The King of Musang King
We still don’t get this: Why is this durian-themed dramedy, starring Jack Neo, Yeo Yann Yann and Mark Lee, out on streaming first before Ah Girls Go Army and Ah Girls Go Army Again? What’s going on? Is Jack Neo recutting the two movies into one with extra footage? Just curious.

Takeshi’s Castle
A reboot of the iconic Takeshi Kitano-hosted unscripted adventure variety show that ran from 1986-1990, where participants take on assorted wacky challenges like Dragon God’s Pond, The Strait of Gibraltar and Mushroom Trip (ahem, it’s not that kind of trip). The eight-part revival was filmed at Midoriyama Studio, the same location as the original version.
