Guess podcaster Umapagan Ampikaipakan

…and we’re back!…..sorta. With Gavin still away in Singapore (for the play Tribes, which is running from 22 May – 7 June 2015 at the Drama Centre Theatre Singapore), I had to source some substitutes and that took a little longer than expected. Thankfully I was able to find someone in the form of Umapagan Ampikaipakan of BFM and the Cooler Lumpur Festival who in joins me on this week’s cast to ramble about all the geeky movie, TV and comic book news of the last few months.

Also on this week’s show we review Mad Max:Fury Road, Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland and SPY starring Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law and Jason Statham

Here’s the show notes for most, if not all the items we talked about on the show:

A mystery special guest? Who could it be?

It’s been a  while but we’ll FINALLY have a new podcast for you soon, as we are recording this weekend!

As Gavin is still away  we’ll have a special guest on to discuss the latest movie news as well as review Mad Max: Fury Road, Tomorrowland, and we’ll probably end up talking about Avengers: Age Of Ultron for a bit as well.

If you have any comments on any recent films or anything you’d like us to discuss on the podcast email us at podcast@mcyapandfries.com

Also Iain guest starred on the Geeks in Malaysia podcast recently to discuss all things Marvel, From Avengers to Daredevil and beyond. Keep an eye out on http://www.geeksinmalaysia.com/ for when it becomes available for download!

 

Yes, yes we were supposed to record a podcast after “Speed The Plow” finished, but Gavin’s had to head off to Singpore to prepare for the next play he’s doing;  “Tribes”

We are working on recording a podcast using THE POWER OF THE INTERNET and hope to have something for you soon. In the mean time, here’s some details on the new play:

Tribes is written by  Nina Raine, and directed by Tracie Pang, you can find pout more on the website here http://pangdemonium.com/productions/tribes

As well as Gavin, the play stars Adrian Pang, Ethel Yap , Frances Lee, Susan Tordoff, and Thomas Pang.

The play runs from 22 May – 7 June 2015 at the Drama Centre Theatre Singapore,  with special performances incorporating Sign Language interpreters on stage on the following dates:

• Saturday 23 May, 8pm
• Wednesday 27 May, 8pm
• Saturday 30 May, 8pm
• Wednesday 3 June, 8pm
• Saturday 6 June, 8pm

Discounted rates are exclusively available for deaf and hard-of-hearing clients of The Singapore Association for the Deaf, are available by contacting Lizhen at lizhen@sadeaf.org.sg for more information.

Here’s the announcement  trailer

..and here’s another trailer in Sign Language.

Sooooo, one of the reasons that we’ve not done a podcast recently is because Gavin is working his ass off on a number of projects, one of which is a production of “Speed The Plow“, a play by David Mamet.

This production stars Gavin, Douglas Lim and Amelia Henderson, and is directed by Paul Loosley.

The production is being staged at Pentas 2  at the KL Performing Arts Centre (KL PAC)  from 9-15th April.

Drop by if you’re in the area and  fancy a bit of culture or just want to see Gavin in the flesh (I should be lurking in the audience on at least one night)

Shows are on @ 8:30pm on the 9th-15th April, with a 3pm matinee on the 12th April.

There is no Show on the 13th April
