The one where the guys discussed the cultural relevancy of award seasons and how important it is when it comes down to a film's merit. We talked about how FINAS set its ambitious sight onto the grand stage of Oscars in the next two years, whether or not kids these days really give a hoot about awards and the films that got them. Finally, do we really remember the fact that 'The King's Speech' won all the Oscars back in 2011?

The one where the guys reassessed one of the games that set the highest precedent in video game storytelling; Naughty Dog's 2013 shooter action-adventure masterpiece,The Last of Us. We spoke about the first time we popped the disc in, the wave of emotions and psychological toll it brought us weeks after finishing it, how it changes the narrative of gaming industry and the technology along with it and our thoughts on the upcoming HBO limited-series adaptation and the very hotly anticipated sequel.

And, we're back! Boy, has it been an eventful week in the year thus far; police brutality and riots over in The States, rockets flying into space again, our brief thoughts on the new FINAS chairman, implementing safety protocols in local film sets, and a certain controversial comment made by an ex-Miss Malaysia. All in the midst of the world slowly recovering from the clutches of Covid-19.

Welcome back AWR peeps! To low key celebrate the release of the new trailer for Christopher Nolan's upcoming mind-f*ckery that is 'Tenet'; we talked all things movie trailers for this episode. The good. The bad. The worst and/or annoying side of it. And our argument how it's essentially a work of art in today's Internet age and why it's still relevant and sometimes more entertaining than the final product itself.

This week, we got Derek back again with us! He shared a little about his busy work and we got to talking about space-related topics seeing as Earth hasn't been looking that good lately. We discussed about Tom Cruise & Elon Musk's potential movie in actual space, space movies that we could see ourselves living in and also that Azhar Ali/NASA scandal that circulated two weeks before.

Greetings, fellow home dwellers! The guys got down and dirty this week as they discussed about the impact and changes that may hit cinemas post COVID-19 and how it might affect the movie-going experience altogether. That's why we want all of you to be good boys and girls by staying home so that we can go to the cinemas safely again. They also briefly talked about the Better Call Saul finale for season 5 and gave their recommendations to watch. Do check them out on Netflix!

All the salutations and welcome back to yet another addition of AWR! It's an episode choke-full of recommendations; we talked about the recently-premiered 'Killing Eve' season 3, the undying charm of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Dan Harmon's vital voice on 'Community', 'Better Call Saul's fast-approaching season finale....and then some more!

Welcome back, AWR peeps! We have here an esteemed guest of the hour. He's an accomplished writer-director. A known producer within the local scene. A book publisher.
