Things That We Talk About

It's been over a month since The Batman came out in theatres but due to work, life and well, the Rona, we weren't able to catch the movie as early as we hoped. Better late than never, right? Here's our review of Robert Pattinson's Batman that received many polarising opinions!  

Can the glittering vampire shed his Twilight image with Batman? How was the on-screen chemistry between him and Catwoman? Would we watch a sequel of Robert Pattinson's Batman? We discuss all that and more in this week's episode!

And we're back with Season 3! After taking a short break to refresh, reflect and realign ourselves, we're here to talk about how we plan to move forward with a new mindset this year. We also welcomed our good friend, John Tan Jiun Wuu, back to the podcast! We last spoke to John virtually on Episode 28 last year, so we're happy to finally be in the same space for a good chat and catch-up.

In this season premiere, we talked about our achievements in 2021 despite being a tough year, our goals for 2022, and what we're most looking forward to this year. A lot of interesting and unexpected topics came up in this conversation, so do join us for a good mix of laughter and real talk in this episode!

How has 2022 been for you so far? We'd love to hear about your plans and goals for the year too, do share with us!

Happy 2022, everybody! We decided to kick off the year with a bang by reviewing yet another highly anticipated movie. You know it... #SpiderManNoWayHome is easily the best movie of 2021 and one of the best Marvel films of all-time. Eugene is back with us in this fresh new year episode as we tried to hold back from all the fanboying and fangirling.  

Disclaimer: This episode contains spoilers, so stay away if you haven't seen the movie. Where have you been?!  

In this latest episode, we talk about what we loved about the latest Spider-Man instalment, our favourite moments from the movie, and debate which is ultimately the best Spider-Man.

#DaruratBanjir: This was the last thing we expected to happen after watching Spider-Man: No Way Home last weekend. Klang Valley and several states in Malaysia were hit by one of the worst floods in decades after more than 48 hours of non-stop rain. Tens of thousands of people have since lost their cars, homes, personal belongings, and some sadly lost their lives.

We were caught in Shah Alam as the flood waters were rising and we couldn't get out to any of the major highways because all roads heading home were either flooded or clogged up. We had no other choice but to camp overnight in the car with the flood surrounding us while waiting for the water to subside. Thankfully, we managed to get out after 24 hours.  

Of course, what we experienced is nothing compared to those who have lost everything in the flood. But if there's one thing we learned from this incident, it's that the people only have each other to count on. Listen to our full story in this week's episode!

Two weeks ago, a video of a Form One student being beaten up by his peers circulated on social media and angered Malaysians. This incident took place in the wee hours of the morning at a boarding school in Kuala Kangsar. The 10 bullies involved have since been expelled by the school. But is this punishment enough? 

Bullying cases have been going on in Malaysian schools and higher education institutions for years, some of which led to fatalities like the tragic incidents back in 2017. Why does this keep happening here? In this episode, we talk about our personal experiences with bullying, what is in the mind of these bullies, and what should the authorities do about this.

Have you ever witnessed this kind of bullying when you were in school? Do you think bullying is getting worse or has it always been this way? Tell us what you think!

Recently, we keep hearing about the prices of vegetables, Gardenia bread, and more increasing, which sounds like a never-ending battle Malaysians face as we grow older. Some reports said that this price hike is the highest in about 20 years! So why are things becoming more expensive but our salaries  remain the same?

In this episode, we find out what's causing this recent spike in vegetable prices, why you don't hear of younger generations working as farmers, and the projected8 2.8% increment in Malaysian salaries next year (sure or not?). Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

We know that the #SquidGame fire has probably died a little by now but the creators had just confirmed news of a second season earlier this week. So we decided to come back to dissect the latest South Korean #Netflix original series that took the world by storm in all its colourful and bloody glory.   

In this episode, we break down all nine episodes and try to figure out how or why Squid Game became such a global pop culture phenomenon despite playing the survival game concept that we're all familiar with.

The time has finally come for us to talk about one of the most hyped movies of the year, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Rings! Eugene joins us again in our first physical podcast recording since the lockdown and we're extremely hyped about the latest Marvel film to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). 

Disclaimer: This episode is full of spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie, we suggest you come back again later. 

In this episode, we discuss what we love about the movie, the Chinese culture that was portrayed, the fascinating mythical creatures, and of course, the incredibly talented cast, including the legendary Tony Leung! 

Let us think your thoughts about Shang-Chi and what you would rate the movie. We want to hear from you!

We are finally talking about one of our favourite topics, Japan and Korea! If you've never experienced even the slightest touch of the global phenomenon that is Japanese and Korean culture, especially here in Malaysia, you must be living under a rock. In this episode, we discuss when we were first aware and exposed to both countries in terms of pop culture, entertainment, food, technology and more. We also attempt to figure out how and why these two East Asian countries are so prevalent today and what makes their global position so invincible. 

Are you a fan of either one? Have you had prior misconceptions of Japanese and Korean culture that have shifted tremendously today? We'd love to hear from you!
