Adam talks with Jamaican writer Marlon James about the 80s, bad writing habits, heavy metal, why you should always consult Peter Gabriel about cultural appropriation, and the controversy that surrounded the 2019 Oscar winner for best film, 'Green Book'.

Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and to Matt Lamont for additional editing.
