Are We Rolling?

The one where the guys gave their two cents on the American Election, CMCO Round 2, Kuman Picture's Oscar submission of Roh, and we paid a tiny tribute to the late great, Sir Sean Connery, who recently passed. We also discussed about his controversial past that was brought up in light of his passing and we asked ourselves what it's all really about and how we treat these public figures in 2020. * Got something to comment?

After a 2 week hiatus, we are back with yet another new episode of AWR and this time we're quietly celebrating the ghostly festivity this time of year as we share with you our favorite horror movies of all time.

A low key one this week as the boys tackled two topics for this episode; China released their own version of Mulan to a less-than-enthusiastic reception and an 80's comic book God, Alan Moore, came out of his self-imposed media exile to give his latest take on the current climate of superhero movies. Also, this episode was recorded a few hours after the recent announcement of the CMCO by the ministry (to be effective Oct 14th 'till 27th). In the meantime, heed the rules and stay safe! * Looking Forward To 1) Mank (David Fincher, Netflix) --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMzJW0XBImE&t=86s * Reach out to us!

The guys gave their thoughts on the current COVID situation, briefly reminisced over old Yasmin Ahmad's contents and glossed over the cultural significance on why film criticism is so needed in this country. Derek also gave his thoughts on Netflix's latest original film from Malaysian writer/director, Adrian Teh's, comedy-caper, 'Pasal Kau!'. Warning, most of it will sound like a major rant.

It's back to our usual segment as the boys recap TV's biggest night in the 72nd Emmy Awards! They talk about their favorite winners, predictable outcomes and how the first virtual awards show really fared. Also, Lulu Wang has made headlines when she called out Ron Howard for being involved in a biopic movie about a famous pianist from China named Lang Lang.

Ay, Garrick's back for this week's episode where the topic at hand seemingly rests on the cyclical nature of life and death. We talk briefly about the passing of King T'Challa himself, Chadwick Boseman (Get On Up, 42, Black Panther, Da 5 Bloods) and we segued into Charlie Kaufman's idiosyncratic career thus far as we dived into his latest film, I'm Thinking of Ending Things (Netflix). Plus, there will be a spoiler chat on 37:00 mark onwards so stay off if you haven't seen the film yet. * Chadwick Boseman passed away on August 28, 2020. He was 43. Rest in peace. * Reach out to us!

Garrick's out for the week so it's up to Derek to fill in and before he makes a fool out of himself, familiar friends Andy and Victor hopped on and made sure everything is not awkward this week. They talked about Mulan, the new Dune trailer, R-Patz being Covid-positive and what both Andy and Victor really thinks about Tenet. * Apologies to the audio issue that popped up this week yet again if you're wondering why there's a break in the middle. * Reach out to us!

This is our spoiler-heavy review of Christopher Nolan's Tenet so listen at your own risk! We went. We saw. We had thoughts. This is probably Nolan's most challenging film to date and we can tell that it's not going to please everyone. A filmmaker of his stature has all the players and environments to play with, but when does it feel like it's going too far? Or are we just not able to comprehend it thoroughly? Let us know what you think if you've seen the film and don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Spotify if you enjoy our stuff. Tenet is currently still playing in all theaters! * Reach out to us!

The one where it's all about Christopher Nolan. Yes, the guys at AWR took a quick look back at the acclaimed writer/director's career thus far, his penchant on telling unique stories within the Hollywood studio system and what exactly do people mean when they say the term "Nolan-esque" as we slowly segue into our hot takes on Tenet, his latest time-bending take on the spy thriller convention. * Tenet is now playing in cinemas nationwide. Go watch it! * Also a side note, we've hit the big three-o! Yes, it's our 30th episode and what a year it has been so far. Just wanna take this quick opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who has been there since the beginning of time and those who are currently reading this very word right this second. Yes, I do see you. * Reach out to us!

General consensus at the house of AWR: we love Charlie Kaufman and all of his glorious and idiosyncratic work of art. His new film, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, is going to be out on September 4th on Netflix so we thought we'd look back and discuss thoroughly at one of his masterpieces = 2004's Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Jim Carrey. Kate Winslet. Post-LOTR Elijah Wood. Beardless and pre-Hulk Mark Ruffalo. Spiderman's Kirsten Dunst. This film has everyone. It's also regarded as one of the best films ever made globally and we had so much fun digging through Kaufman's brain in this. * You can find us at: Garrick's IG: https://www.instagram.com/garricksee/ Derek's IG: https://www.instagram.com/derek_lim/ Victor's IG: https://www.instagram.com/victorchenyeefei/ Andy's deets: www.andygomes90.wixsite.com/andy * While you're here, you can still find our previous episodes over on our regular show over at: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TI84my9gw54CTt82kvgkq. * Like us on Facebook!: https://www.facebook.com/arewerollingpodcast Or write to us!: arewerollingmy@gmail.com * And finally, thanks for listening!

What's up everybody and welcome to a brand new week! On this episode, Garrick spills a little tea on what he's been up to in the past month or so with a project that he's been working on. Plus, we discussed a bit about movie set dynamics and why a fun working environment is important for crew's overall morale. Lastly, we touched on Blumhouse's latest collaboration with Amazon Studios. * Plus, not paid by Warner Bros, but a friendly reminder that Tenet is finally hitting cinemas on 26th August! * Reach out to us!

Also, we will have an exclusive sit down discussion with the writer/director himself, Emir Ezwan, on our next show and we're really excited to get all the spoiler-filled details from him so do watch this space.

Reunited and it feels so good~~ We finally recorded in the same room after all those months of separation. Needless to say, there were lots of hugs. And, to celebrate our return we decided to have actress, Joyce Harn, as our special guest! We caught up with her about her plans thus far post-MCO, chat about her recent role in Zahir Omar's critically-acclaimed film, Fly By Night, and what it was like working on that set plus we even got to know a few horror audition stories from her. Also, if you've followed her on Instagram you would've known that she's a big bookworm and she really wants to set up a book club so hit her up if you're interested!

Our good friend and theatre buff, Tan Meng Kheng (people call him Meng) joins us this week! He's been in tons of stage and film productions playing all sorts of roles, which is why he's the perfect person to talk to about this week's topic. Due to the recent outburst of actors in Hollywood dropping out of their roles because of race/skin color issues, we wanted to know what the definition of an actor REALLY means. Do they still have the luxury of playing any character or are they limited by what they look like or who they are? Where's the line drawn between misappropriation and pretend performance? Meng shares his delightful insights and it's safe to say that we look forward to having him back again! Follow Meng here! --> https://www.instagram.com/mengkheng/ Reach out to us!

Welcome back, AWR peeps! We have here an esteemed guest of the hour. He's an accomplished writer-director. A known producer within the local scene. A book publisher.

While everyone's self-quarantined at home, we also gave some suggestions on what movies to watch to pass those lonely times. Until then: stay hygienic. Sanitize yourself. Don't panic. And don't start a fight over tissue rolls. Please. (Ed: Really sorry for the incessant beeping noise in the background on the first half. It was a technical error. My bad. Keep listening though!)

Ladies and gents of the pod-world: welcome to our very first Spoilercast! Where we tear apart movie endings and talk major, major spoilersss so heed upon this warning: Proceed with caution of pressing play in case you haven't seen the movie we're going to talk about. Because you're gonna find out who's dead and who's not. And then some. This week, it's 'The Invisible Man', written and directed by Leigh Whannell (he who co-created 'Saw' franchise alongside James Wan and 2018's hugely-underrated sci-fi action 'Upgrade') and it's currently still playing in the theater near you. Suffice to say, well....we have opinions on it, ranging from how fantastic the first hour was...down to that slightly divisive ending. Watch 'The Invisible Man' first though. You have been warned. Now, enjoy the pod...as we skulked around the corner of the room as you do. The movie is still playing over at GSC, TGV, and MBO Cinemas. Reach out to us and tell us what you think of the movie: Garrick's IG: https://www.instagram.com/garricksee/ Derek's IG: https://www.instagram.com/derek_lim/ Email: arewerollingmy@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
