Alfred Hitchcock once expressed, 'For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake'. We have devoured that beautiful piece of cake. And in this episode, we remember how. Slice by slice, it has contributed to who we are today.

Like the storytelling that never fails to capture our awe, this conversation is a story in itself. A story of how we have grown with the cinema that we oh so love. Come for the anecdotes, stay for the insights. Bon appetite?
