Students on De Montfort University’s Music, Film and Entertainment Journalism module pick the films, plays, music, TV shows and books that shaped them
My favourite TV show
How to Get Away with Murder will always be my favourite thriller. The plot twist, the cast and script is something I haven’t seen bettered. I plan to watch this with my future kids. Annalise Keating is a character who will always remain stuck in my head.
The worst TV show I ever saw
Beauty in Black by Tyler Perry is one of the worst shows, even though I couldn’t stop watching. The scenes were all over the place. The show has about 150 plots at once. Perry threw every idea imaginable into this. The only scene I remember was Tamera Kissen who played the character Rain getting peer pressured to get a bbl from a street nurse and ended up botched.
The TV show I’m currently binging
I am a sucker for reality TV – The Real Housewives; Dubai Bling; Young, Famous and African… I love watching the rich show off their lifestyle and I love the drama that comes with it. Dubai Bling has to be my all time favourite – the display of wealth is insane. Lambos, Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, Rolexes, Birkins… Safa hosting an event to bid her Ferrari farewell was the funniest thing.
The last film I saw
The last film I saw was so bad that it’s out of my memory. I have a two-minute attention span. Once that window is closed, I completely forget about the whole film and turn to my bed.
Favourite band and lyrics
I am a religious person and Warehouse Worship are my favourite gospel band. The goosebumps I get while worshipping has to be my favourite feeling. My current obsession is the line ‘I enter the holy of Holies, I enter through the blood of the lamb.’
The book I’m currently reading
I was never a fan of books but my all-time favourite is Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver, a spirit-filled woman of God. This book has taught me how to submit as a woman, how to multitask in the right way.
My guilty pleasure
I’m a total gym rat, but I can’t resist ditching the meal plan for some good comfort food pizza, burgers, or anything that’s definitely not on the ‘clean eating’ list. Work hard, eat harder
