This week, we pay tribute to two iconic performers who left an indelible mark on the screen and in our childhoods. We look back at the memorable careers of Tim Curry and Peter Cullen and the characters that made them household names.

After that, ahead of the long Merdeka weekend, the timing felt right to throw it back to a couple of films that celebrate Malaysia and Malaysianness. So we start off by discussing Yasmin Ahmad’s bittersweet final movie, Talentime (2009), and the love story and acknowledgement of multiculturalism at its heart. Then, we continue on to recommend Ola Bola (2016), a film inspired by the highs of the Malaysian football team that successfully got into the 1980 Summer Olympics.
