I’m glad that Netflix is expanding their roster of Filipino titles. Otherwise, I wouldn’t come across options like Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap. When cinemas were still open, there were less Filipino titles shown compared to foreign options and the ones that generate the most interest are made by already established or successful film outfits. Ang…

Watch | Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
I’ll admit it. The “Volcano Man” music video was the sole reason why I watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. It was quirky enough to catch my attention, and the commitment of stars Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams to their performance made me very curious to watch it. Lars Erickssong (Ferrell) is…
Watch | Jo Koy: In His Elements
Watching comedy specials is more of my husband’s jam, so, while I did hear hilarious snippets when he watched Jo Koy’s stand up acts, I didn’t think much about it until I decided to get Marvin tickets to the comedian’s stop in Manila as a Christmas gift. I didn’t want to attend without having an…
Watch | One-Punch Man Season 1 and 2
For me and my friends, action or the fighting genre was our starting point in watching anime. Never mind that shounen is targeted for young male teens, most of our earliest anime memories are the ones featuring battles… Dragonball Z, Flame of Recca and Ghost Hunter for us, and Naruto, Bleach and One Piece for…
Watch | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1
My anime series backlog is embarrassing. But if there’s one thing to take advantage of during community quarantine (and our current self-imposed quarantine despite loosened restrictions) while schools are still on vacation, it’s that extra bit of free time to read and watch. I made it easy on myself and chose an obviously popular title…
Watch | New Girl Season 6
When New Girl premiered a few years ago, I thought that, while it was fun, I didn’t think I was going to stick with it in the long run. Yet, here I am, writing about its recently concluded sixth season. There are days when it feels like nothing has changed with the group that populates…
Watch | Preacher Season 1
Back when I had the freedom to binge-watch TV series and films, I kept up with news so I knew which titles to look out for. And I’ve been hearing news of adapting Preacher for years. Considering the number of film and TV outfits that had their hand in it, and chose not to continue…
Watch | Santa Clarita Diet Season 1
I knew Drew Barrymore had a series developing at Netflix, but actual details didn’t turn up on my radar until a couple of weeks before it’s release. Their ads finally revealed that instead of the straight-up suburban family comedy it initially appeared to be, it turned out that Santa Clarita Diet is way more quirkier than…
Read | Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman
When I purchased Fortunately, the Milk at the MIBF last year, I had planned to gift it to a young reader. I decided to give it on Christmas, so I could have a chance to read it before then. I, unfortunately, forgot about that plan and bought a different gift for aforementioned recipient, and only remembered…
