A Bit of Culture lives up to its name in this episode, with our host, Kam Raslan and his guests, Ong Kar Jin and Julian Yap bringing their A-game and cultural topics to this episode. Kam starts the show by talking about his love for Napoleon and the newly released movie, directed by Ridley Scott. Kar Jin follows that up by talking about epistolary novels and whether that format of storytelling can be replicated using contemporary media. In the second part of the show, Julian talks about concert movies, inspired by a slew of new concert films currently playing in the cinemas. Tune in for a wholesome time!
