SPOILER-FREE but you already know that. Here's a new episode for compliance's sake. We had a lot to go through though starting with A Minecraft Movie! Mike talks about Jack Black and Jason Momoa's video game adaptation from the eyes of a non-Minecraft player so let's see how that goes. Nagkwento naman si Ham about Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller, Black Bag. Wala pa 'to sa Pilipinas officially but if the critics are to be believed, we better hope it gets here soon. We also have a bunch of series we caught up with like the Korean thriller, Karma, with Shin Min-a. Dagdag mo pa dyan yung medical drama ng Netflix with Willa Fitzgerald, Pulse. And syempre, the recently concluded White Lotus Season 3! Last but not least, we get into Rami Malek's quest for revenge in The Amateur.

SPOILER-FREE, it's not a prank! Daming pinag-usapan, halos lahat walang kwenta. In case anybody needs context, Mike is stuck in the beautiful country of the Philippines while Ham is currently living in a cold, gray, cesspool of a city on the other side of the world. We both saw My Love Will Make You Disappear though. Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino's first film as a love team goes worldwide. How did KimPau do? Pag-usapan natin! We also finished When Life Gives You Tangerines on Netflix. It's the newest K-drama phenomenon, no question about it—except how much can IU and crew make you cry in a span of 16 episodes? Lastly, Mike enjoins Ham to watch Adolescence. She doesn't want to but she will. This much we know—for some first listeners na napadpad lang sa podcast na 'to, this episode will make you disappear.

SPOILER-FREE pa rin tayo and this episode for this week actually came early! For once! Or is it last week's episode and it came really late? Whatevs! Unahin na natin ang latest blockbuster na Wicked! Pag-usapan natin how Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande captivated audiences around Oz with their adaptation of this hit theater musical. Pero kung kami ang tatanungin, was it good? Or was it wicked? Listen in and pag-usapan natin. We also got into the latest movie release from Disney, Moana 2! Na actually, is also sort of a musical. Is it a worthy sequel to the first Moana? We have our unqualified opinions as always. We also talked about gems of two films right here that we watched separately. First is Conclave, a thriller which is about the pope selection process with a holy Ralph Fiennes. And second is Heretic, also a thriller but about an unholy Hugh Grant as a... heretic. A match made in heaven. Which of us has seen which? Pakinggan niyo na lang! Also in this episode, My Old Ass and Megan. We think you'll enjoy this one. No joke! No joke!

Season premiere! It's the 4th season of Please Pause! Join us as we reflect on our podcasting journey and talk about motivation, passion, inspirations, and regrets. We tried writing that with a straight face but we can't! Anyway, we did try to uncover what we really accomplished in three years of Please Pause, if there's any. But enough about us, this episode is really about endings and new beginnings. Unang pinag-usapan ang explosive finale ng Ang Probinsyano as Cardo's story comes full circle. Hindi natupad ang original prediction namin sa ending sequel so now we have brand new sequel and spin-off suggestions! At sa pagtatapos ng Ang Probinsyano, kapalit naman niyo ang Darna! After all the experts have spoken, kami naman na mga walang alam. We get into Darna's decades long history on screen. We also touch on ABS-CBN Darna's long road of development. Then we get to our best and worst of the pilot week and necessary nitpicks--product placement, hygeine, at mga bagay na nao-overwhelm si Ham sa laki. Just adding some click-bait-y terms here to entice you guys--dismal state of the industry, pregnancy rumors, and historical revisionism. Welcome to Please Pause Season 4!

It's a SPOILER-FREE episode this week with another edition of The Binge! We open with Pilipinas on Pause where we discussed the metro's flooding and transportation issues. That sounded serious but if you know us, alam mo namang we're really not. We also took the opportunity for a quick Ka-Pause Catch Up Corner where we spotlighted a few messages from our listeners. Then onto movies! Sinimulan namin sa The Entitled na directed by Theodore Boborol and starring Alex Gonzaga. Join us as we share our thoughts on this Netflix chart-topper built on spit, vomit, and poop... And some jokes and gags. Then Ham talked about Through Ernesto's Eyes, a critically acclaimed and award winning Brazilian movie. She tried her best to pronounce the names of its cast to varying degrees of success. Napanood pala namin 'to online sa Hiraya Cinema. Unsurprisingly, Mike didn't have plenty of useful insights to contribute to the discussion. We then got into Incantation, a Taiwanese horror film na sa totoo lang si Mike lang ang nanood in full dahil takot si Ham. Lastly, pinag-usapan ang Purple Hearts kung saan naalala ni Ham ang favorite niyang Nicholas Sparks novels and the steamy scenes therein. Oh and by the way, this is the final episode of our 3rd season! Just like that, it's already been 3 years and we're at least marginally better than when we started! Marginally better and proud of it!

Nagbabalik kami with another SPOILER-FREE edition of The Binge! But syempre we start with Pilipinas on Pause, since medyo maraming nangyari sa Pilipinas this past week. Then onto our binge starting with the Russo brothers' The Gray Man! Isa na namang expensive movie from Netflix and this time we have Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans so we try to answer the question--is it worth it? We then get into the latest Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, kung saan nagbalik sa Star Wars universe si Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiensen. Listen as we also talk about Ham's newest favorite Star Wars character of all time, Reva the Inquisitor (Ham rolls her eyes right here). Isa pang napag-usapan ang Season 2 of the HBO series starring Kaley Cuoco, The Flight Attendant. We liked Season 1. Flight attendant pa rin si Kaley sa Season 2. The rest pakinggan niyo na lang dito. We end this episode with VIVAMAX updates as we talk about Project 8 Projects' Kitty K7. Directed by Joy Aquino and starring Rose Van Ginkel and Marco Gallo, we watched this movie because we heard na may moral lesson daw dito. Let's just go with that.

We're talking about Ms. Marvel! SPOILER-FREE pa kami in the first part of the episode so don't worry if you haven't watched or finished it yet--pero panoorin niyo na rin because it's really good! To think that Ham actually read a comic book for this episode! We talk about Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel's Inhuman origins in the comics, and the review bombing phenomenon. Napag-usapan din ang pangarap ni Ham na superpowers, holographic technology in the MCU, and speakerphones. Also in this epsiode, taxes and expenditures in another edition of Pilipinas on Pause.

Stranger Things Season 4 is in the books and it ended with a bang! We can't believe that it's our first ever full episode on this series! Kung hindi niyo pa tapos, don't worry, SPOILER-FREE ang first ng aming episode. Millie Bobby Brown and the entire gang is back this season with some new additions--ang tanong na lang, did they all make it out! Napag-usapan ang aming favorite characters and favorite plot points, pati na rin ang aspects ng season na 'to na hindi masyadong OK pero dahil this is Stranger Things, OK na lang rin. We won't be turning into a true crime podcast any time soon but the 80s was a time when D&D was connected to some unfortunate events. And since Dungeons and Dragons plays a prominent role in the series, we also get into the tumultuous time in D&D history in our newest segment, History is Like a Chismis!

Pag-usapan natin ang bagong-bago at mainit na mainit na teleserye gabi-gabi, ang A Family Affair! First off, Ham tells us how her hometown of Masbate was showcased in this series. Then PEP.ph writer and host of Rewined: A Throwback Podcast, Jimpy Anarcon, tells us about this teleserye's history--going back to its postponement due to the pandemic, its revival with a reworked concept, and changing its lead actress from Bea Alonzo to Maja Salvador, to finally, Ivana Alawi. We get into the "substance" behind Jameson Blake's character. Mike also has a couple of predictions on how the story will unfold. Alamin din kung ano ang 4 na nagustuhan ni Jimpy sa teleserye at ang scene na pilot week pa lang, nagpaiyak na kay Ham. Plus, a classic teleserye trope on revealing secrets, Flordeluna faking her death, and Akin Ka na Lang as the official theme song of sexy ranch-based series.

Now that it's out on Disney Plus, it's time to talk about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! We get into Cornetto commercials, double-sided tape, and misleading trailers--not all of those are related to the movie. Pinag-usapan din ang importance ng pep talks and the power of self-confidence. This Doctor Strange sequel directed by Sam Raimi gave us reveals, surprises, and scares pero we can't help but air out ang mga reklamo namin. Listen in and find out kung anu-anong complaints ang meron kami about this movie, and of course, the things we actually loved about it. Na-bring up din ang history ni America Chavez, multiversal incursions, and ang mole ni Rachel McAdams. We also ask, ano bang official press release ng Avengers about the events of Infinity War and Endgame? Can Marvel Studios have an A Quiet Place-type of deal for one of its future reboots?

It's another SPOILER-FREE episode of The Binge! We're back this week after Ham was away last week on vacation (from work, from the podcast, and from Mike) and we have a lot to talk about. Unang-una na, hot off the presses, kakapanood lang namin sa sine, the third and final installment of the Jurassic World sequel trilogy, Jurassic World: Dominion. If you're trying to decide if this is worth watching, listen in and we might just be able to help you out. Marami pa ring dinosaurs, may human clone, and may threat of a global famine. Pero not because of dinosaurs. Basta. We also talk about one of our favorite shows that recently concluded its third season, Bill Hader's Barry! If you're not watching this series, you're missing out! It's one of the best out there and hindi lang kami ang nagsasabi nun. Finally, pinag-usapan namin ang latest Harry Potter spin-off movie, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The previous movie, The Crimes of Grindelwald, wasn't exactly... uh, good, so maybe they brought the magic back here? All that in this episode plus a bit of Hustle, Interceptor, and our segment we'd like to call, VIVAMAX Updates!

We continue our binge and syempre this episode is SPOILER-FREE! This week we're doing a midseason report on two of our favorites, Stranger Things and Better Call Saul. We also talk about Sony's latest Marvel movie, Morbius! Akala namin last season na ng Stranger Things ang Season 4 pero hindi pa pala but no matter, this season is bigger than ever. We're going to make a full episode about the Season 4 down the line but in the meantime, we share our initial impressions about the latest adventure of our favorite 80s kids (na hindi na actually kids, oh how fast time passes). Pag dating naman sa Better Call Saul, last season na and Season 6 does not disappoint! If you're not watching this series, why? And then there's Morbius. Starring Jared Leto. It's from Sony. Nandun si Matt Smith from Doctor Who. It's from Sony. It. Is. From. Sony. Anyway, also in this episode, another edition of our segment dedicated to our country, Pilipinas on Pause.

It's SPOILER-FREE in another edition of The Binge! We have a lot to cover and we're all over the place as always! First, we introduce a brand new segment that we'd like to call Pilipinas on Pause--a moment dedicated to our beloved country. Join us as we then talk about one of the most enjoyable movies in recent memory, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Since it's the very theme of the story, we got into possible alternate timelines stemming from significant turning points in our lives. We also talked about a trio of Filipino movies that we saw recently. Una na ang Greed, Nadine Lustre's comeback movie and probably the farthest from the movies that she's been known for. Then we have 366 which was written, directed, and starred in by Bela Padilla. Marami na silang naging movie si Bela and JC Santos pero sa 366 pa lang ata nangyari na sa synopsis pa lang, na-kill off na yung character ni JC. And speaking of sad, we also talked about More Than Blue starring Yassi Pressman and JC Santos (na naman). Dito naman, synopsis pa lang, may taning na agad ang buhay ng character ni JC. Lastly, para meron namang light and funny (and mababaw) lang, we also talked about Senior Year, starring Rebel Wilson and her slimmer, fitter body. Also in this episode, anong gagawin namin kapag nanalo kami sa lotto, an idea for a food business, and an Apple store rant. Did we mention that we're all over the place?

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!

Kahtniel is back and so are we, with a Kathniel episode! We're talking about 2 Good 2 Be True! Sorry, ang dami nga lang asides and digressions starting with Mike's PBB rant and Albie Casiño's multiverse of madness. Napuntahan din ang prospective cabinet members ni President Cardo Dalisay when that finally happens in Ang Probinsyano. But going back to Kathniel, we realized na wala pala kaming masyadong alam sa teleseryes nila kaya pasensya na for completely messing up our retelling of La Luna Sangre. But going back to 2 Good 2 Be True, we get into the K-Dramafication of the series packaging, the use of flashbacks, and ano ba dapat, cubicle or urinal? And kung may budol crew si Daniel, we would like to propose that Kathryn have her own crew too. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE in the first part! Sa ngalan ng kapangyarihan ng buwan, we're talking about Moon Knight! Starring Oscar Isaac, Oscar Isaac, and others, it's the newest MCU series that we’re not really sure yet about its place in the MCU. We get into how Director Mohamed Diab pushed for authenticity in portraying Egypt despite not actually shooting in Egypt. We also touched on Moon Knight in the series versus in the comics--is he really Marvel's Batman. Also in this episode, we give an afterword on one of the most momentous events in the Philippine history. Mike also confuses Ham's favorite book authors from high school, Sidney Sheldon and Nicholas Sparks. Then a quick discussion on one of our upcoming senators.

It's the conversation about the Philippine elections that no one asked for! Let us be your companion habang kayo ay nakapila at nag-aantay na maging part of our country's history. Simulang simula pa lang ng episode usapang sibuyas na agad! But note to self, dahil nga elections na, bawal na mangampanya. We also talked about our recent cinema experience. Nagbabalik din ang segment namin na pinamagatang, VIVAMAX updates. We then got into how this election is probably the weirdest ever. And it all went downhill from there. And oh yeah, somewhere in there, we did talk about First Daughter starring Katie Holmes. Masabi lang ba that we did. So let your voices be heard! Make your votes count!

We finally finished Business Proposal! And we now understand why this K-drama series has been topping the Netflix Charts since it started airing! Join us as we talk about the multi-talented Kim Sejeong, the candy girl archetype, and prince charming stories. In fairness sa Business Proposal, it had some surprisingly "steamy" situations not just from Sejeong and her leading man, Ahn Hyo-seop, but also from their co-stars Kim Min-kyu and our newest favorite girl, Seol In-ah. Somehow na-bring up din ang mga magazines sa 7-11 na nakatakip ng bond paper ang cover. Pati na rin si Jake Cuenca sa Viral Scandal. Plus, ano nga bang meron sa Pampanga?

This week, Please Pause is back with a vengeance! Don't worry, kung hindi mo pa napapanood, SPOILER-FREE pa ang first part ng episode. We're talking about Director Matt Reeves' The Batman! After refusing to watch it in the cinema, we finally saw Robert Pattinson's version of the dark knight when it came out on HBO Go here in the Philippines--and it did not disappoint! Well, it did, maybe in some aspects. Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and the corny? From this super realistic take on the caped crusader! Listen in as Ham flexes her Batman knowledge considering na hindi naman siya comic book reader. At dahil wala kaming episode last week, medyo maraming na-bring up about our Holy Week vacation and Easter Sunday adventures. We also get into the canon-ness of deleted scenes, the meaning of DC in DC Comics, and Jennifer Lopez. May plug din sa weffriddles.com, isang brain teaser website na nauso nung high school pa kami, during the times na dial-up pa ang internet ng karamihan sa Pilipinas. Try niyo rin and let us know kung saang level kayo sumuko at lumipat na lang sa Facebook at Youtube para manood ng viral videos. Batman!

SPOILER-FREE sa first part ng episode! Sawa ka na ba sa shows about lawyers, businessmen, actors, or doctors? How about a K-drama series about weather forecasters? This week on Please Pause, we're talking about Forecasting Love and Weather! Starring Park Min-young and Song Kang, this series gives the scientific community some much needed representation in the drama world! To say the least, the Korean Meteorological Administration's job is not an easy and simple matter--at lalong hindi sila bolang kristal. Lalo mo pang paguluhin with a love square laden with infidelity! We get into kung bakit relate na relate si Ham sa trabaho nila kahit hindi naman siya meteorologist. We also talk about the complications of office romances, lalo na pag dating sa "performance" reviews. Napag-usapan din how this series was the source of Ham's hairstyle inspiration.

Life, love, and loss in this episode of Please Pause as we talk about the K-Drama series, Thirty-Nine! Kung hindi pa kayo tapos, okay lang kasi SPOILER-FREE ang first part ng episode! When we saw that this series stars Son Ye-Jin from Crash Landing on You, Jeon Mi-do from Hospital Playlist, and Kim Ji-hyun from Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, we were immediately sold! Samahan niyo kami as we talk about friendships, relationships... and sponsorships? We also get into the mixed bag of emotions this series has put us through even if it didn't quite have the same effect on both of us. We also try to figure out, gaano nga ba karami ang pwedeng mangyari over a cup of coffee, or as they say, ko-pi? Also in this episode, Will Smith and the craziest Oscars of all time. Plus on a serious note, South Korea's orphans and abandoned children. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

We're SPOILER-FREE in another edition of The Binge! We start with Disney and Pixar's latest movie, Turning Red! Bakit nga ba isa na naman 'tong movie na okay sa critics pero medyo mixed reviews sa audiences? Masama bang mag-hulk out into a giant red panda? Then from the latest to late to the party, we talk about Ted Lasso na finally, napanood na rin namin. Listen in and find out how Ham liked this series as a person na wala masyadong alam sa football or actually, sports in general. Mike then confesses a mistake that led to them watching Kinsenas, Katapusan plus other not-for-kids Filipino movies that involves delivery apps, religious cults, and chandeliers. Lastly, we round out this binge with Erik Matti and Michiko Yamamoto's horror anthology, Rabid, na mapapanood na sa Netflix!

SPOILER-FREE in the first part of this episode! Dahil alam namin na meron pa sa inyong magdo-downl--we meant, manonood pa lang. Finally! We're talking about Spider-Man: No Way Home! In this episode, pinag-usapan namin ang first time namin after two long years (na manood ng sine). Napunta rin sa ilang realizations about Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and The Amazing Spider-Man movies. Ang tanong ni Ham: Marisa Tomei, how to be you po? We then tried to figure out the biomechanics of Tobey Maguire's organic web-shooters. We're also still wishing for an Andrew Garfield singing Spider-Man movie. And yes, Tom Holland, we can't forget about him! Movie niya 'to! Syempre we can't have a comic book movie episode without talking about the comic books! The Wedding, The Other, Civil War, One More Day, and Spider-Verse--so much Spider-Man to talk about! Also in this episode, someone brought up tertiary education and state universities and colleges. Lastly, it's not really related to Spider-Man but we do a test on Ham's voice. We'll let you be the judge!

May movie na naman si Ryan Reynolds sa Netflix! Pero this time parang wala silang marketing gimmick. No matter, The Adam Project is number one on Netflix Philippines! Directed by Shawn Levy and co-starring Walker Scobell, Zoe Saldaña, and Catherine Keener, this time travel movie also reunited Jennifer Garner (na favorite ni Ham) and Mark Ruffalo! Listen in and find out kung bakit magkaiba feelings namin dito, e parehong movie lang naman napanood namin. Somehow nakarating pa sa lukso ng dugo and workplace discrimination.

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 as always in this edition of The Binge! Well, maybe minor spoilers sa Love is Color Blind. OK, maybe some major spoilers? Pero dun lang. Whatever! We get into a bunch of stuff we recently watched starting with DonBelle and the highest grossing Filipino film of 2021, Love is Color Blind! Ham sets the record straight in the face of Mike's allegations regarding her feelings about this movie. Dun-dun-dunnn! We then talk about Netflix's improvised whodunnit comedy starring Will Arnett and a slew of celebrity guests, Murderville. Pagkatapos nun, kay Edgar Wright naman as we talk about his psychological thriller, Last Night in Soho. With Anya Taylor-Joy and Matt Smith, and sold! At dahil nga it's the season din naman ng mga manloloko, we wrap up this episode with superstar scammer Anna Delvey played by Julia Garner in Inventing Anna. That's our recent binge!

SPOILER-FREE tayo sa first part ng episode na 'to pero if you haven't watched Peacemaker yet, it's about time you do! Ayaw na sana namin gawan ng episode ang series na 'to but it's just so much fun! James Gunn and John Cena outdid themselves this time as they've produced one of DC's best so far. We may have disagreed with our take on Cena's showing in The Suicide Squad but there's no question that he's all in as Peacemaker. We get into how well the comedy works in this series without sacrificing heart and sincerity. Ham also schools us about one of James Gunn's signature creative devices. We also talk about what this series did better than The Suicide Squad and uh... Eternals? Basta maganda. Enough said! Let's talk about Peacemaker!

The power of the binge! SPOILER-FREE! We're back with another packed episode as we go through the movies and series we recently watched. Sinimulan namin sa pinakabagong Korean hit series na All of Us are Dead! The problem is, only one of us have seen it and technically, we're not even sure if we can call it watching it. So pumunta na lang kami sa Korean movie that quickly shot up the Netflix Philippines charts, Love and Leashes! Napag-usapan kung bakit kaya bigla rin siyang nawala sa top 10 even though may collars, chains, and whips involved in this movie. Sorry dahil pati si Kim Chiu nadamay pa sa usapan. We then get into the recently concluded Star Wars series on Disney Plus, The Book of Boba Fett. Or should we say The Mandalorian Book Two and a Half? Then from one 80s property to another na buhay pa rin after all this time, we talk about Ghostbusters: Afterlife. We complete this binge with two Oscar-nominated films, Luca and The Power of the Dog! Syempre, we can't help but compare Disney movies since kalaban ni Luca ang Encanto. Sino kayang mananalo? Well, tingin namin it's almost certainly Disney. And last but not the least, after all the buzz in the 2021 Venice International Film Festival (na mostly dahil kay John Arcilla), we finally watched The Power of the Dog and ang performance ni Benedict Cumberbatch. Just to redeem ourselves a bit from the recording, the quote is "deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog." Ang lalim! Thanks for listening and share your recent binge!

Director Marla Ancheta is on Please Pause! Direktor lang naman siya ng Netflix Philippines chart-toppers Finding Agnes and Ikaw, dagdag mo pa a couple of music videos and over a hundred TV ads. She took us through her "day job" of being a TV commercial director and the relationship between the client, the ad agency, and the production team. Kaya naman ang dami rin naming tanong like magnanay ba talaga sila? Pano gumawa ng bula? We also got into the trend of ads na aside from magbenta, paiiyakin ka pa. It wouldn't be Please Pause if we didn't talk about Direk Marla's movies. Napag-usapan ang experiences niya with Finding Agnes, her first feature, and dealing with criticism as a relatively new film director. And syempre what's Valentine's Day if we didn't talk about her latest romantic movie starring Janine Gutierrez and Pepe Herrera, Ikaw! Ang tanong, kanino ba talagang kasalanan at sinong dapat sisihin? Listen in and find out! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

If hindi pa kayo tapos, don't worry, the first part of our episode is SPOILER-FREE! What happens when a K-drama expert and an avid K-pop fan talk about the most controversial Korean TV series in recent memory? NOT THIS EPISODE! Because even if we're neither of those things, that won't stop us from talking about Snowdrop! Starring Blackpink Jisoo and Jung Hae-in as star-crossed lovers ala Crash Landing on You but not really. We dissect the root of the controversy as only Please Pause can, dahil nga as you all know, we're a TV and film podcast unlike any other (at least that's what we tell ourselves). We get into the political context of 1980s South Korea, the pro-democracy movement in 1987, and the atrocities of that era's military regime. Pinag-usapan din ang bago naming favorite na Koreana na si Yoo In-na. Medyo marami kaming Best and Worst entries here so please bear with us. We're also requesting help from our younger listeners to understand kung ano bang mga gagawin mo sa ngalan ng pag-ibig? Plus our newest segment, Ka-Pause Catch Up Corner.

If we sounded like we're having too much fun in this episode, rest assured, nakikiramay po kami sa mga kinaliwa, inagawan, at niloko! This week, we're talking about the first week of ABS-CBN's latest teleserye starring Jodi Sta. Maria, Zanjoe Marudo, and Sue Ramirez, The Broken Marriage Vow! As always, we have our Best and Worst and Necessary Nitpicks. For the sake of comparison, pinanood din namin ang first episode ng Doctor Foster at The World of the Married--dahil sabi ni Ham, you know, journalistic integrity. Meron nga pala kaming series ni Han So-hee na hindi namin maalala yung title, patulong na lang. At dahil cheating and infidelity ang pinag-uusapan, we can't help but bring up celebrity chismis of the past and present. Plus, some advice sa mga kinakaliwa... at nangangaliwa. Somehow nakarating din kami sa ideal husband life according to Mike. Listen in at samahan niyo kaming manggigil sa mga unfaithful!

Masterpiece or disaster? We're talking about the thing that has divided Marvel fans and critics more than the Sokovia Accords did for the Avengers, Chloe Zhao's Eternals! At dahil hindi namin siya pinanood sa sinehan, we finally got to see it in the comfort of our couch dahil lumabas na rin siya sa Disney Plus. Marvel sure put a lot into this movie with an ensemble cast including the likes of Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Selma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, and Don Lee--nakuha pa nilang gamiting extra si Jon Snow. In a movie of firsts for the MCU, we try to understand what worked and what didn't in this time-jumping, world-traveling, universe-revealing story.

SPOILER-FREE ang kalakaran as always on this edition of The Binge! Join us as we talk about the movies and series we recently watched. Unang pinag-usapan si Andrew Garfield pero hindi dahil sa Spider-Man: No Way Home, but because of his recent win as Best Actor in the Golden Globes Award for his role as Jonathan Larson in Tick, Tick... Boom! And in the process of talking about passion, we contemplate the eventual end of Please Pause (pardon Mike as he went a bit off-the-rails... more than usual). Tuloy ang usapan as we get into Disney's Encanto starring a singing Stephanie Beatriz and Lin-Manuel Miranda's songs. Listen to Ham get emotional as she relates to Mirabel Madrigal's struggles while Mike has a struggle of his own regarding the movie's moral lesson. We round out this Binge with two Netflix series starting with the show people love to hate, Emily in Paris. At panghuli, the series Ham almost gave up on, Cobra Kai!

Can you believe that it's been 20 years since the first Harry Potter movie came out? Kaya naman naki-reminisce kami with Dan, Rupert, and Emma in the HBO Max special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary - Return to Hogwarts! We talk about how we first got into the Wizarding World--from actually reading the books, to navigating concerns of demonic influence, at pagpapabili ng hardbound na libro dahil ang isa sa amin ay sosyalera nung bata pa siya; to seeing pages come alive on the big screen and becoming teenage movie "critics". We maxed out our nostalgia meter as the kids who literally grew up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, kaya apologies in advance na lang to the Tiktokers who can't relate! And of course, hindi pwedeng hindi pag-usapan ang very controversial na si J.K. Rowling. Ano nga ba talagang first name niya? Somehow in this episode, we've also managed to bring up Alexandra Daddario and maybe spoil How to Get Away with Murder. That and the things that made us appreciate Harry Potter even more in this episode! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

A SPOILER-FREE opening to 2022 mga ka-PAUSE as we talk about our recent binge! But first, we thank our loyal listeners this past year with a special shout out in this episode. Maraming salamat for supporting Please Pause! Pa-click naman ng affiliate links namin! Then onto JP Habac and Jollibee's short film starring Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz, Chicken Joy, and Jolly Spaghetti, ang One True Pair--isang usapang napunta sa Youtube commercials at Tiktok propaganda, san ka pa? We also got into a bunch of Filipino series that recently became available on Netflix including our newest absolute favorite, the erotic drama thriller, Hush. We highly recommend it but siguraduhing tulog na ang mga bata bago niyo panoorin! We then round out our first episode of the year with the Money Heist finale at kung bakit parang wala nang masyadong ingay ang series na 'to. Pinanood nga rin pala namin ang Venom: Let There Be Carnage as we PATIENTLY wait for Spider-Man: No Way Home. We end with a discussion on production budgets and star-studded casts, as we get into Adam McKay's Don't Look Up. Listen in and find out kung ano na namang unsolicited marketing ideas ang meron kami for Netflix... and Wilcon Depot. Happy new year!

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.

Happy Hawkeye holidays to all! Ito na ata ang closest that we'll get to an MCU Christmas special and Marvel delivered a lot of presents under the giant Christmas tree! Hailee Steinfeld makes her debut as Kate Bishop in this arrow-splitting adventure! After some surprises here and there, we ask--ano kayang kahihinatnan ng inter-streaming platform multiverse of madness? We also delve into some Hollywood chismis with Jeremy Renner's exes baggage. At ang tanong, related ba si Echo Alaqua Cox at si Daredevil Charlie Cox? We top it off with a sprinkling of usapang age-is-just-a-number with Florence Pugh's love life! Nabanggit din ang pangarap ni Ham na spy skills na syempre hanggang pangarap na lang. We also went over the show's mother-knows-best type of wisdom. Then in an unlikely turn of events, Ham takes Mike to school as she explains one of the shows plot points to him. What an unexpected surprise!

Director Miko Livelo is on Please Pause! We talked to one of the founders of the Philippine Giant Monster Defense Institute as Voltes V meets The Office sa ginawa nilang short film ni Mihk Vergara for QCinema 2021, Mighty Robo V! If you weren't able to catch it, sayang! Hinihintay din namin na maging available siya ulit somewhere, somehow para mapanood namin ulit! We also asked Direk Miko about his filmmaking journey--from when he almost quit back in 2012 with fellow director and frequent collaborator Joel Ferrer (Hello World, Woke Up Like This, Elise), then getting to do his first feature based on a father-son story laced with Japanese Super Sentai in Blue Bustamante, to working on mainstream movies for major studios. Pinag-usapan din ang Miko Livelo cinematic universe! Ultraman and Bernardo Carpio-inspired na giant archipelago defender? Nandyan si Carpioman.

SPOILER-FREE na kwentuhan na naman about our recent binge! We start with Taylor Swift's short film starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien, All Too Well: The Short Film! Patulong na lang sa pag-pronounce ng Gyllenhaal. Next up, we talk about the series starring Penn Badgley and Victoria Pedretti na talaga namang #couplegoals, You Season 3. Pinag-usapan din ang sci-fi epic starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya na Dune. Alam naming fear is the mind-killer but please remain careful and cautious dahil pandemic pa sa Pilipinas! Lalo lang tuloy kaming nanghinayang na hindi pa nakakabalik sa normal ang mga sinehan. We also introduce our "pwede na rin" rating scale for movies as we touch on the prequel to Army of the Dead, Matthias Scheighofer's Army of Thieves. Finally, we round out this binge with the powerful female characters of Han So Hee in My Name and Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown. Also in this episode, the first ever Please Pause Award!

Sinong kumuha ng MOA Globe??? We're talking about Netflix's biggest movie to date, Red Notice! Starring a trio of highly paid actors, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, this movie helmed by director Rawson Marshall Thurber shot up to number one on Netflix's charts. We get into buddy comedies, on-screen chemistry, and bad acting. Nabanggit din ang fascination ni Mike with the name Rawson. Somewhere in the episode, we also touched on the moral implications of being a soldier under the Lannister banner. Plus a shameless plug for a different story involving three eggs, Please Pause Adventure Part 3! You can find that here: https://spoti.fi/2JHesht Syempre hindi pwedeng hindi pag-usapan ang marketing push for this movie that bordered on (a) spreading fake news, (b) inducing panic among the public, (c) a questionable way to garner attention, or (d) all of the above.

Director Erik Matti is on Please Pause! And ang dami niyang kinuwento! We started off with bringing Michiko Yamamoto's scripts to life and refusing to settle in filmmaking, the Philippine film industry then and now, and making movies in the midst of a pandemic. He also touched on the changing local entertainment landscape with the advent of the age of online streaming. Napag-usapan din ang A Girl and a Guy and unrealistic romantic stories. Meron ding mga behind the scenes na kuwento on the making and the future of Buy Bust. We also got into the disappointing local release of On the Job in 2013 and its international success. Then the original plans for On the Job 2 and the future of the franchise. Did you know that there was a US remake of on the Job that was in development for some time? Alam na namin ngayon.

Hong Banjang! Alam naming kinilig din kayo kay Dr. Yoon Hye-jin and Chief Hong Du-sik so let's talk about Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha! If you're not done with this series yet (WHY?!?), don't worry, the first part of our episodes is always SPOILER-FREE. Naki-chismis lang kami with the stars of the number one K-drama on Netflix na sila Shin Min-a and Kim Seo-ho and nalula kami sa presyo ng signature clothes and accessories sa show na 'to. We also touched on how this adaptation is very similar yet much, much better than the original 2004 movie, Mr. Handy, Mr. Hong. Of course we have our Best and Worst and Necessary Nitpicks.

SPOILER-FREE on the latest edition of The Binge on Please Pause! Hold on to your marbles dahil punong-puno na naman ang episode na 'to! After watching Alice in Borderland, somehow Ham was able to fight through her aversion to head shots at natapos niya rin finally ang Squid Game! We got into how this phenomenon swept through the Netflix charts across the globe, as it became the streaming platform's most popular series to date. Kahit mukhang lahat naman tayo ay nakanood na ng Squid Game, we kept it SPOILER-FREE so we didn't mention na mamamatay si BLEEP, at si BLEEP, at si BLEEP! Amid issues on its originality, syempre pinanood din namin yung sinasabing kagaya nitong Japanese movie, ang As the Gods Will. We also close the loop on Marvel's What If?… following our last binge covering the first four episodes. This time, we talk about the latter half of its first season. We ponder how the MCU unravels as this series opens up a multiverse of possibilities. And finally, moving from one all-powerful threat to another, we talk about our chilling takeaways from the documentary, A Thousand Cuts. If you haven't watched it yet, it's now available on Youtube for free! Gusto niyo kakanta kami? Also in this episode, we pay tribute to John Legend!

SPOILER-FREE sa first part ng FUN-yetang episode 'to as Please Pause talks about Erik Matti and Michiko Yamomoto's On the Job: The Missing 8! Ang dami naming napag-usapan dito—politics, corruption, journalism, pati na rin Omega, Rolex, Breitling, and Panerai. Sama niyo na rin ang kakatapos lang na filing of COCs, the controversial girl group Playgirls, and the best K-dramas we do not know. Somehow lahat yan connected sa The Missing 8! After premiering in the 78th Venice International Film Festival, sana napanood niyo 'tong movie na ginawang series sa HBO Go. Kung hindi kami nagkakamali, pwede niyo siyang panoorin with the free trial na akala namin 1 month pero 7 days lang pala ata; hindi talaga namin alam. Anyway, nabalitaan niyo naman siguro na nanalo si John Arcilla ng Volpi Cup for Best Actor dito for his role as Sisoy Salas. If you've seen On the Job, this is a must watch. If you haven't seen On the Job yet, GESENG GESENG na, we highly recommend that you do! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

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!

Director Glenn Barit is on Please Pause! We get to talk to him about his critically acclaimed and multi-award winning film, Cleaners! But first, we asked him about his filmmaking journey—from taking up a totally unrelated course in college, to working in the sound department and as a musical scorer, making short films, then directing his first feature. He gave us details on the film festival experience, what it takes to produce a movie with very limited resources, and the advantages of breaking form in filmmaking. He also tells us about Cleaners' on-going tour of the international film festival circuit! Syempre we got in depth on Cleaners with spoilers in the latter part of this episode! Kung may producer at executive producer, ano naman ang executive food producer? Makulay ba ang buhay sa kantang Prutas at Gulay? Sinong nagpa-uso ng Sagada weave? Pano gamitin ang Chekhov's gun? Kelangan bang asintado ang artista mo? Nostalgia, comedy, pati social and political commentary, lahat na nasa episode na 'to! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Catch Cleaners while you can on KTX, UPSTREAM.PH and Spamflix!

Bago siya mawala sa Netflix Philippines, we've decided to finally talk about Reply 1988! Kung mga slow burn na series lang ang pag-uusapan, this fire is fueled by charcoal briquettes. At 20 episodes with some clocking in at two hours, this is not a breeze to watch but we're more than glad we hung on! For noobs like us, we're lucky this series has been one of our introductions to K-drama. Join us as we recall our favorite moments from this series and explore its context in Korean history and society (what?). If hindi pa kayo makapili sa Reply series, Prison Playbook, or Hospital Playlist, Reply 1988 is the definite must-watch from writer Lee Woo-jong and director Shin Won-ho! Baka naman nakaka-relate ka kay Deok-sun or kay Dong-ryong pag dating sa school? So Jung-hwan ka ba or Taek? May mga high school at college memories na naungkat sa episode na 'to whether Mike likes it or not. Unfortunately, hindi siya kasing smooth ni Sun-woo in high school. Kung gusto mo pang habulin 'to sa Netflix by September 30, good luck sa'yo! Kung nagustuhan mo siya pero inabutan ka ng deadline, gawan mo na lang ng paraan! Me-e-e-e-eh! JOOGGEULLAE?

Wala na ba talagang Season 3? We're talking about Hospital Playlist! Suction... Mosquito forceps... The microscope can come in now! This top rating K-Drama just concluded its 2nd season and people can't get over it. Join us as we follow the 99ers Ik-jun, Jeong-won, Jun-wan, Seok-hyeong, and Song-hwa as they inspire us to be better humans. Pwede bang lahat na lang ng doctors katulad nila? Sana tumutugtog din lahat sila sa banda. Sana din lahat ng ospital kasing ganda ng Yulje Medical Center kasi parang ang sarap tumambay sa cafe dun. Listen in as we get in depth into this medical drama that's less heartbreaking and more heartwarming. Spoiler-alert, no plane crashes were involved in this series.
