Strap in for another unfiltered session in the Backroom! This week, Lesego M returns to break down the biggest stories shaking the culture.
He dives headfirst into the South African government's serious investigation into influencers allegedly promoting human trafficking schemes in Russia. Is this a long-overdue crackdown or a complex web of online deception? Lesego gives his raw take.
Shifting gears to local entertainment wins, he celebrates MacG and Robot Boy securing roles on the hit series 'Shaka Ilembe'. What does this crossover from podcasting to prestige television mean for the industry?
And finally, he goes global with some hard-hitting film critique. Lesego explains why he believes action star Michael Jai White is capable of far better than his recent movie choices and why a certain Tom Cruise is still, unequivocally, the gold standard—breaking down exactly why the latest Mission: Impossible or Top Gun is just that good.
It's a packed episode of sharp analysis, celebration, and no-holds-barred opinion you won't want to miss!
