A bit late this week, but that’s because of some film work some of us got going on! Production schedules aside, check out the ninth episode of the only film podcast in Bahasa Malaysia! This episode has plenty of the New Waves in their sights, with Fikri and Muz discussing the granddaddy of them all, the French New Wave. They move on to Japan, Iran, Germany and Romania. Check out all the fun on the only podcast (definitely) that does not use up government funds to travel to these countries, despite having two government servants!
Lampu Limpah
- What’s a wave and what does the French have to do with it?
