On this episode we bring together Kam Raslan with fellow BFMers Lee Chwi Lynn and Julian Yap. Kam kicks off the show with the influence of soft power through current affairs. They discuss how the western media plays a huge influence in creating a more negative idea on culture appropriation. Moving on, we speak about "film bros", and how the oversaturation of this archetype creates this normalised image of favourable view of the straight white men. Lastly, our trio delves into the famous U.S historical musical piece in recent time; Hamilton, and table their thoughts on recent issues surrounding the musical.
