What are you planning to watch next? 

I'm going to watch Train to Busan by Yeon Sang-Ho.


What are you currently reading?

The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace Wells.


Are you listening to a podcast or any music that you'd recommend?

I just finished Have You Heard George's Podcast by George The Poet, which is great!

The music I would recommend is My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless and Kehlani's 2020 Album It Was Good Until It Wasn't.


Do you have a favourite cinema memory?

OI don't have a favourite specific memory but a recent good one was watching Bong Joon-ho's Parasite at Picturehouse Central.

You can watch The Last tree here. 




Shola Amoo interviewed The Last Tree star Sam Sam Adewunmi for the Picturehouse Podcast with co-host Corrina Antrobus last year.  We'd recommend giving it a listen here.
