TGP #765: Spidey Senses, Slam Dunks, and Samara’s Blood-Soaked Encore

On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, we dive headfirst into the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day – the most-watched movie trailer in history. We also review GOAT, Sony Pictures Animation’s slick, Spider-Verse-styled sports comedy about a tiny goat trying to make it in a brutal basketball-like sport called “Roarball.” And finally, we talk Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, in which Samara Weaving returns as Grace, this time dragging her estranged sister through a blood-soaked gauntlet of elite families competing for ultimate power. Is it as good as the original? We have thoughts. READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME AND GOAT ARE NOW SHOWING IN MALAYSIAN CINEMAS.

TGP #764: JFF Theater: Bonsai Warrior

On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, we review Bonsai Warrior, the documentary that follows Masashi Hirao — the last apprentice of legendary bonsai master Kato Saburo — as he travels across 11 countries to modernise an ancient art form. We dig into what makes this such a compelling watch: the tension between tradition and rebellion, the weight of a master’s legacy, and whether Hirao’s globe-trotting mission is an act of defiance or devotion.

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.
