    Batang Tigang Gang with The Loved One, Goat, Wuthering Heights, Gimbap and Onigiri, and Hamnet

    A SPOILER-FREE Valentine's fallout to you and your spirit! It's our first time recording an episode in the same room in a very long time so happy Valentine's Day to us. Ham starts off with a report from Netflix Philippines' What Next? Thanks to Netflix for the invite! If they only knew what we say about Netflix in this podcast... We're kidding! Itinuloy 'yan ni Ham sa obligatory Jason Statham action flick of the year na Shelter. She also talks about the award-winning historical drama about the Shakespeares, Hamnet. Mike then gets into the animated basketball movie about a three-point shooting goat produced by the three-point shooting GOAT, Steph Curry, Goat. Ang gulo ba? Pakinggan niyo na lang. And of course, we can't let Valentine's Day pass us by without romantic movies so Ham talks about the period romantic drama starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, Wuthering Heights. Then last but not the least, Direk Irene Villamor is back at it with her heart-wrenching ways with Anne Curtis and Jericho Rosales in The Loved One. Also in this episode, ang latest Netflix series na aming kinahuhumalingan, Gimbap and Onigiri. This episode was recorded with our new and improved, 7 years too late podcasting set-up.

    Simu Liu-ook Alike with Send Help, Wonder Man, Steal, Can This Love Be Translated?, and 96 Minutes

    A SPOILER-FREE homecoming for Ham! She just couldn't bear London anymore because the Philippines is just too beautiful a country (sarcasm alert!). We indulge her one last time in the final edition of her segment, Inggitin Mo Kami. Once that's over and done with, we can finally get on with our lives and we get into Sam Raimi's survival thriller, Send Help with Rachel McAdams. Mike then tells us about Sophie Turner in the crime series, Steal. We also get into the latest MCU series, Wonder Man. Created by Destin Daniel Cretton, Yahya Abdul-Mahteen and Ben Kingsley take on Hollywood in this superhero series without much superheroing. Also in this episode, we have bunch of Netflix chart toppers in 96 Minutes and Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight. Plus a final word on Can This Love Be Translated?.

    Domestic Efficiency with The Housemaid, Sentimental Value, Can This Love Be Translated?, and The Rip

    Yes, it's SPOILER-FREE! It's officially Ham's final recording from London so we begin with her signature segment, INGGITIN MO KAMI! That's her telling us about another bunch of stuff we won't get to experience anyway. Once that's over with, she moves on to the critical darling and awards season contender, Sentimental Value. It's going to be showing in the Philippines soon as part of FDCP's A Curation of World Cinema so we actually have a chance to see Stelan Skarsgard and crew in this Norwegian drama. After that, lipat naman tayo sa curation of couch cinema with Netflix's action thriller, The Rip, with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Steven Yeun. Mike then proudly reports that after missing it last week, he finally saw The Housemaid as Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried get tangled up in this stressful domestic thriller. Also in this episode, P77 with Barbie Forteza, Can This Love Be Translated?, and more... Oh, so much more.

    The Petty Popcorn Distraction with Stranger Things, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Marty Supreme and More

    A SPOILER-FREE new year to all! After almost a month, finally, a new episode! Well, maybe "finally" is a strong word. Let's be honest, no one's actually that excited for this auditory masterpiece. Of course, we have our post-vacation report which includes seeing James Cameron's latest billion dollar movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash—all three and a half hours of it. We also saw Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet and his award-winning performance. At hindi pwedeng hindi namin pag-usapan ang kakatapos lang na Stranger Things. Dagdag mo pa dyan ang stage play na The First Shadow. Hindi lang 'yan, also in this episode, Emily in Paris, The Great Flood, The Kingdom and more. But enough of this episode description, pakinggan niyo na lang!

    Spotify Crapped with Wake Up Dead Man, Sana Sinabi Mo, Eternity, and More

    SPOILER-FREE—in case you're new here. Here's a new episode kahit medyo nakabakasyon na utak namin. Or at least one of us. We begin by extending our utmost gratitude to you, our listeners, as this year's Spotify Wrapped just came out! Then Ham tells us about her Dutch and Italian escapades on this week's edition of Inggitin Mo Kami. She then went on about two Netflix movies na ginamit niyang pambanlaw from stress—A Merry Little Ex-Mas and Our Little Secret. Mike answers with a lot of stress as he tells us about Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys' thriller series, The Beast in Me. Pagkatapos nu'n, napag-usapan ang fantasy rom-com from A24 na Eternity starring the afterlife love triangle of Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, and Callum Turner. We round out this episode with... Church? We got Sana Sinabi Mo with JK Labajo playing a missionary from the best-est church ever (nope). And last but not the least, Rian Johnson is back with another Knives Out mystery in Wake Up Dead Man! This time, Detective Benoit Blanc has to solve a murder in a, yes, church. And oh yeah, please pardon and his current romance anime obsession.

We're here to talk about the much anticipated final season of Stranger Things!Season 5 Volume 1 has just been released on Netflix. Exciting or uninspiring? Pag-usapan natin. We also get into the second act of last year's musical phenomenon, Wicked, Wicked: For Good! Cynthia Erico and Ariana Grande are at it again with some vocal gymnastics but was it a fitting conclusion? Listen in and let's talk/sing about it! You just have to get through Ham's ramblings about her adventures first but once you get past that, it's smooth sailing from there. No, it's not. It never is.

    Ja-Kobe for Three! with Meet, Greet and Bye, The Running Man, and Frankenstein

    SPOILER-FREE kahit gulo-gulo na ang upload schedule! This episode was recorded last Monday but wasn't released until now so there are some days-old information here. Blame it on our editor—ehem, Mike, ehem. At least in this episode, for the first time in a long time, we both saw all the movies we're going to talk about! We start with Star Cinema and Direk Cathy Garcia-Sampana's latest family drama, Meet, Greet and Bye! Mukhang tatabo na naman sila sa takilya sa pagdadala ni Maricel, Piolo, Joshua, JK, and Belle so actually, wala naman talagang bearing kahit ano pang sabihin namin dito! We then get into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. It's alive! Well, is it really? Last but not the least, we also talk about Edgar Wright's The Running Man starring Glen Powell. The leading man of the 2020s is at it again but is this his latest action hit or was it an action dud? Pag-usapan natin!
