The obligatory Hello, Love, Again episode! SPOILER-FREE pa rin of course. Congrats sa amin dahil na-release namin 'tong episode na 'to within two days of recording it. Mukhang tumatabo si Kathryn and Alden sa takilya kaya hindi pwedeng hindi kami maki-ride dyan. And we have plenty of strong feelings on this sequel kaya join us and pag-usapan natin kung dine-deserve nga ba ni Joy and Ethan ng movie—again. At hindi lang 'yan! Usapang love story pa rin as we get into We Live in Time with Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. Just to give you an idea how significant this movie is, pinanood ba namin ang Venom? No. Red One? No. We Live in Time? Yes. Also in this episode, pinag-usapan namin ang kakatapos lang na series na The Penguin. And dito na rin namin pag-uusapan ang Season 4 ng Only Murders in the Building. Last but not the least, kakanood lang din namin ng His Three Daughters sa Netflix na bakit nga ba ngayon lang namim pinanpod? So... May bagong episode kami. You're welcome!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin yada yada yada. We recorded this episode last Sunday and because of our unwavering dedication to this podcast, we're releasing this four days later! Kaya hindi na kami mahpapaligoy-ligoy pa. Look at the title. We're talking about those movies. Why bother listing them down again here in the description? In addition, meron ding Trap, It's What's Inside, and Don't Move. And of course, mischief. Ayan. Enjoy. Or not. Mic drop!

SPOILER-FREE that's our SOP! This time, it didn't take three weeks for a new episode! Congratulations to us. So let's get to it! Ham tells us about Sam Claflin's horror movie, Bagman. Yes, she watched a horror movie. Then we move on to a trio of Netflix series. Mystery muna tayo with Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Eve Hewson in Perfect Couple. Tapos rom-com naman with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in Nobody Wants This. Then we cap that off with the K-drama starring Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min, Love Next Door. Hindi lang yan, we officially decided not to watch Joker: Folie a Deux and choose The Wild Robot instead so we're talking about Dreamworks' widely acclaimed animated movie! Meron daw umiyak sa The Wild Robot! Listen in and join our conversation! Also in this episode, The Old Man, Chucky, and Emily in Paris, Rome or wherever she is.

We're still here and still SPOILER-FREE! Episodes have been getting fewer and far in between but you're not getting rid of us that easily! Bawing-bawi tayo ngayon because we have a lot to talk about starting with the academic cheating movie, Bad Genius. Hindi niyo naitatanong pero we used to be teachers in our past life so we know a thing or two about students. We also got into the animated origin story set in Cybertron, Transformers One. Was it really as good as we've heard? Pag-usapan natin along with other Transformers curiosities we have. Pagkatapos n'un, nadaanan rin namin ang kakatapos lang na Season 2 ng Rings of Power, which put the "rings" in the Lord of the Rings. Then we have a bunch of Netflix movies with Uglies, Officer Black Belt and No More Bets. Then also in this episode, we talked to Andrew of Smash That Screen about the controversial film Civil War. Seryosong usapan!

Still here and still SPOILER-FREE! But enjoy it while it lasts! It's been kind of a slow past two weeks in terms of new releases but we're here now. We start with the latest ABS-CBN teleserye, Lavender Fields! Jodi Sta. Maria, Janine Gutierrez, and Jericho Rosales take on the revenge genre and oh, someone's not satisfied. Listen in and find out who. Pagkatapos n'un, we get into Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone's latest collaboration, ang Kinds of Kindness. Weird? Absurd? Confusing? There's so much to talk about just as there's so much to think about. Then back to the more straightforward world, nadaanan din ang action drama na Rebel Ridge. And if we seem we're all over the place, meron din kaming horror as we talk about The Deliverance na apparently, based daw on a true story. After that, Mike tells Ham about this thriller na napanood niya sa sine, ang Strange Darling. And lastly, Ham gives us a few words on Fruitcake na nasa Netflix na!

New season, same old SPOILER-FREE podcast! Season 6 na kami? Why? Gusto lang namin! Ham thinks we've overloaded this episode unnecessarily. Aagain. Mike thinks this one's pretty chill. Listen in and let us know which side you're leaning. Kwentuhan lang! Now onto the meat of the episode—Mike reports on a bunch of series he's been trying to get into to varying degrees of success. Then we talk about Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 1 where Lily Collins is still Emily-ing in the city of love. Pagkatapos n'un, punta naman tayo kay Emma Myers as she walks us through A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. And syempre we can't talk about murder without mentioning Only Murders in the Building! You think marami na 'yan? Napanood rin namin on Netflix ang Elevator starring Paulo Avelino and Kylie Verzosa. Not just that, sa dakong Hollywood naman, we have Jackpot starring Awkwafina and John Cena. To round this episode out, we talk about the much-anticipated (or much-maligned) Rings of Power dahil nandito na ang first three episode ng Season 2 niya! Lastly, we have the latest K-drama phenomenon, Love Next Door. If we're being honest, we'll just be binging Love Next Door as much as we can. And oo nga pala, also in this episode, we're recounting our recent trip to the great city of Davao.

SPOILER-FREE unlike your good-for-nothing ex! Full disclosure, this episode is probably not as good as our last but we fight on! Sinimulan namin with JoshLia's much talked about and much cried about reunion movie, ang Un/Happy for You! Director Petersen Vargas and Star Cinema are at it again but one of us wasn't too excited to go and see it. Hulaan niyo na lang kung sino. Pagkatapos nun, we talk about more Filipino films! Nandiyan ang Fuchsia Libre, spell check please, ni Paolo Contis. Nandyan din ang Isang Gabi with Coleen Garcia and Diego Loyzaga. Pareho silang nasa Netflix na! Speaking of Netflix, napag-usapan rin ang Chinese film na YOLO directed by and starring Jia Ling. If hindi niyo pa 'to napanood, watch it. If kelangan niyo ng motivation, watch it! Then to finish off this episode, we have Alien: Romulus! Fede Alvarez's entry to the Alien franchise. Facehuggers and chestbursters are back, but will this space horror movie get your acid blood pumping? Pag-usapan natin!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin! TV and film—it's not a genre. It's a lifestyle! We took a break last week so ito na ang aming revenge episode! Tikman niyo ang poot ng aming paghihiganti! So much to talk about, so little time. Simulan natin sa pinakabagong paiyak ng Netflix from director Benedict Mique, ang Lolo and the Kid! Let's talk about how Joel Torre and Euwenn Mikael Aleta served us a dose of family drama at pinanood naman natin. Tapos 'nun, hindi pwedeng hindi natin pag-usapan ang kakatapos lang na House of the Dragon Season 2! Ah, Alicent and Rhaenyra, ano nga bang nangyari sa season na 'to? Seriously, ano nga bang nangyari sa season na 'to? We also had an eventful weekend as we were able to catch two Cinemalaya films, Balota and Love Child. Kung kami lang ang masusunod, mas marami pa sana kaming napanood. Also, kung kami lang ang masusunod, mas marami pa sanang makanood ng mga pelikulang 'to. So allow us to tell you why you need to watch Marian Rivera, RK Bagatsing, and Jane Oineza in their Cinemalaya movies! And hindi lang 'yan, pinag-usapan din namin ang Men are from Q.C., Women are from Alabang na kakalabas lang din sa Netflix. Naniwala ba kami sa pag-ibig ni Heaven Peralejo and Marco Gallo? Let's talk about it in this episode! Tapos meron ding When I Met You in Tokyo, Master of the House, and Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam. Marami ba? Revenge episode nga diba?

SPOILER-FREE—that's our advocacy. Deadpool & Wolverine is finally upon us! 'Yan ang pag-uusapan natin sa episode na 'to. Pero bago 'yan, kaunting appetizer muna starting with Maharaja! The Tamil-language film by Nithilan Swaminathan that fascinated and confused people straight to the top of Netflix charts. Starring Vijay Sethupathi bilang ang barbero na si Maharaja. Ano ba 'to? Comedy? Action? Crime Thriller? All of the above? Ewan! Pagkatapos noon, we also got into Cobra Kai Season 6... Part 1... Of 3! It's the final season of this series. Or should we say, FINALLY, it's the final season of this series? We are definitely a long way from wax on, wax off. And maybe a long way from this series being one of the best things on TV? And after that, our main course is the number one movie in the world, Deadpool & Wolverine! We all felt the hype but were Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman able to deliver what the fans want? What are you willing to do para lang makarating sa screening? Is there anything worse in the nine hells than an internet a-hole posting spoilers? Lots and lots of questions. Pag-usapan natin! P.S. We also have some spoiler thoughts at the very, very end because we just had to. Napanood mo na rin naman eh!

SPOILER-FREE ang aming SOP! We hope everyone's safe amid the inclement weather. This week, we bring you another siksik na episode na umaapaw sa magagandang asal at mabubuting aral! So nanood kami ng Twisters—the standalone sequel that Ham was way too fired up about. She might not sound like it here, but believe me, she's fuming. Listen in and join us as we get into Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and this disaster movie (not to be mistaken with a disaster OF A movie, OK?). Good luck na lang sa kanila because Deadpool is on their heels, pero next week na natin pag-usapan si Deadpool and Wolverine. For now, pag-usapan muna din natin ang controversial film ni Quark Henares na Marupok AF. Sana napanood niyo 'tong Ayala Malls exclusive release na 'to starring Maris Racal and EJ Jallorina kasi it's probably not going to be there for a long time. We have lots and lots of questions. Baka may sagot kayo, let us know. Nandito rin sa episode na 'to ang much anticipated na The Bear Season 3. It's a highly revered show for sure but bakit parang pagdating sa Season 3, people have been going "anyare?" We also have our final word on The Acolyte and The Boys Season 4. Those series are done. Syempre meron ding Pamilya Sagrado. Ulit. And then lastly, Glen Powell ulit with Anyone But You which is finally on Netflix! Kamusta ang pagro-rom-com-an nila ni Sydney Sweeney? Pag-usapan natin!

SPOILER-FREE! Our latest episode is. From the only podcast you'll ever want for your TV and film needs, if you didn't know any better. Well, this was a very productive episode. We had so much accomplished! We talked about the Quiet Place franchise prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One. We have aliens. We have survivors. We have cats. Kaya maman nagkaron din tuloy ng mahabang usapan tungkol sa mga pusa. We also recapped our recent visit to Cinema '76 where we watched the Spanish short film A Strange Way of Life. Hindi naman siguro makikinig dito 'yong mga taga-Cinema '76 no? Ang dami na ngang kinain, ang dami pang sinabi. Oh well. Nadaanan nga rin pala dito sa episode na 'to ang anime na Kaiju No. 8 pati na rin ang NBA drama series na Clipped. Meron ding konting Last One Laughing Philippines, ang pinakabagong comedy reality series sa Prime Video. Somewhere in the episode, Ham says Chris Pratt when she actually meant Chris Pine. Or Chris Evans? Or Hemsworth? Whichever. Tapos, nakahabol pa nga pala kami sa Southeast Asian phenomenon that is How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. Late na kami pero ang dami pa ring tissue sa sinehan! At ayon na nga, hindi pwedeng walang kwentong lola kung etong movie na 'to ang pag-uusapan. And then last but not the least, we get into the scariest movie of the season—allegedly—ang Longlegs! Nakakatakot nga ba talaga? Maika Monroe. Nicolas Cage. Pag-usapan natin!

SPOILER-FREE as always! FAQ: Kailangan ba napanood mo lahat ng mga 'to to enjoy the episode? Absolutely not! So kung hindi mo pa napanood ang The Exorcism, no problem! Starring Russell Crowe na last year lang ay meron na ring isa pang exorcism movie. Iba ba 'to? Pag-usapan natin! Then we also get into how we're finding the second season of House of the Dragon so far. Napanood na nga rin pala namin sa Netflix ang Dearly Beloved ni Baron Geisler and Cristine Reyes. Mike also reports on Mr. and Mrs. Smith from Prime Video. And finally, we talk about the Thai horror comedy, My Boo! Starring Sutthirak “Gee” Subvijitra and Maylada “Bow” Susri bilang isang tao at isang multo na nagka-in-love-an, that's one unconventional romance to say the least. And oo nga pala, also in this episode, Pamilya Sagrado!

SPOILER-FREE tayo, kelangan pa bang i-memorize 'yan? It's our Inside Out 2 episode and please bear with us, we had too much fun talking about this hit sequel. Join us as we try to figure out why this movie works and what brought people to the cinemas in droves. We also dug up some of our own Teacher Rubylin memories from our formative years. Kung saan-saan nakarating but that's Please Pause for you! We also got into a couple of Netflix chart toppers. Una na ang French shark thriller na Under Paris. Maganda ba siya? Or pangit? Pwede bang both? Tapos nandito rin ang inspired by a true story na not-so-true story from Richard Linklater and Glenn Powell na Hit Man. Pinapanood nga rin pala namin ang Season 4 ng The Boys sa Prime Video. Full disclosure, Ham never saw the first three seasons so tingnan natin how that goes. Finally, muntik nang makalimutan pero napag-usapan din ang comedy-drama ni Joel Ferrer na Fruitcake. Boasting an ensemble cast headlined by Joshua Garcia, Heaven Peralejo, and Victor Anastacio, maraming magsasabi na sayang daw ang movie na 'to. Pag-usapan natin!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin as usual! We hope this episode finds you well. We're going with a lot of stuff that we were able to finally watch like Sharon Cuneta and Alden Richards' mother and son drama in MMFF 2023, Family of Two. Napanood na namin 'to wakas sa Netflix pero dapat ba hinabol namin siya sa sinehan? Sama na rin natin sa usapan na yan ang Penduko which was directed by Jason Paul Lacamana and starred Matteo Guidicelli as an adventuring albularyo. We also get into a bunch of series, katulad na lang ng pinakabago ng Star Wars sa Disney Plus, ang The Acolyte! Is there anything to this series beyond the review bombing and the presence of Squid Game winner, Lee Jung-jae? Pag-usapan natin! Sa dakong HBO naman, we talk about the black comedy mini-series, The Sympathizer, na feeling namin did not receive as much attention as it should have despite Robert Downey, Jr. playing not just one or two but even more characters than that. Tapos meron din ditong kaunting Dead Boy Detectives from Ham's favorite universe—the Sandman universe. And then last but not the least, the much acclaimed Godzilla Minus One is now suddenly on Netflix seemingly from out of nowhere so hindi pwedeng hindi namin pag-usapan yan!

SPOILER-FREE and as packed as it can be! Don't call it a comeback! It took us some much needed soul-searching but we're back in business. Sinimulan namin with George Miller's return to his radioactive desert wasteland, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga! Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth racing around the apocalypse in their death machines may be compelling enough for a prequel but how does it fare against the so-called masterpiece that was Fury Road? Pag-usapan natin! After that, we also talked about Road Trip starring real-life friends Candy Pangilinan, Janice and Gelli de Belen, and Carmina Villaroel go on a fictional road trip. Mike tells us about the Korean survival series, The 8 Show. He also took it upon himself to report on Netflix's latest "blockbuster" starring J. Lo. Simu Liu, Atlas. Ham then tells us about the Star Wars animated series, The Bad Batch and Tales of the Empire. And kung animated series na rin lang ang pag-uusapan, there is no other that has gotten as much acclaim as X-Men '97 in recent memory, kaya hindi pwedeng hindi namin pag-usapan 'yan! Akala niyo marami na 'yan? After doing a 16-episode marathon, ito na rin ang episode namin with Queen of Tears!

SPOILER-FREE—in all the parts that matters! After a hard-fought battle with our personal schedules, we finally managed to complete this podcasting "masterpiece" to add to our ever growing gallery of auditory artworks. A true masterclass in nonsense and stupidity. So let's go! We begin by recounting our recent trip to Cebu to attend a wedding. We then explore some wide age gap romances, both real and fictional. So napanood na rin namin finally ang Ikaw Pa Rin ang Pipiliin Ko starring Julia Barretto and Aga Muhlach. We were also able to watch Zendaya's critically acclaimed tennis film, Challengers. We give our final words and complaints on the recently concluded DonBelle teleserye, Can't Buy Me Love. And last but not the least, we return to the apes franchise with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! Sabi nga ni Proximus Caesar, "What a wonderful day!"

SPOILER-FREE and you already know that! Hard to believe that this episode runs for under an hour when it seems like we've covered so much. We're already sleepy while writing this description and probably no one reads it anyway (you're more than welcome to disprove us) so we'll just rattle off what's in store for you in this episode. First of all, Ham was eating a donut so that'll explain the chewing noises. We talked about Prime Video's newest post-apocalyptic video game adaptation series, Fallout. We went to the cinema to watch The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, and a bunch of huge stunts. Ham tells us about Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine because she was able to see the screening of The Idea of You, which you can also watch now on Prime Video. We gave our final words on the recently concluded Shogun. Then may kaunting kwento din about Kampon, Baby Reindeer, and Parasite: The Grey. And last but not the least because the slow (mo) and steady finishes the race, we also have Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver!

We're back and we're SPOILER-FREE! We managed to piece together this monstrosity of an episode from our TV and film adventures of past two weeks. We have the Netflix chart topper (no surprise there), A Journey, starring Tabing Ilog-ers Kaye Abad, Paolo Contis, and Patrick Garcia. Directed by RC delos Reyes, this film promises some nostalgia and more. Kaya naman pag-usapan natin if it was able to bring that much more. Napanood din namin ang latest from the Ghostbusters franchise, ang Frozen Empire. Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace and crew are back—and when we say "back", we meant every single one of them is back. Frozen empire promises some nostalgia and more but we just said that about the other movie so pag-usapan na lang natin sa episode! Kasama rin dito ang horror movie na Abigail starring Alisha Weir and Melissa Barrera. Join us as we get into this vampire movie that wasn't exactly what we expected. And to top it all off, we have Mark Wahlberg and a dog in a movie na malamang umantig sa iyong damdamin, pet-lover ka man or not, ang Arthur the King! Showing na pala ito on April 24, not May 1 as we’ve said in the episode.

Another SPOILER-FREE podcasting "masterpiece" delivered from our mouths to your ears! While that statement is questionable at best, we're certain that we had too much fun in this episode. Napanood na namin sa wakas ang phenomenal hit na Rewind kasi nasa Netflix an siya. Hindi naman siguro mapapakinggan ni Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera 'tong episode na 'to ever and that's probably for the best. Sama mo pa ang isa pang MMFF 2023 entry na nasa Netflix na rin, Direk Jun Lana's na Becky and Badette. Pokwang and Eugene Domingo teamed up to give us some laughs and more so pag-usapan natin! Dito rin sa episode, nagkuwento si Ham about Wish na napanood niya sa eroplano. Nagkuwento rin si Mike about The First Omen na napanood naman niya sa advance screening nung movie. And we're not done yet! We also have an in-depth discussion about Netflix's latest series, 3 Body Problem! Benioff and Weiss? Hit or miss? Listen in and join us as we whip up TV trouble and movie mischief as only Please Pause can!

A SPOILER-FREE post-Semana Santa to all! Alam naman naming every one of us can't wait to go back to work *sarcastic cough* but we're here for you! Sinimulan namin sa pinakabagong movie ni Sydney Sweeney where she plays a nun na nabuntis in a horror-ridden convent, Immaculate! Nandito nga din pala si Professor Alvaro Morte. Kaya naman pag-usapan natin if nakabawi na si Sydney after Madame Web! Pagkatapos nun, we get into Lindsay Lohan's latest Netflix movie, Irish Wish. We really wish it was something better but it is what it is. We also talked about the revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, Beau DeMayo's X-Men '97. Join us mga batang '90s as we dig through our childhood memories about this cartoon classic! Then last but not the least, the colossal main event of this episode, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! Mukhang marami na namang matatapakan and may cities na namang mafa-flatten. So is this round 2 of their gigantic battle? Or kaya ba x kasi mag-ex na sila this time around? We won't spoil anything but we'll let you know if sulit bang sine sila Godzilla and Kong!
