    TGP #763: Culture Wars, Comeback Season, and Pixar’s Big Swing

    We dig into the controversy surrounding Timothée Chalamet’s comments about opera and ballet — what he said, why it landed the way it did, and whether the backlash is warranted or overblown. Then we turn to the screen: we review the long-awaited new season of Scrubs and ask whether the beloved comedy still has the heart and the humour that made it a classic. Plus, we review The President’s Cake, and we take a look at Pixar’s latest, Hoppers — does it mark a return to form for the studio, or is it another swing and a miss? You can watch Scrubs on Disney+. The President’s Cake is showing at selected GSC locations. And Hoppers opens in Malaysian cinemas on Wednesday, March 18.

    TGP #762: Mando, Kubrick, and Other Things Keeping Us Up at Night

    This week’s Ask Us Anything takes us from a galaxy far, far away, with plenty to say about The Mandalorian & Grogu, to the cold, unsettling corridors of Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. We weigh in on how cinema has historically grappled with conflict in the context of the ongoing Iran war, debate what the future of HBO looks like for Malaysian audiences, and get into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about whether the cinema-going experience, as we know it, is on borrowed time.

    Bahir and Uma break down the first trailer for HBO Max’s highly anticipated Lanterns, before diving into reviews of Prime Video’s swashbuckling action thriller The Bluff, Chloé Zhao’s emotionally devastating Hamnet, and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s wildly ambitious gothic romance, The Bride!

    TGP #760: Deep Waters and Deeper Drama

    In this episode, we plunge into the claustrophobic horror of Iron Lung and the slick intrigue of Crime 101, breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and why they’ve got everyone talking. Then we zoom out to the industry headlines, unpacking the recent BAFTA controversy and Netflix’s buzzy new documentary on America’s Next Top Model. Crime 101 and Iron Lung are now showing in Malaysian cinemas. You can watch Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model on Netflix.

    TGP #759: Time Loops and Time Lords

    Two wildly different worlds collide in this episode as we dive into Mondays: See You This Week and Nobunaga Concerto. One traps its characters in a hilariously existential office time loop; the other hurls a modern slacker into the chaos of feudal Japan. We unpack how both films bend time, identity, and destiny in their own distinct ways, while exploring what they reveal about ambition, responsibility, and the roles we’re forced to play. You can watch Mondays: See You This Week and Nobunaga Concerto, for free, at JFF Theater. Just click here to register and check out the movies on offer.

    TGP #758:  What Wins, What Lasts, What Matters

    We open the mailbag to tackle your questions on how Oscar selections really work, what makes Cinema Paradiso endure, what Iron Lung signals for indie filmmaking’s future, and whether celebrity activism actually matters. It’s an anything-goes conversation about prestige, passion, and the evolving power of movies.

    TGP #757: Briefs, Bugs, and Bot-Made Faces

    Three stories, one conversation: we review The Lincoln Lawyer and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, then tackle the thorny ethics of generative AI in a documentary about Lucy Letby. The Lincoln Lawyer and The Investigation of Lucy Letby are streaming on Netflix. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is now showing in Malaysian cinemas.

    TGP #756: Moody, Broody, and Misguided

    We head to the moors to unpack Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights and ask the question hovering over every adaptation: how far can you stray before you lose the storm? We dig into what’s gained, what’s flattened, and whether style and provocation have replaced the novel’s wild, unruly soul. “Wuthering Heights” is now showing in Malaysian cinemas.
