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.

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

In this episode we review Black Sheep Productions’ theatrical debut, the 2018 #CarGel hit Exes Baggage. Eugene and Dani examine the hugot lines brought about by the Hugot Brigade and figure out how to eat rice with a fully engaged core. Today’s trivia takes the form of many, many showbiz chika.
Starring Carlo Aquino and Angelica Panganiban. -
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.

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

In this episode, we’re joined by a guest, good friend, artist, improviser, and all around good person with many things, Kats, as we talk about the 2018 romance drama Never Not Love You, a movie whose pivotal moments are formed within the confines of a 7-Eleven in Makati all the way to London. Eugene and Dani talk a teensy bit about surviving their own long-distance relationship; while Eugene stresses the importance of key project management skills for being a responsible 'youth of the nation'. Word of the day is ‘palamunin’.
Starring James Reid and Nadine Lustre.

In this episode we share our hot takes on the 2019 movie Isa Pa with Feelings (or mixed feelings, rather), a movie that Dani feels came off as tone-deaf (heh), albeit an awesome soundtrack and mesmerizing visuals; while Eugene is introduced to a post-Batang X Carlo Aquino (yes, our age is showing). And trivia time! Lots and lotsa trivia.
Starring Maine Mendoza and Carlo Aquino.

In this episode of Popoy and Basher, we finally talk about the movie that inspired the name of this podcast: One More Chance. We do a pseudo deep dive into the surface-level stuff we've been learning about psychology and attachment theory (we tried) from our favorite YouTuber, Psychology In Seattle; and conclude the episode talking about the John Lloyd Cruz hypothesis. Oh, don't deprive your girlfriend of fried chicken skin. Just don't.
Starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

The interwebs is abuzz with Antoinette Jadaone's #MMFF2020 entry Fan Girl and with good reason. So here we are, releasing this special spoiler-free Christmas episode about Fan Girl, the best, worst, and darkest gift of 2020.

We can't seem to get enough of Aga Muhlach films set in North America. Eugene laments his OFW take on "Vancouver the Movie"; Dani was not 'kilig' with the pairing of the young and vibrant Bea Alonzo and an aging Aga Muhlach. Love conquers all, as long as you have universal healthcare.
