The Goggler Podcast

Co-producers Yuki Pang and Jani Kuronen join The Goggler Podcast to talk about Fleak, their new animated feature. We talk about the case for Malaysia as one of the most underrated animation hubs anywhere — a talent pool that doesn’t get the international attention it deserves, before turning the conversation turns to Fleak itself: the inspirations behind the film, the Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton DNA running through its tone and temperament, and the team’s deliberate refusal to soften the story’s darker corners for a young audience.

On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, we unwrap Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the Evil Dead Rise director’s gnarly, Blumhouse-produced reimagining that trades ancient pharaohs for a family nightmare. Then we binge our way through Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat on Prime Video, the follow-up to the Emmy-nominated hidden-camera comedy that swaps the courtroom for a corporate offsite at a fictional hot sauce company, with an unsuspecting temp named Anthony at the centre of it all. And finally, we take on Michael, Antoine Fuqua’s estate-approved Michael Jackson biopic starring the King of Pop’s real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson, which opened to a record-shattering $217 million globally and divided critics and audiences along very familiar lines.

Big emotions all round this week. We review the long-awaited third season of Euphoria and the aptly titled The Drama, digging into performances, storytelling choices, and whether the hype was justified. We also break down the final trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu — what it reveals, what it’s hiding, and whether it’s enough to get us genuinely excited again for Star Wars on the big screen.

Comfort food, Sith Lords, and therapy, all in one episode. We review Pizza Movie, the Star Wars series Maul: Shadow Lord, and the third season of Shrinking. We also get into a discussion that’s been bugging us for a while: why do so many modern TV shows look so meh? We talk production values, lighting choices, and whether the streaming era has quietly lowered the visual bar for television.

Two wildly different properties and one giant leap for mankind on this week’s episode. We review the Australian murder-mystery comedy Deadloch and Nintendo’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, talking tone, humour, and whether either one sticks the landing. Then we nerd out about NASA’s Artemis II mission — what it means, why it matters, and how it feels to be alive at a time when we’re genuinely heading back to the moon.

This week, we’ve got a packed show. We review the action horror comedy They Will Kill You, Ryan Gosling’s spacefaring adventure Project Hail Mary, and Riz Ahmed’s brilliant meta-meditation on being South Asian and Bond in Bait. We dig into what works, what doesn’t, and whether any of them are worth your time and money. Then also talk trailers — specifically the live action Moana and the upcoming Harry Potter reboot series on HBO Max.

On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, we dive headfirst into the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day – the most-watched movie trailer in history. We also review GOAT, Sony Pictures Animation’s slick, Spider-Verse-styled sports comedy about a tiny goat trying to make it in a brutal basketball-like sport called “Roarball.” And finally, we talk Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, in which Samara Weaving returns as Grace, this time dragging her estranged sister through a blood-soaked gauntlet of elite families competing for ultimate power. Is it as good as the original? We have thoughts.

On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, we review Bonsai Warrior, the documentary that follows Masashi Hirao — the last apprentice of legendary bonsai master Kato Saburo — as he travels across 11 countries to modernise an ancient art form. We dig into what makes this such a compelling watch: the tension between tradition and rebellion, the weight of a master’s legacy, and whether Hirao’s globe-trotting mission is an act of defiance or devotion.

We dig into the controversy surrounding Timothée Chalamet’s comments about opera and ballet — what he said, why it landed the way it did, and whether the backlash is warranted or overblown. Then we turn to the screen: we review the long-awaited new season of Scrubs and ask whether the beloved comedy still has the heart and the humour that made it a classic. Plus, we review The President’s Cake, and we take a look at Pixar’s latest, Hoppers — does it mark a return to form for the studio, or is it another swing and a miss?

This week’s Ask Us Anything takes us from a galaxy far, far away, with plenty to say about The Mandalorian & Grogu, to the cold, unsettling corridors of Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. We weigh in on how cinema has historically grappled with conflict in the context of the ongoing Iran war, debate what the future of HBO looks like for Malaysian audiences, and get into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about whether the cinema-going experience, as we know it, is on borrowed time.
