HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’s Abubakar Salim loves THE DARK KNIGHT, POOR THINGS and the accent experiments of Tom Hardy

You know him for his tremendous performance as Alyn of Hull on HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, Abubakar Salim is a true renaissance man and multitalented creative. Starring in films like NAPOLEON, series like RAISED BY WOLVES and video games like  ASSASSIN’S CREED: ORIGINS. He’s also the creative force and director of Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a metroidvania style adventure game with a focus on poignant emotional storytelling. It was beyond a pleasure to wander through the shelves of the store with Abu while he was in Australia for SXSW Sydney (who we thank for the link up)! Follow ALEXEI TOLIOPOULOS on Letterboxd for all the rental combo lists. Here’s Abu’s picks!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The iconic star of video store favourites BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, VELVET GOLDMINE, MATCH POINT, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, I’LL SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD, THE TUDORS and so much more joins Alexei in the Last Video Store. Jonathan Rhys Meyers might be the most passionate and exploratory film lover we’ve had through our doors.

Follow ALEXEI TOLIOPOULOS on Letterboxd for all the rental combo lists. Here’s Jonathan Rhys Meyers favaourite films list.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
