news, Paul Rudd and Jack Black head back to the Amazon for a wild Anaconda reboot, Dwayne Johnson transforms for the A24 biopic The Smashing Machine, and TV’s biggest winners at the Emmys include Netflix’s Adolescence and Seth Rogen’s record-breaking comedy The Studio.
Add in reviews of Nicolas Cage’s surreal The Surfer and the gripping Scandi-noir by way of Edinburgh, Dept Q, and you’ve got another episode brimming with screen-time essentials.
