Not Your Usual Romcom. No, Really. (Love You to the Stars and Back, 2017)

In this episode, we get whisked away to one of the most complex romcoms we've ever seen, set in the province of Batangas and the fictional Mt. Milagros. No aliens in this movie? No sweat. Eugene and Dani finally disagree on a movie ("which is good, because it means growth!"), resulting in a lengthy discussion about intention, impact, and delivery.

In this episode, your favorite amateur film critics both tap into their musical potential with the 2015 musical romcom, The Breakup Playlist. Dani and Eugene ponder over the same old and tired successful-girl-bitter-guy plot ("Nobody should stifle success!") and wonder if music camp exists in the Philippines (Note: Apparently, it does!). Eugene considers playing the bongos on the next episode; Dani shares yet another round of significantly dumb trivia. Starring Piolo Pascual and Sarah Geronimo === We have a website!

Learning All About Building Construction and Second Chances (A Second Chance, 2015)

In this episode, we review the aptly titled sequel to the hit movie One More Chance called "A Second Chance." Eugene shares his thoughts about managing Popoy as a direct report, Dani is frustrated at Popoy too, being the bearer of red flags. Is it character redemption if Billy Crawford saved the day (and possibly their marriage)? They also ponder how much carbs you can really consume if faced with a tower of bread everyday. Poy, grabe ang sugar intake. This episode also gives a shoutout to Mike and Ham from the Please Pause podcast, who also reviewed a Second Chance for V-day. Starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

Solving the Bad Boy Mystery (She's Dating the Gangster, 2014)

In this episode, standup comedian, stereotypical conyo, and aspiring gangster Judd Gregorio joins in the fun and uses the 2014 romcom She's Dating the Gangster as a crash course in speaking Tagalog and learning all about what the '90s was about. "Why is everyone sick in this movie? "Was it really merited that Athena2 fell for the emotional gangster in the end?" and most importantly, "What *is* a gangster?" This episode attempts to answer all these riveting questions and more. Starring Daniel Padilla, Kathryn Bernardo

Dissecting Good Old-Fashioned Senseless Fun (Just the Way You Are, 2015)

In this episode, Dani and Eugene may have had too much fun talking about the 2015 romcom ‘Just the Way You Are’. Eugene enumerates this movie’s endless product placements, all set in an idealized alternate reality of what the Philippines could be, while Dani unveils her surprise rating at the end (plus points possibly due to the skyscraper that was Enrique Gil's hairstyle). Starring Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil.

A Must-See Breakup Movie For All the Wrong Reasons (Kita Kita, 2017)

Philippine cinema transports us yet again to Japan, but this time to the far-flung city of Sapporo, Hokkaido (yes, apparently you CAN travel there via bullet train from Tokyo). In this episode, we aim to dig up the reasons behind Kita Kita’s emotional appeal for being lauded as a box office hit, what the definition of a simp is, and why stalking is never a good way to get noticed by your crush. Eww, just eww. Starring Alessandra de Rossi and Empoy Marquez
