All things screen covered here, in another fabulous episode
This week on Screen Time, Stephen "Steps" Lowe celebrated the enduring brilliance of the Jerry Maguire soundtrack, exploring how Cameron Crowe's carefully curated collection of songs from Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and The Who helped turn the film into a cultural touchstone.
We also looked ahead to two intriguing upcoming Kinepolis releases: Guy Ritchie's action thriller In the Grey, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill, and the acclaimed coming-of-age drama The President's Cake.
Our movie news roundup featured Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning, the survival thriller Heart of the Beast starring Brad Pitt, the first trailer for Bollywood comedy sequel Welcome To The Jungle, and a look at some of the biggest upcoming releases including Masters of the Universe, Supergirl and Toy Story 5.
We also counted down this week's most anticipated films, with Scary Movie taking the top spot ahead of Obsession, The Amazing Digital Circus, Michael and The Mandalorian and Grogu.
In streaming news, we discussed Netflix's new Little House on the Prairie adaptation, the upcoming Peaky Blinders sequel series and paid tribute to beloved actor Anthony Head, known to generations of fans from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ted Lasso.
Reviews this week included a three-star verdict for The Mandalorian and Grogu, praised for its spectacle but criticised for feeling a little too familiar, and a four-star recommendation for Apple TV+'s gloriously chaotic thriller Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, led by a terrific performance from Tatiana Maslany.
Gaming fans were treated to updates from Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Showcase, including news of Guild Wars 3, Alien Isolation 2, Fable and Persona 4: Revival.
We also looked at Studio MDHR's plans to expand the Cuphead universe and discussed Crossfire, an exciting new shooter from former Naughty Dog and Bungie developers.
As always, the show wrapped up with a fun film fact and a reminder to head to RTL Play to catch up on previous episodes of Screen Time.
