Our culture vulture Kam Raslan welcomes regular guests, Zan Azlee and Ong Kar Jin on another thought-provoking episode of A Bit of Culture. Since they’re both guys, Kam starts the show by talking about the concept of machismo, and their perspectives on it. Zan then reflects on the various types of Malaysian sports movies that are available out there after watching the recently released Padu The Movie and how fun and important these movies are, despite following certain tropes. Afterwards, things get more philosophical and heavy, as Kar Jin talks about our memories and how the way we remember things might not necessarily be how we think it is. Tune in to find out more!
