Inside the Studio: E‑Junkies Brings the Ah Boys to Life
AsiaOne’s brand‑new video/podcast E‑Junkies is dropping fresh showbiz gossip, film buzz and a behind‑the‑scenes look for fans. In the latest episode, Ah Boys To Men crew—Noah Yap, Maxi Lim and Joshua Tan—bring the laughs and confessions to the screen.
How the Franchise Changed Lives
“We went from Netflix thumbnails to big‑screen icons,” jokes Noah, half‑smiling while he swirls a mug of hot coffee. He explains how the three‑part film shattered the trio’s expectation of a ‘small‑town’ career, turning them into the funniest local brand.
Josh, The Unlucky One?
- Noah: “Maxi once called me ‘the boys’ nemesis.’ It was a joke—though he did poke at my so‑called ‘problems.’”
- Maxi: “We’re cussing work‑related tension with a dash of sarcasm,” and chuckles about how he and Noah kept calling Joshua “the unapproved bartender” in an after‑shoot mutter.
- Joshua: “Uh… I think we’re over‑reading the lawyers’ terms,” laughs the actor, flashing a tongue‑in‑cheek grin.
Cheating Partners and Other Shenanigans
Talk turns to what the boys see as “Killing It” with the tit‑appropriate level of cheeky humor: “When a girl goes out with ‘the fish’ she must keep it on nine‑point—a relationship not worth the risk.”
Tekong Ghost Story That Pays For Love
The episode also wags a half‑ironic, half‑narrative on how the “Tekong” campus history makes everyone go on a collective ride. “Okay, stay on the watch,” says the host. A senior from the “SofaHo” also steps in with a local truth, and the trio’s T‑shirt drama had a modest refrain.
