Bonus: GOMBURZA and Re-enchanting Political Life
This month, we are taking a short break from our interview episodes and will resume with more thought-provoking guests next month.
In the meantime, this episode is released on "Araw ng Kagitingan" or Day of Valor, and the premiere of GOMBURZA on Netflix. Despite this national holiday,
there seems to a a kind of fatigue and cynicism surrounding nationalism these days. Here, I relate Randy David's discussion on political despair with the need to continue the civic excitement ignited by GOMBURZA.

PILM Institute: PH Cinema and Class Struggle with Epoy Deyto
This episode was prompted after I discovered the exciting, incisive, and polemical book, Post-Dilawan Cinema and the Pandemic(2023) at the BLTX Small Press expo. We discuss Philippine Cinema through the lens of class struggle with the book's Author, Epoy Deyto. The conversation spans the issues of movie-going, how ph cinema alienates the poor, the ideological content of films, the intersections of politics and business in Philippine Cinema, and Metro Manila Film Festival.

You may also find a physical copy of the book from Shonenbat Collective here:https://www.facebook.com/ShonenBatCollective/
