A movie review podcast where we talk about "kilig" movies, and analyze why they became popular cultural phenomena.
Welcome to the '92 Winter Olympics, Just Shut Uppers! Put on your thick coats and thermal underwear and join us in supporting the tandem of Doug Dorsey and Kate Moseley in the 1992 figure skating romcom The Cutting Edge! Listen as we discuss how difficult it was to debunk Hollywood rumors in the early '90's (spoiler alert: Moira Kelly is still alive), how kilig cured GP's homesickness while in the US, and which member of D'Gang is the best ice skater (spoiler alert: it's a 4-way tie for last place). So tune in, Just Shut Uppers, as we give a gold medal-worthy performance on this episode! You'll surely score it a perfect 6.0! Or at least a 5.8. ‘Cause nobody's perfect. Except you, Just Shut Uppers. Mwah.
Hello, everyone! D'Gang would like to welcome you all to “be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test. Tie your napkin ‘round your neck, cheri, and we'll provide the rest.” And by “guest”, we mean “Just Shut Uppers.” And by “service”, we mean “Just Shut Up You Had Me At Hello Podcast.” And by “tie your napkin ‘round your neck, cheri, and we'll provide the rest”, we mean “Our next episode is the award-winning, kilig-inducing, Disney animated hit Beauty and the Beast!” Listen as RR questions the monarchy laws of succession of 18th century France, D'Gang debates on who is the most beautiful Disney Princess ever (spoiler alert: it's Belle, and it's not even close), and GP sets a Just Shut Up record for most bleeps in an episode (spoiler alert: it's not for curse words). So put on your best ballroom gowns and ruffled tuxedos and join us for some girl-on-animal kilig as we take a trip around the enchanted castle (except for the West Wing of course)!
Welcome back, Just Shut Uppers! And welcome back, Carla! We missed your kilig-ness and bubbly-ness in our last episode. But you came back just in time to travel to Vietnam with us to experience A Tourist's Guide to Love! And we would like to welcome our beloved Rachael Leigh Cook to the Just Shut Up Two Timer's Club! The first double appearance on our podcast! Woohoo! Listen as RR tells us about his Tabing Ilog feels with the movie, Carla tries to show us a dance on an audio podcast, and D'Gang plans their next podcast recording in Vietnam (spoiler alert: asa). So join us as we try to cross the street to meet our one true love without getting killed by a thousand motorcycles! Anh yêu em chỉ cần đóng cửa trên! That's “I love you, Just Shut Uppers!” in Vietnamese. Trust us.
Welcome (broke)back, Just Shut Uppers! Another first for you all! Our first all-boys episode! Carla couldn't make it, but the show must go on! And what better way to spend an all-boys episode than by looking for kilig in 1963 Wyoming up on Brokeback Mountain! Listen as they talk about Jake Gyllenhaal's cult classic Donnie Brasco (spoiler alert: it's actually Donnie Darko. Idiot.), whether two guys kissing is the same as two girls kissing (spoiler alert: NO IT IS NOT), and if any of them have ever gone skinny dipping (spoiler alert: not on purpose). F.Y.I. Just Shut Uppers. This was probably our most difficult episode yet. First, because it was hard finding kilig. And second, because WE MISSED CARLA! Come back soon! D'Gang is not the same when it's just D'Boys!
Happy Valentine's Day, Just Shut Uppers! This is it! The episode you've all been waiting for! It's only a little movie called "JUST SHUT UP! YOU HAD ME AT HELLO! PODCAST!" Sorry, I mean "Jerry Maguire"! Listen as D'Gang gives you the origin of their podcast name (and the name they didn't choose), RR reminisces on his favorite Friendster testimonials (remember those?), and GP almost sheds a tear recalling his real life Jerry Maguire moment. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode. We promise, it will complete you…
Happy 2023, Just Shut Uppers! I truly believe this is going to be One Fine Year! Because our first episode for this One Fine Podcast is… take a guess… wait… did you say One Fine Day? Yes! How did you JSU's (Just Shut Uppers) guess that?! Because you are all One Fine Fans! Horrible grammar aside, join D'Gang as we discuss RR giving off strong George Clooney vibes (or is it George Clooney giving off strong RR vibes?), Carla's laser disc collection, and if people can actually fall in love after One Fine Day. So let's start the year off right JSU's by listening to One Fine Episode!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Just Shut Uppers! Another year of Just Shut Upping has passed, and we would like to thank each and every one of you personally for supporting our podcast! So thanks Ramil Santiago, Tek Olaño, and there! All done! And as a Christmas gift to all of you, we will be giving you… a Christmas and New Year's podcast episode! The 1989 iconic romcom When Harry Met Sally…! Celebrate Jesus' birthday as D' Just Shut Up Gang discusses VHS tapes and whether this movie invented "the romcom speech", and also debates (for way too long) what was going through Harry's mind after having sex with Sally. So before 2022 ends, we would like all you Just Shut Uppers to fake your orgasms with us as we ask the age old question: can three attractive males and one attractive female do a podcast together without the sex part getting in the way? (Spoiler alert: YES THEY CAN!)
Hello Just Shuppers! You guys are in for a treat! Or should I say… a trick or treat! Coz it's our first ever Halloween episode! We looked far and wide for a horror film to talk about and came across the 2013 film Warm Bodies! But it's only horror for those who are afraid of love and commitment. For us Just Shut Uppers, it gets us kilig to the rotting flesh! Listen as D'Gang fights over their favorite kilig moments, GP shares some surprisingly deep analysis of the main characters, and we debate who among the four of us would be the first to die in a zombie apocalypse (SPOILER ALERT: Carla won with four votes). So drop all your candy and press that play button! P.S. Happy birthday, Carla! (but belated when you hear this)
“Sushi Toyota Pokemon!” That's Japanese for “Just Shut Uppers, please don't cancel me for being racist!” And it's also Japanese for “we have our first anime episode!” It's the 2016 box office smash hit Your Name.! Listen as D'Gang debates whether subtitles or dubbing is better, discusses RR's kilig over “dede”, and addresses Carla's fear of “birds”. Now put down those chopsticks, turn on your Sony Walkman, and listen to the latest episode of the pinakanakakakilig podcast on the planet! Arigato in advance, Just Shut Uppers! Hai!
Do you know what time of the day it is? It's Twilight! Just Shut Uppers and Twihards unite!

Yo Just Shut Uppers! D'Gang is back to inject another dose of your favorite drug into your system: kilig! But before we introduce the movie, first we want to set it up. Oops. Too late. That's the movie. Set It Up, the 2018 Netflix romantic comedy! Can guys pull off salmon-colored shorts? How many salamanders should you focus on? If you don't approve of a person your friend is dating, should you tell your friend? To find out, just shut up and listen to the podcast, Just Shut Uppers! (Spoiler alert to the last question: Carla did!)
Six episodes in and we have another treat for you Just Shut Uppers! A bunch of firsts for the podcast! Our very first foreign film! And by foreign we mean non-American, non-Canadian, non-British, basically non-English, non-Tagalog, subtitled film. The 2001, Dan Villegas-recommended South Korean hit, My Sassy Girl! Join D'Gang as they discuss grand gestures as professions of love, obsolete e-mail addresses, and whether beautiful, violent women are worth loving (spoiler alert: it depends). Anyeonghaseyo! Saranghae! Bibimbap!
Welcome back for part 2 of our “Always Be My Maybe (Tagalog Version)” episode! Dan Villegas is back again (or still here depending on how you look at it) to give us more anecdotes and behind the scenes stories on the making of the movie. We answer only the hard-hitting questions like: Have you ever purposely “mistexted” someone who was ignoring you? If your ex texts you asking to meet up, would you tell your current boyfriend/girlfriend? How far would you go to win a stuffed animal for your lover at a fair? And finally, Dan tells us why he is greatly indebted to RR. Spoiler alert: it doesn't involve covering up a murder or sex scandal. So what are you waiting for?! Just shut up and listen now!
In episode 4, we tackle our very first Filipino rom-com, Always Be My Maybe. And we have our very first guest ever: the director of Always Be My Maybe, Direk Dan Villegas! He regales D'gang with behind the scenes tidbits like shifting from a drama to a rom-com literally at the last minute, and shooting without a script. He also tells us his favorite movie genre and his dream to make this type of movie. And we try to answer the age-old question, "Is doggy-style sex a good representation of true love?" If this tickles your fancy, you have serious problems! But so do we! So tune in now!
The Shut Up Gang is back with the 90's teen classic She's All That! Join them as they discuss the not-so-believable “ugliness” of Rachael Leigh Cook, the effect of the iconic song “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer in the movie, and whether eyeglasses had more of an effect on the appearance of Laney Boggs or Clark Kent. And as always, their favorite kilig scenes. So stop what you're doing and “Just Shut Up” now!
Here in Episode 2, Carla, RR, and Rene visit 1945 Napa Valley to take "A Walk In The Clouds" (while GP stupidly visits North Carolina to take "A Walk To Remember"). Listen as we tackle important questions like: Would you willingly pretend to be married to Aitana Sanchez-Gijon (spoiler alert: a unanimous yes)? Would you choose Keanu Reeves as a fake husband (spoiler alert: a unanimous yes). Would you have sex on a bed with white sheets while you are drenched in grape juice, or simply walk out? Is selling chocolate a viable occupation for a family of three? And an added bonus! Scene reenactment with Rene doing his best Keanu Reeves impersonation and Carla doing her best Carla Eufemio impersonation! And of course, our favorite kilig moments! Listen now!
Welcome to the “Just Shut Up! You Had Me At Hello!” Podcast, where three extremely masculine boys and one somewhat feminine girl discuss their favorite nakakakilig movies! Join us for our first episode as we discuss the 1999 kilig classic, Notting Hill! Would you fall for a bloke like William Thacker? Could you live with a roommate like Spike? If someone spilled orange juice on your white shirt, would you get kilig? Which international celebrity would you like to “Notting Hill” (randomly meet somewhere in your neighborhood and fall in love with)? Listen to the podcast and find out! *spoiler alert: the correct answer to the last question is Jisoo of Blackpink
