Screen Time: Episode 43 - 26.09.25
Screen Time packs a week’s worth of film, TV, and gaming news into one slick ride.
We kick things off with streaming picks, cinema previews, and a fresh edition of Show Tunes, all while spotlighting the timeless soundtrack to The Big Chill, a Motown-rich mixtape that defined a generation and still sets the bar for movie music.
Big-screen highlights include The Life of a Showgirl, Lana Wilson’s intimate Taylor Swift concert-doc, and Depeche Mode: M, Anton Corbijn’s artful portrait of the synth legends. Steps also runs down Luxembourg’s Kinepolis Top 5, led by anime juggernaut Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, haunted by The Conjuring: Last Rites, and revved up by Brad Pitt’s adrenaline-charged F1.
On the news front, there’s plenty to get excited about: James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash teases fiery new tribes on Pandora, Gerard Butler braves a shattered world in Greenland 2: Migration, and Maggie Gyllenhaal reimagines Frankenstein with The Bride, starring Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley. TV buzz includes Apple TV plus' delayed thriller The Savant, Guinness dynasty drama House of Guinness, and the psychological series The Girlfriend.
Gaming fans aren’t left out either, Marvel’s Wolverine claws toward a 2026 release, Pokémon celebrates 30 years with a London pop-up, and Fortnite unveils an immersive Daft Punk Experience. Top it off with a sharp mini-review of Alien: Earth (FX/Disney+), where Timothy Olyphant, Sydney Chandler, and a nightmare creature named T. Ocellus make the Xenomorphs scary again, and you’ve got a jam-packed episode that keeps you firmly ahead of the curve.
