Screen Time: Episode 46 31.10.25
Another packed hour of movie news, streaming picks, and sharp reviews, sound tracked by the glittering disco grooves of Saturday Night Fever
The Bee Gees’ legendary score took centre stage as this week’s featured soundtrack, celebrated for turning 1970s angst into dance-floor magic. Lowe reminded listeners that the album’s swaggering hits, from “Stayin’ Alive” to “Night Fever,” didn’t just define an era, they transformed cinema’s relationship with music.
At the cinema, new previews included Edgar Wright’s high-octane The Running Man starring Glen Powell, and Predator: Badlands, a bold spin-off exploring the alien hunter’s origins alongside Elle Fanning’s rogue android. In the Luxembourg box office charts, Kaamelott: Deuxième Volet jousted into fifth place, Tron: Ares dazzled in fourth, Regretting You tugged heartstrings in third, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc slashed into second, and One Battle After Another topped the week with Paul Thomas Anderson’s surreal, star-studded satire.
The week’s standout review was Netflix’s Black Rabbit earning four stars for its electric performances and smoky atmosphere. Directed by Ben Semanoff and created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, the series sees Jude Law and Jason Bateman locked in a tense, slow-burn clash of ambition and regret. It's “a warzone of emotion with espresso and danger on the menu,” with Steps praising its visual style even as he noted the plot’s occasional indulgence.
Elsewhere, Kogonada’s A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell drew three stars for its whimsical, bittersweet take on love and memory.
In streaming and gaming news, the show teased Stranger Things season 5 and It: Welcome to Derry, along with the return of The Mitchells vs the Machines.
