Samara Weaving hauls her PS5 around the world for movies

Samara Weaving, known for Ready or Not, The Babysitter, Azrael and Over Your Dead Body, appears on Shelf Quest to talk about the intersections of her acting career and her love of games.

Her latest film, Carolina Caroline, is a crime thriller with nods to True Romance and Bonnie and Clyde, a shift that suits an actor who frequently pivots between horror, comedy and genre turns.

On the show she traces summers spent at a friend’s house playing PlayStation, explains how she literally hauls a PlayStation 5 around the world in her luggage, and goes deep on The Sims. Expect a passionate ode to Red Dead Redemption, some specific grievances about Red Dead Redemption 2, and a detour into Game Boy memories.

Glamorous but undeniably a gamer, Weaving comes across candid, self-deprecating and enthusiastic. By the end of the episode it’s easy to imagine her as the perfect lead for a future video game adaptation.
