Anwar (@nooranwarhadi) and Taka (@takaharasuiko) drop by the podcast to talk a looooot about a lotta things. The first half with Taka is a lot more fun and breezy while the second half after Taka leaves gets reallllly in the weeds about sketch comedy with possibly no real insight. It was fun to record though.
In the episode:
- Taka talks about the difficulties of making film & TV, Muz offers his thoughts on writers who are also directors, and Anwar's true feelings about movies are revealed.
- Taka then talks about how she fell in love with Anwar again, which really should be on Buah Mulut instead of this podcast.
- Anwar talks about the difficulties of working with children for the first time and the balance between 'sticking to the script' & 'playing with the scene'
- Muz explores the meaning of days, why people begin their sentences with "tak", what an alien means when they say "take me to your leader", what aliens look like, extradimensional beings, and flat earthers.
- Finally, there's a long-ass exploration of Australian absurdist comedy, the British surrealist tradition, and Malay folk humour. It's really long and tedious.
