Luxembourg's only English language, one-hour show devoted to ALL things SCREEN

Episode 57 of Screen Time keeps things moving with another packed hour from RTL Today Radio, covering everything from box office movers to streaming standouts and gaming headlines worth your time.

This week’s featured soundtrack comes from Adventureland, with a closer look at why its carefully curated mix of late-’80s tracks from Crowded House to Lou Reed, has quietly earned modern classic status. It’s a reminder that the right music doesn’t just set the scene, it builds the world.

On the cinema front, new releases include the WWII-set Pressure, starring Andrew Scott and the action-heavy Mortal Kombat 2, which leans fully into tournament spectacle and franchise lore.

The Kinepolis Top 5 sees The Super Mario Galaxy Movie holding firm at number one, with Project Hail Mary continuing its strong run just behind, alongside steady performers like The Drama and Hoppers.

Elsewhere, the show rounds up key film headlines, including the stripped-back intensity of Godzilla Minus Zero, the political prequel The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, and the chaotic return of the Meet the Parents universe with Focker-In-Law, while Avengers: Doomsday hints at another major MCU shake-up.

Streaming picks include the slow-burn thriller Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, the final season of The Boys, and the crime drama Mint, alongside a Show Tunes spotlight on The Addams Family.

The episode’s main review turns to Scarpetta, starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis, which earns a disappointing two-star verdict, strong performances and chemistry undone by a convoluted, often implausible narrative.

The gaming segment rounds things out with updates on Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, new music from Dan Reynolds for Last Flag, and Lana Del Rey’s Bond-inspired track for 007 First Light, before closing with a classic behind-the-scenes moment from The Shining and, of course, the usual cinema ticket giveaway.
