This week, on the only Malay-languaged film podcast in the world (possibly), Muz is stuck somewhere in the Klang Valley (perhaps), so Fikri sat down with Diaz Hernawan and discussed his current and future career as a cinematographer, as well as the differences between Malaysian and Indonesian cinema. We also look at ‘The Conjuring’ (a bit), as well as ‘Mobius’ by Vincent Laforet (a lot). All this and more on the only show in the world that releases its pre-Raya-recorded episodes months after Hari Raya (definitely)!
