In this episode, we dive into two very different returns to familiar worlds. First up, it’s a cosmic upgrade for everyone’s favourite plumber in The Super Mario Bros Galaxy Movie – a colourful, high-energy adventure that trades the Mushroom Kingdom for outer space. Then, we shift gears to Season 3 of Shrinking, where the therapy sessions get messier, the relationships more complicated, and the show continues to balance grief and humour in a way that feels both sharp and disarmingly honest. Then on Take 2, we discuss our favourite Harrison Ford performances.

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie + Shrinking S3

We review Michael, the biopic on Michael Jackson, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role. Then, we discuss the acclaimed comedy drama series, Beef, which is back with another season and a whole new cast of characters. This time, it follows two couples (Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as one pair, alongside Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny) divided by generation, wealth, power and crumbling marriages. Then, on Take Two we ask you: What’s a movie or show where the vibe (like the music, wardrobe, or overall mood) really made the experience for you?

Throughout the month of March, The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions were released in Malaysia for the first time in conjunction with the franchise’s 25th anniversary. The Lord of the Rings, based on J. R. R. Tolkien's magnum opus novel of the same name, is, of course, one of the most celebrated film franchises of all time.
