We all have our favourite cult classic movies, but what are the ingredients that make them a "cult classic"? That's what Michael Gong is asking Kam Raslan and Matt Armitage on his return to A Bit of Culture. But before we get to that, Matt talks about whether we still need humans for our space travels, on the back of the successful Artemis II mission, while Kam talks about buzzwords, inspired by his recent read. Three topics, different takes — only on another classic episode of A Bit of Culture.

A Bit Of Culture

What Makes a Movie a Cult Classic?

Ong Kar Jin and Sudais Ferhard join Kam Raslan on this episode of A Bit of Culture to discuss fandoms, collectibles, and historicisation. Kam kicks off the episode with his observation on fandoms, inspired by his other show on the station, Just For Kicks, and how the pundits on that show are very loyal and protective of their teams. Then, Sudais talks about collectibles and the rabbit hole they can lead to if one is not careful, slightly inspired by his personal experiences. In the second part of the show, Kar Jin ponders about the moments we're living through now and how they will be historicised.

Passion, Possessions, and Posterity

A Bit of Culture is back with host Kam Raslan, accompanied by Vernon Adrian Emuang and Sheryll Paul, to talk about reading, syncretism, and comfort culture. Kam starts the show by reflecting on his reading habits and learning about how his guests read. Then, Vernon talks about syncretism, inspired by the Oxford English Dictionary's (OED) recent decision to add a few Malaysian words to its lexicon. In the second part of the show, Sheryll talks about returning to shows that bring her comfort every now and then. Three different topics that will tickle your curiosity from different angles.

Finding Comfort in Culture

A Bit of Culture returns from the Raya break with three topics that are unique in their own ways. Kam gets the ball rolling with a conversation on dying art forms, inspired by Timothée Chalamet's recent comment on opera and ballet. Then, it's Zan's turn to talk about critical thinking (or the lack thereof) among students in higher education these days, with Marion chiming in with her experiences. In the second part of the show, Marion reflects on the deaths of those around her and what those experiences have taught her. Three different topics that are sure to get your mind racing.
