Please Pause: Filipino TV and Film

A SPOILER-FREE season premiere to all! Year 8 na tayo or more accurately, akalain mong naka-Year 8 pa tayo? So let's see how much further we can drive this car on empty. Mike starts things off by telling Ham about the number 1 series on Netflix, the true crime documentary, Death of the Pastor's Wife. If that's not depressing enough, we also talk about Shugo Praico's crime series, Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence. With the final's release in limbo and its episodes taken down from Youtube, the question is, malalaman pa kaya natin kung anong ending nito? We also have another Netflix chart-topper, Dan Villegas' rom-com starring JMFyang, Almost Us. Tapos napag-usapan rin ang Japanese drama series tackling various sexual problems, S&X. We also got into Sadie Sandler's tearjerker of a movie, Don't Say Good Luck. Then last but not the least, we talk about Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic drama/thriller, The Dog Stars. Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, and Guy Pearce survived the apocalypse—now what? Please Pause Season 8! Now what?

SPOILER-FREE, always! It's our season finale! So let's pretend that means something. We started off with Mike telling Ham (and doing a really poor job at it) about the Prime Video teleserye starring Janine Gutierrez and Jericho Rosales, The Loyalty Game. Then we talked about Piolo Pascual and crew on the MMFF 2025 film, Manila's Finest. Tapos isa pang Pinoy movie ulit with Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon. Jodi Sta. Maria and Agot Isidro lead this unconventional family drama but does it hold up with the classics? Pag-usapan natin! After that, si Ham naman ang nagkuwento about Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor dealing with dinosaurs in the sci-fi survival family movie, The End of Oak Street. Taumbahay Mike then tells her about Greta Lee in the sci-fi survival family Netflix original, The Last House. Then we top off the episode with two of the most popular series in the world, House of the Dragon and Our Sticky Love!

SPOIILER-FREE and spider-filled, this episode is! It's a rainy episode so pagtiyagaan niyo muna 'yung background noise. We hope everyone's safe and dry while you're listening to our Spider-Man: Brand New Day episode extravaganza! But before that, we ramble about some Pinoy movies that we watched in a very "casual" manner. We start with Wonderful Nightmare ni Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles. Napag-usapan rin ang MMFF 2024 film na My Future You with FranSeth. Tapos MMFF 2025 naman with Shake, Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins. Then napunta ang usapan sa Come Dine with Me: Celebrity Philippines, ang latest reality show na aming kinahuhumalingan. Ito naman seryosohan na with Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo in Unmarry. Then as an appetizer before we get to our main course, we talk about the Prime Video series, Spider-Noir! And syempre, we saved the best for last because we have a lot to say about the MCU's latest billion-dollar blockbuster, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Ito daw ang first movie ever that was shot for ScreenX so if you're looking to try that experience, we got you. Dito ka na kung hanap mo ay ScreenX MeMa. Of course, we also get into Peter Parker's post-No Way Home adventure and this time, he has the Punisher and Sadie Sink to back him? Or fight him? Pag-usapan natin 'yan and more!

SPOILER-FREE and long story short, it's our The Odyssey episode! It's a Greek mythology extravaganza sprinkled with modern controversy, manufactured or otherwise. Christopher Nolan has successfully brought people to the theaters again but ito na nga ba ang pinaka-ultimate Nolan cinematic experience? Pag-usapan natin! And that's not all! We finally saw the acclaimed Cinemalaya sapphic film starring Janella Salvador, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Leanne Mamonong, and Klea Pineda, Open Endings! We missed this in the cinemas but now it's on Prime Video just like The Sheep Detectives! If you're not familiar at all, yes, they're sheep solving crime. And yes, it was fun! Then last but not the least, whether we want to or not, we finally talk about the Netflix Korean series, Teach You a Lesson! Napanood niyo or hindi, let us know what you think!

SPOILER-FREE kami... If you care about that sort of thing. We know, we know. This episode is overdue. Our past few weekends have been full but finally, here we are with so much backlog to get through! We begin with the recently concluded series, The Bear. It's been a rollercoaster ride of a series in terms of greatness and not-so-greatness but now, we're at closing time so we're gonna have to say our goodbyes to Chef Carmy, Sydney, Richie and crew. Pagkatapos nun, we get into the live-action remake of one of Disney's most beloved movies in the modern era, Moana! Catherine Laga'aia brings Moana to life while The Rock is still... The Rock. We then get into one of Netflix recent rom-com hits, Voicemails for Isabelle. Was it something to fall for or something to forget? Pag-usapan natin! Last but not the least, we also have our Queen Rhaenyra, Milly Alcock, in Supergirl! The much anticipated film from James Gunn's DC Universe is finally here BUT... Yeah, there are probably a lot of buts. Listen in and let's talk about it!
