Kam Raslan, Na’a Murad and Matt Armitage huddle up to talk about all things cultural and contemporary. Matt kicks off the conversation by wondering whether he should cancel his Spotify subscription, in light of the recent controversy involving Joe Rogan spreading misinformation via his podcast, which led to some prominent musicians leaving the platform. Na’a then ponders about what an ideal Malaysian superhero should look like, and what they should fight for and represent. Kam then gushes about Stranger Things and how it relates to the current generation, despite being set in the 80s.
