what makes a film "high quality" and (why) is that lacking in Nollywood?
Hi everyone,
In this episode I talk about what are the elements needed to make a film great quality, why nollywood films (and tv) lack those as a whole and some of the recent breakout works that manage to give quality without losing the cultural nuances, why high quality ≠ high art and why there’s a valid place for the full spectrum of entertainment that caters to all audiences
Thanks!

a conversation of media, culture and upbringing with woma
Today’s episode is a beautiful conversation with a long-term mutual of mine, woma (@womayorke (https://www.instagram.com/womayorke?igsh=MTFjdTEzemcwYTdpOQ==)), who writes as beautifully as she speaks — check out her poetry and media curation on The Meta Magazine (@angelsonmeta (https://www.instagram.com/angelsonmeta?igsh=ZGRpMGt0MnhqNHJi)).
Enjoy this conversation as we explore our evolving tastes as we age, navigate growing up in Lagos, and discuss how moving to America and the UK has contributed to our changes in outlook.
This was the first of many conversations about how people feel about the media they consumed and gravitated towards during their formative years and how they feel looking back on it — and how can we talk about media without bringing our cultural context into it?
What do you think about the music and overall media you used to love way back when, and why not try out some of the media we were talking about for yourself <3
Thank you for listening. As always, keep your eyes and ears open for the next episode!

Exploring Paris Blues (1961) - part 2
Part 2 of Paris Blues is finally out! Thank you so much for your patience as life caught up with me, and then I was able to take a much needed break and travel to the beautiful Kenya for the first time.
This episode recounts this movie after I watched it for the 5th time to bring you this wonderful episode, and deep dive into the main characters, Ram, Eddie, Lillian, and their dynamics between each other, as well as their relationships with other secondary characters, Marie and Gypsy.
Apologies for the long wait again and thank you for listening. As always, keep your eyes and ears open for the next episode!
