Please Pause: Filipino TV and Film Mike and Ham from PH

SPOILER-FREE and as packed as it can be! Don't call it a comeback! It took us some much needed soul-searching but we're back in business. Sinimulan namin with George Miller's return to his radioactive desert wasteland, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga! Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth racing around the apocalypse in their death machines may be compelling enough for a prequel but how does it fare against the so-called masterpiece that was Fury Road? Pag-usapan natin! After that, we also talked about Road Trip starring real-life friends Candy Pangilinan, Janice and Gelli de Belen, and Carmina Villaroel go on a fictional road trip. Mike tells us about the Korean survival series, The 8 Show. He also took it upon himself to report on Netflix's latest "blockbuster" starring J. Lo. Simu Liu, Atlas. Ham then tells us about the Star Wars animated series, The Bad Batch and Tales of the Empire. And kung animated series na rin lang ang pag-uusapan, there is no other that has gotten as much acclaim as X-Men '97 in recent memory, kaya hindi pwedeng hindi namin pag-usapan 'yan! Akala niyo marami na 'yan? After doing a 16-episode marathon, ito na rin ang episode namin with Queen of Tears!

SPOILER-FREE—in all the parts that matters! After a hard-fought battle with our personal schedules, we finally managed to complete this podcasting "masterpiece" to add to our ever growing gallery of auditory artworks. A true masterclass in nonsense and stupidity. So let's go! We begin by recounting our recent trip to Cebu to attend a wedding. We then explore some wide age gap romances, both real and fictional. So napanood na rin namin finally ang Ikaw Pa Rin ang Pipiliin Ko starring Julia Barretto and Aga Muhlach. We were also able to watch Zendaya's critically acclaimed tennis film, Challengers. We give our final words and complaints on the recently concluded DonBelle teleserye, Can't Buy Me Love. And last but not the least, we return to the apes franchise with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! Sabi nga ni Proximus Caesar, "What a wonderful day!"

SPOILER-FREE and you already know that! Hard to believe that this episode runs for under an hour when it seems like we've covered so much. We're already sleepy while writing this description and probably no one reads it anyway (you're more than welcome to disprove us) so we'll just rattle off what's in store for you in this episode. First of all, Ham was eating a donut so that'll explain the chewing noises. We talked about Prime Video's newest post-apocalyptic video game adaptation series, Fallout. We went to the cinema to watch The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, and a bunch of huge stunts. Ham tells us about Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine because she was able to see the screening of The Idea of You, which you can also watch now on Prime Video. We gave our final words on the recently concluded Shogun. Then may kaunting kwento din about Kampon, Baby Reindeer, and Parasite: The Grey. And last but not the least because the slow (mo) and steady finishes the race, we also have Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver!

We're back and we're SPOILER-FREE! We managed to piece together this monstrosity of an episode from our TV and film adventures of past two weeks. We have the Netflix chart topper (no surprise there), A Journey, starring Tabing Ilog-ers Kaye Abad, Paolo Contis, and Patrick Garcia. Directed by RC delos Reyes, this film promises some nostalgia and more. Kaya naman pag-usapan natin if it was able to bring that much more. Napanood din namin ang latest from the Ghostbusters franchise, ang Frozen Empire. Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace and crew are back—and when we say "back", we meant every single one of them is back. Frozen empire promises some nostalgia and more but we just said that about the other movie so pag-usapan na lang natin sa episode! Kasama rin dito ang horror movie na Abigail starring Alisha Weir and Melissa Barrera. Join us as we get into this vampire movie that wasn't exactly what we expected. And to top it all off, we have Mark Wahlberg and a dog in a movie na malamang umantig sa iyong damdamin, pet-lover ka man or not, ang Arthur the King! Showing na pala ito on April 24, not May 1 as we’ve said in the episode.

Another SPOILER-FREE podcasting "masterpiece" delivered from our mouths to your ears! While that statement is questionable at best, we're certain that we had too much fun in this episode. Napanood na namin sa wakas ang phenomenal hit na Rewind kasi nasa Netflix an siya. Hindi naman siguro mapapakinggan ni Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera 'tong episode na 'to ever and that's probably for the best. Sama mo pa ang isa pang MMFF 2023 entry na nasa Netflix na rin, Direk Jun Lana's na Becky and Badette. Pokwang and Eugene Domingo teamed up to give us some laughs and more so pag-usapan natin! Dito rin sa episode, nagkuwento si Ham about Wish na napanood niya sa eroplano. Nagkuwento rin si Mike about The First Omen na napanood naman niya sa advance screening nung movie. And we're not done yet! We also have an in-depth discussion about Netflix's latest series, 3 Body Problem! Benioff and Weiss? Hit or miss? Listen in and join us as we whip up TV trouble and movie mischief as only Please Pause can!

A SPOILER-FREE post-Semana Santa to all! Alam naman naming every one of us can't wait to go back to work *sarcastic cough* but we're here for you! Sinimulan namin sa pinakabagong movie ni Sydney Sweeney where she plays a nun na nabuntis in a horror-ridden convent, Immaculate! Nandito nga din pala si Professor Alvaro Morte. Kaya naman pag-usapan natin if nakabawi na si Sydney after Madame Web! Pagkatapos nun, we get into Lindsay Lohan's latest Netflix movie, Irish Wish. We really wish it was something better but it is what it is. We also talked about the revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, Beau DeMayo's X-Men '97. Join us mga batang '90s as we dig through our childhood memories about this cartoon classic! Then last but not the least, the colossal main event of this episode, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! Mukhang marami na namang matatapakan and may cities na namang mafa-flatten. So is this round 2 of their gigantic battle? Or kaya ba x kasi mag-ex na sila this time around? We won't spoil anything but we'll let you know if sulit bang sine sila Godzilla and Kong!
