DATUK Kamil and Manvir have their first guest, Datuk Zahim Al Bakri, fresh off Spilt Gravy's run in cinemas. Zahim shares the long and tangled tale of the movie's circuitous journey from the stage to the big screen. 

Listen to each facet of the making of the movie and understand how film censors and local funding either helped or impeded the process of filmmaking. It will help prepare you for this movie and why it is possibly the best Malaysian movie of the year – if not in this century.
