Evening Edition

Every year we see a huge number of biopics and historical films released by filmmakers around the world that are based on, or inspired by particular historical moments or historical personalities. We know the bigger titles like Gandhi, about the leader of India's non-violent freedom movement against British rule in the country; Titanic, the British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean; Les Miserables which is based loosely on French history after the French Revolution. On Talkback Thursday today, we're asking: What moment in Malaysian history would you like to see on the big screen? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Ili first came into the office, we saw a very interesting box with her, and lo and behold, it contained some of the best brownies we’ve ever tasted. We’re pretty sure they contained some addictive substance and we wanted more! But, we had to restrain ourselves. As expected, Ili was bubbly, friendly and easy to talk to. Plus, there will never be another show where all of our stories are feline-related. If you enjoyed what you’ve heard, then check out our website!

It was Thanksgiving in 1965, when an 18-year-old rising folk singer named Arlo Davy Guthrie drove up from Queens, N.Y., to Great Barrington to visit a friend named Alice Brock. While he was there, he did Alice and her husband, Ray, a favor. He took out their garbage. It would change his life. This week, on (Untitled), Ezra and Uma take a look at what is arguably the greatest protest song of all time: Alice's Restaurant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a clash of the titans. William Randolph Hearst - the lord and ruler of the American press. And Orson Welles - the Hollywood wonder boy who set out to dethrone him. It was a fight from which neither man ever fully recovered. Widely considered to be the greatest American movie ever made, Citizen Kane was a brutal portrait of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. When Hearst learned of Welles' film, he set out to protect his reputation by shutting the film down. This month, on Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah Dunia, Umapagan Ampikaipakan and author Harlan Lebo sort through the facts and fictions of the battle over Citizen Kane.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We don’t need many words for this 5 time beatbox champion and a regular Tedx speaker. Cody Foo or commonly known as Coex, is by far one of the friendliest and most down to Earth people we’ve ever met.

Cody loves Defence of The Ancients very much and he managed to secure funding to organize a regional e-sports competition somewhere at the end of this year.

Bunkface came into the studio all hyped up, energetic and ready to take the interview by storm! Sam, Youk and Pa’an got pumped up from their Ribena drink and they were happy to promote their new smell in the form of perfume. You might think it’s strange for a punk band to have a perfume label.

Jasmine Suraya Chin might be small in person, but she is definitely big in personality and spirit. And, the fact that she is a host for local football games and she’s also in a 100 episode TV show and it just proves that she is hitting every possible angle to make it big in this business!

On Monday, KL Mayor Datuk Seri Mhd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz unveiled DBKL’s plans to boost tourism and travel to the city, and part of the plan included a new logo and tagline that read: Kuala Lumpur. Exciting - Surprising - Enticing. A City of Contrasts and Diversity.

But many netizens didn't think so, as expressed on social media since the announcement. On Talkback Thursday today, we're asking: What do you think KL's tagline should be? Do city taglines actually work? Our lines will be open.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were starstruck when we first saw Diana Danielle, but that’s because she was wearing an uber pink dress with more sparkles than an Elton John’s outfit. Nevertheless, she was charming as ever and she totally lit up the room, though her dress did help a little.

Captain America: Civil War - which opens in cinemas this week - will mark the 13th chapter in the ever expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. These movies have been the standard bearers for superhero cinema - the kind of films that satiate the fanboys and fangirls while at the same time still possessing the kind of mass appeal that make them box office successes. It’s a winning formula and Marvel are currently the ones to beat. But what happens when you’re 13 movies in? What happens when you’re yet another superhero flick in a cinemascape that feels overrun with superhero movies? This month, on When We Last Left Our Heroes, Umapagan Ampikaipakan speaks to Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg about Captain America: Civil War and whether or not we've reached peak superhero in cinema.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People often get her name confused. Jagan Kelly, is her real name.
