Bond, Blood, Betrayal and a Very Unhappy Xenomorph

Some stories deserve a sequel. Others should probably have been left alone. This week on Screen Time, Stephen 'Steps' Lowe explores both, with the latest film, television, streaming and gaming news, a couple of reviews and a few surprises along the way.

Our Featured Soundtrack comes with a licence to kill as we explore the extraordinary history of James Bond themes, from Shirley Bassey and Paul McCartney to A-ha, Adele and Billie Eilish.

We're also looking ahead to the next 007 and wondering who deserves the honour of singing the franchise's next big musical statement. Elsewhere, Johnny Depp takes on Ebenezer Scrooge, The Hunger Games prepares another round of misery, Jamie Dornan faces the daunting task of following Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, and we remember the extraordinary Sir Patrick Stewart.

On the review front, Slow Horses earns four stars for another brilliantly dark outing, while Crystal Lake receives three for its entertaining mixture of gruesome kills, peculiar storytelling and increasingly tangled Friday the 13th mythology.

There's also a Fleetwood Mac documentary on the way, a Fallout reality competition that makes Big Brother look positively civilised, and the return of Ali G. Gaming gets equally unsettling, with a new Silent Hill remake, an Alien: Isolation sequel that can apparently hear you breathing, and a beautiful soundtrack for a Mass Effect game that never made it.

Throw in the Luxembourg cinema charts, Show Tunes and another gloriously unnecessary Fun Film Fact, and there's plenty to keep you occupied.

Screen Time airs Sunday at 3pm on RTL Today Radio and is available on demand via RTL Play.

One hour of entertainment recommendations, questionable decisions and considerably fewer arguments than a Fleetwood Mac recording session.
