    TTWTA EP52: Does Slam Dunk Make You A Better Basketball Player? (feat. John Tan Jiun Wuu)

    The fanboys are out to play! This week, our good friend John joins us to review the first ever 'Slam Dunk' movie, based on the popular manga and anime series created by Takehiko Inoue. 'The First Slam Dunk' is basically the story that takes place after the end of anime as the Shohoku high school basketball team faces the the the inter-high basketball champions, Sannoh, in an intense final. The movie also centres around the point guard Ryota Miyagi, and his childhood in Okinawa.  As you can see from all the Slam Dunk merchandise laid out on the table, the boys are very excited to discuss the long-awaited movie that many fans have waited nearly 20 years to see. If you're also an anime, basketball or Slam Dunk fan, let us know what you think about the movie and this special review in the comments!

Rahman's concert in Malaysia, the unfortunate expulsion of Khairy Jamaluddin from UMNO, the upcoming local horror film 'Pulau' that drew a lot of heat on social media, and more.

    TTWTA EP50: How Was Our 2022?

    We made it to 50 episodes! When we started this, we didn't think we could even hit five episodes. But we proved ourselves wrong and pushed forward 10 times more! We couldn't have done it without our friends and family's support and of course, each other. Here's to another 50!  As we welcome the new year, we look back at 2022 to wrap up some key events that have happened personally, locally and internationally, from entertainment to politics. And let us know what were some of the most significant events to you in the past year.   Happy New Year, guys!

  5. TTWTA EP48: What Happened To Mr And Mrs Bossku?

    TTWTA EP48: What Happened To Mr And Mrs Bossku?

    We recorded this episode back in early September but unfortunately, life and work got in the way, again. We apologise for the late upload! But this remains a high profile case that will be discussed for a long, long time. Since we're all about Malaysian politics lately, think of this episode as a throwback to the verdict we were all waiting for!  In this episode, we talk about the reactions that came after former Malaysian Prime Minister’s 12-year prison sentence, followed by a 10-year jail sentence for his wife.  That's just after one trial, and there are four more to go in relations to the infamous couple. Let's wait and see what else will unfold next!  We're also on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, so make sure you follow us on all platforms! Email us at ttwtapodcast@gmail.com.

  6. TTWTA EP47: What's Up With OPR And Inflation?

    TTWTA EP47: What's Up With OPR And Inflation?

    Are this strange terms to you? Is this the first time you're hearing such lingo? If your answer is yes, you should start paying attention because you're gonna be hearing more about this in the coming months! We've talked about price hikes and expensive groceries several episodes ago, but things are getting serious again because prices of food and essentials are STILL increasing. This year, Bank Negara Malaysia increased the overnight policy rate or OPR twice, which means you need to start paying more for your housing and personal loans. They say that this is a sign of economic growth and a way to manage inflation. In this episode, we attempt to dive deeper into this very complicated topic, but it's something we feel is important to talk about because it affects our daily lives. We hope we explained it accurately and well enough! Have you been feeling the pitch in your daily spendings or when you eat out lately? How are you managing your monthly expenses now?

    TTWTA EP46: What's Life After SPM?

    The latest SPM results came out a few weeks ago and we celebrated with 18-year-olds around Malaysia for making it through the national exams after another year in the pandemic. But a couple of videos started going around on TikTok with students showing off straight G's in their results, which got us wondering, do SPM results still matter today?   In this episode, we talk about life after SPM, whether it matters if you're in the Science or Arts stream, and what are your options if your results weren't what you expected. We're here to share a thing or two about what we learned from sitting for important exams like this. If you have an interesting SPM story of your own, do share with us in the comments or slide into our DMs! We're also on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, so make sure you follow us on all platforms!

    TTWTA EP45: Do You Believe In The Multiverse?

    There have been a number of movies recently released that explores the concept of multiverse, like #DoctorStrangeMultiverseOfMadness and #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce starring our homegrown Michelle Yeoh. In this episode, we decided to dive deeper into the multiverse or alternate dimension theories we've been exposed to so far and what we understand from them.  What would you say to your alternate self from another dimension if you were to meet him/her one day? Have you seen your doppelgänger before? Do you believe that there is only one universe? Share your thoughts with us!
