Please Pause

SPOILER-FREE in case you forgot how this works. We've been gone for weeks but we're back. Apologies muna because we have so much to catch up on, ang haba tuloy. Ang dami kasing kwento, pwede namang wala! But that wouldn't be Please Pause, would it? And here we are. So Thunderbolts* is finally out. Directed by Jake Schreier, this latest Marvel film has got everyone excited as we enter MCU's next phase. But is it just another cog in Marvel's superhero machine? Or is the buzz actually worth it? Pag-usapan natin! Hindi lang 'yan, we have another blockbuster on the docket—Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's Sinners! To say that this is just a vampire movie doesn't really do it justice. If you haven't seen it yet, let us tell you all about it! Then dagdag mo pa sa episode na 'to yung The Accountant 2 with Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. Was there a lot of math? Was it at least fun? Listen in and join the conversation! On top of that, we have the latest season of Black Mirror and Daredevil: Born Again plus some other stuff, useless or otherwise. Yes, we're still a podcast!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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.Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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.Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE is our SOP. We're keeping it relaxed for this episode... ALLEGEDLY. We only have three things on the agenda. First would be the Shondaland mystery-comedy series, The Residence. It's another one of those quirky detective series but this time, Uzo Udoba's Cordelia Cupp is taking on a murder at the White House. So how does it compare as far as whodunnits go? Pag-usapan natin! After that, we get into the number one series on Netflix right now, When Life Gives You Tangerines! IU and Park Bo-gum deliver the feels in this K-drama spanning decades and this would be our K-drama halftime report! Finally, we also have the very controversial Disney live-action remake of Snow White. Is there anyone that this movie offended? Is being offended by the movie without seeing it yet even FAIR to the movie? Lot's of serious stuff to discuss. Of course we messed it up!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

Yes, still SPOILER-FREE! Another Monday, another episode from yours truly that we oh so enthusiastically recorded. So without further ado, the MaThon movie is upon us! Syempre pinag-usapan namin ang number one movie on Netflix, ang Sosyal Climbers with Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings! Did one of the most talked about (in a good way and in a bad way) love teams in recent memory deliver? Listen in as we try and sort out our feelings about this Jason Paul Laxamana film. Mike also tells Ham about Osgood Perkins' latest movie, The Monkey! And this time, the horror director delves into some comedy with a cursed toy monkey because why not? Then Ham shares about the critically acclaimed and now Oscar winning Brazilian film, I'm Still Here. set during a brutal period in Brazil's history, this one sounds really depressing but listen in as Ham tells us if it was all worth it! Also in this episode, we have updates on High Potential and Paradise. Ham catches up on Black Doves. Mike also gives his final word on Cobra Kai. There's also Kate Hudson's new basketball series, Running Point.

We hope you all had a SPOILER-FREE Valentine's like this episode! It's the first time in a long time since we released episodes in consecutive weeks. So hooray for us! We just had to catch up with each other with everything that's going on in this brave new world that we're living in. First, Mike tells Ham about the Marvin and Jolina reunion movie, Ex Ex Lovers. Were JP Habac and Tonette Jadaone able to bring back that 90s love team magic for the titos and titas of today? Listen in and find out! Pagkatapos noon, it's Ham's turn to tell Mike about Bob Dylan's biopic, A Complete Unkown. Timothée Chalamet's at it again with an acclaimed performance but paano naman yung mga "Bob Dylan who?" sa audience (raises hand)? Ham's got it covered. After that, we talk about the highly anticipated new entry to the MCU, Captain America: Brave New World! Did Sam Wilson fly? Or did Anthony Mackie flop? Was Harrison Ford a smash? Pag-usapan natin! Also in this episode, Newtopia starring BLACKPINK Jisoo and Tamang Panahon, the Alex Calleja comedy special. It's a brave new world!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE tayo as always. In this episode, we play some "wala ka sa napanood ko" as Mike starts with Marius Talampas and Sherwin Buenvenida's Sampung Utos Kay Josh. Religious jokes? Bastos jokes? Sabaw jokes? All in good fun! Tinapatan naman 'yan ni Ham ng The Brutalist with all its accolades, seriousness, and 3 1/2 hours of it. Three. And. A. Half. Ikukwento 'yan lahat ni Ham. And there's more! We also got into some series we're currently watching on Disney Plus. Una na dyan ang Paradise with Secret Service agent, Sterling K. Brown. And nandyan din ang pinakabagong chart topping detective series na High Potential. Then also in this episode, the number one movie in Japan, Cells at Work, and the pride of Thailand's animation industry, Out of the Nest. We also have a follow up on awards season suki, Emilia Perez... for better or worse.Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE, of course! Except for the teleserye parts of the conversation because there is no such thing as spoilers when it comes to teleseryes. We probably spent too much time catching up in the first part of this episode so please bear with us. In case you didn't know, we're doing some long distance podcasting frome here on out. We also have to apologize for the audio issues. Honestly, we still couldn't figure out the problem so... Whatever. Ham tells us about movies she had seen from her part of the world starting with the critically acclaimed film written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, A Real Pain. Napanood na rin niya ang musical comedy na Emila Perez kasi available siya sa British Netflix niya so she tells us all about that. On the Philippine side of things naman, Mike has finally seen The Substance with Demi Moore—well, seen most of it except for the parts involving needles. We also talk about the latest Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew na hindi pa pala natatapos ng isa sa'min so there's that. But speaking of crews, syempre hindi namin pwedeng palagpasin ang pinakabagong teleserye ng ABS-CBN, ang Incognito!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin! Please Pause is entering a new chapter... And it's not as exciting as it sounds. The podcast isn't dead though so hooray! We're coming from our December vacation so we'll tell you about some of our misadventures from that. And since wala kami nung MMFF, we had to catch up on the festival. We were able to watch And the Breadwinner Is..., Vice Ganda's MMFF comeback project directed by Jun Lana. Is it a Vice Ganda movie or is it a Jun Lana film? Pag-usapan natin. Mike was also able to catch Green Bones and Uninvited, two of the most hyped films from this year's line up of entries. Other than that, we were also able to watch some films while on vacation. Isa na dyan ang critically-acclaimed film ni Sean Baker na Anora, where Mikey Madison plays the titular stripper/sex worker/firecracker. Hindi lang 'yan, napanood na rin namin ang isa sa mga most anticipated horror movies in recent memory, Nosferatu! At hindi pa tapos! Also in this episode, Squid Game 2, Perfect Days, and Late Night with the Devil.Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE as always! It's our Christmas-year-ender-despedida all-in-one episode! We're going on vacation but only one of us is coming back—dun-dun-dunnn! Listen in and find out if this is the end of Please Pause as we know it! But other than that, meron lang kaming mga pahabol bago matapos ang 2024. Katulad na lang ng Mufasa: The Lion King which just came out just before MMFF season. We were also able to catch Gladiator 2. Napag-usapan rin ang number one movie on Netflix right now na Carry- On. Napanood na nga rin pala namin ang Maple Leaf Dreams with Kira Balinger and LA Santos. We also have a bunch of series like Black Doves and Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2. Other than that, what can we say, it was fun while it lasted! Happy Christmas!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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 Firnnes. 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!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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.

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!

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.

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!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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.Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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!Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast!Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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? Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about the podcast! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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.

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

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. Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

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! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin syempre! We're really excited to present this episode to you because we're extremely proud of how it turned out—for all the right (and wrong) reasons! Una nang pinag-usapan ang latest movie ni Millie Bobby Brown na Damsel. Of course, it's a Netflix chart topper but was it worth the watch? Pagkatapos, kukuwentuhan tayo ni Ham about the premiere night of Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Barbie Imperial's 3 Days 2 Nights in Poblacion! If it wasn't obvious in this episode, we'll say it here as well—as bonafide taumbahays and anti-socialists (not anti socialists, anti-social-ists), wala kaming alam sa Pobla! And speaking of walang alam, si Mike din magkukuwento tungkol sa mga natutunan niya nang mapanood niya ang Bob Marley: One Love. Unfortunately, malamang wala kayong matututunang maganda in the resulting conversation. Then last but not the least, we called in aspiring stand-up comedians, Earl and Adrian, from Semi Safe Space, the Podcast to talk about Netflix's first ever, Filipino stand up comedy special, Red Ollero: Mabuhay is a Lie!

SPOILER-FREE as usual! We recorded this episode before the Oscars but now we know na ang unang pinag-usapan namin ay nanalo ng Best Adapted Screenplay! We talk about Cord Jefferson's American Fiction! If you haven't seen this film yet, let's just say we highly recommend it, lalo na kung may Prime Video kayo. And then, napanood na nga rin pala namin ang Shake, Rattle, and Roll Extreme kasi nasa Netflix na siya. We've heard good things about the latest movie in this long-running franchise. Pag-usapan natin dito! And since nasa horror na lang din tayo, meron din kami ditong isa pang Netflix chart topper, Thanksgiving! We really didn't expect too much from this movie but did we get more than we bargained for? Also in this episode, My Name is Loh Kiwan Song Joong-ki and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom with Jason Momoa. Then last but not the least, we have the latest series people are raving about, Shogun! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, and Letterboxd @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

As SPOILER-FREE as a sandworm's underside. How many times do people need to hear that Dune: Part Two is really good? One more can't hurt, right? Just wait 'til you hear this episode! Hindi lang 'yan, we also have more in store. Katulad na lang ng entry natin sa Oscars, Carl Joseph Papa's Iti Mapukpukaw. Finally, this animated feature is now on Netflix for those of us na hindi nakapanood nito sa Cinemalaya. We also got into the critically acclaimed film by director Alexander Payne, The Holdovers. We don't know if it's going to win sa Oscars but this one's as good as a Christmas movie gets. We're also concluding some series na natapos namin like Marry My Husband, Expats, and True Detective: Night Country. Tapos meron pa tayong Avatar: The Last Airbender! Phew!

Okay, we're back and we'e still SPOILER-FREE! Ang dami na namang sinasabi this week as we start with something big! Pag-usapan natin ang "big" comeback ni Enrique Gil na I Am Not Big Bird! Directed by Victor Villanueva, this movie promised us something na hindi pa natin nakikita before from its star. Was it able to deliver? Join us and let's talk about the huge expectations from this sex comedy. Pagkatapos nun, dun naman tayo sa medyo seryoso kasi lumabas na sa Netflix ang As If It's True, starring Ashley Ortega and Khalil Ramos. Then napanood nga din pala namin yung Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba–To the Hashira Training in Imax. Full disclosure—wala kaming alam sa anime na 'to! So we called in our podcast friend Marga to help us out. Last but definitely the least, we said we were not too excited to watch it, but we still did. We get into Sony's mess that is Madame Web. Is it as bad as people say it is? Well, pag-usapan natin! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

This episode is dedicated to all the non-believers! SPOILER-FREE pa rin syempre. We're going to start with the Yorgos Lanthimos' widely acclaimed film, Poor Things! It's finally getting a wide release in Philippine cinemas and Emma Stone will finally get the... Exposure. We've seen it and we'll give you a lot of reasons to watch it. Pero matatawag nga ba 'tong masterpiece? Pag-usapan natin! Napanood na rin nga pala namin ang Hollywood debut ni Liza Soberano, ang Lisa Frankenstein! Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody, this teen comedy horror take on Frankenstein has the potential to be a cult classic. But did Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse successfully get this to rise from its grave? Listen in and join the conversation! Hindi lang 'yan, nasa episode din na 'to ang kakalabas lang na movie ni Brillante Mendoza sa Netflix na Apag. Plus Alexander: The Making of a God, American Nightmare, and All About Chu. Ang dami-daming sinasabi! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin syempre! Tamang kuwentuhan lang! We're going to talk about two on-going series that got us eagerly waiting week after week. Una na diyan ang Hong Kong drama ni Lulu Wang na Expats. Starrring Nicole Kidman and our very own, Ruby Ruiz, this mini-series has not been free of controversy. But as a Prime Video show, worth it ba siyang panoorin? Or is it just a bunch of rich people crying about rich people problems? Pag-usapan natin! Samahan mo pa ng some walang kwentang parenting advice from non-parents. At pagkatapos noon, lipat naman kami sa HBO as we get into the latest season of True Detective, ang Night Country! We talk about Jodie Foster and Kali Reis doing some detective work in icy Alaska under the polar night in what might be the most this franchise has leaned into horror. Meanwhile, Mike does some true detective work himself as he investigates suspicious Rotten Tomatoes reviews. Then last but not the least, we watched Matthew Vaughn's latest and probably biggest movie yet, Argylle! Bryce Dallas Howard led a star-studded cast in this twisty and turn-y spy comedy. But talaga nga bang the greater the spy, the bigger the lie? Tapos meron pang Taylor Swift theories! Also in this episode, nagbabalik ang aming segment where we decide if upcoming movies are worth investing in, ang MIF—Maharlika Investment Film! And paalala lang, no to child abuse!

SPOILER-FREE so you can listen WORRY-FREE! We're announcing the winner of our New Year's Raffle! In this roller coaster ride of an episode, we talk about the latest K-drama we can't get enough of, Marry My Husband! Starring Park Min-young and Na In-woo, it's an interesting take on traveling back and time and getting a chance to change your life—which you would probably want to do too if you have an evil husband and best friend. Napanood din namin sa Netflix ang isa na namang movie nang VIVA Films, ang Instant Daddy! Directed by Crisanto Aquino and starring Jerald Napoles and Althea Ruedas, this remake of a Mexican film will try to tug on your heartstrings and bring you to tears. Was it able to do that to us? Pag-usapan natin. Na-bring up din pala sa episode na 'to ang latest feature film ni Emerald Fennell, ang Saltburn. Tapos pinanood nga din pala namin ang movie ni Donny Pangilinan na GG! Directed by Prime Cruz, ito daw ang first e-sports movie of the Philippines. Worth it bang panoorin 'to kahit na hindi ka gamer? Kahit wala si Belle? Listen and let's talk about it. G? G!

SPOILER-FREE na kuwentuhan lang! Tayo-tayo lang naman diba? Ang hirap mag-usap about stuff na wala kaming alam about but that never stopped us before so why stop now? Despite going off-topic on beauty pageants, traffic, and celebrity chismis, we did get to a bunch of movies and series in this episode. Habol pa more sa MMFF with our third one this season, Mallari! Boasting a cast of three Piolo Pascuals, this Derick Cabrido-helmed horror film had a lot going for it. As in a lot. But nasiyahan ba kami sa mga paglalakbay ni Piolo spanning hundreds of years? Pag-usapan natin! And tamang-tama nga naman kasi kakalabas lang din ng isa pang movie ni Direk Derick Cabrido sa Netflix, ang Wish You Were the One! We have heard a lot of good things about this when it was first released in the cinemas. So maybe we went in with a lot of expectations from this JC Santos and Bela Padilla movie? Pinag-usapan din namin yan! Hindi lang yan, natapos na namin ang Marvel Spotlight Series na Echo starring Alaqua Cox. Kelangan ba natin talaga 'tong series na 'to? Well, Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin was here. But speaking of Vincent D'Onofrio, we also have the newest Netflix blockbuster (whatever that means when it comes to streaming), ang Lift! Nandito si Kevin Hart, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and si Ursula Corbero at nang-heist sila—because what else would Tokyo do? That and more in this episode!

SPOILER-FREE so you can listen WORRY-FREE! Eh 'di eto na nga, nakahabol kami sa MMFF! And we started with this year's Best Picture, Firefly. Directed by Zig Dulay, this heartwarming and fantasy film starring Best Child Performer Euwenn Mikael Aleta promised some tears, so let's see if it delivered. And meron pa kaming napanood na isa, 'yong 2nd Best Picture naman na Gomburza! Directed by Pepe Diokno, this historical film is as educational as it gets but was it as good as a cinematic experience? Pag-usapan natin 'yan in this episode. Kasama na din ang Season 2 ng What If...? where we ponder the question if the branched timelines follow the Watcher is watching are really worth the watch. Tapos meron din tayo ditong Gyeongseong Creature, ang pinakabagong hit Netflix K-monster series with Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee.

We're back and we're SPOILER-FREE! Kuwentuhan lang! Sa tagal naming nawala, we have so much to catch up on like what is said to be the best MMFF in recent memory—at wala pa kaming napapanood kahit isa! So uunahin na lang namin 'yong mga nahabol namin while recovering from the most tiring vacation of our entire lives. We saw David Ayer's The Beekeeper starring Jason Statham. Showing na 'yan in cinemas on January 10. We were also able to watch Zack Snyder's much-hyped (not according to Ham) space epic, Rebel Moon. Napanood namin sa flight ang sex comedy ni Jennifer Lawrence na No Hard Feelings na nasa Netflix na din dapat ngayon. Tapos sa isang flight naman, napanood namin finally ang Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. And there's more! Pinag-usapan din ang Money Heist prequel spin-off na Berlin, na syempre tungkol kay Berlin A.K.A. Andres de Fonollosa A.K.A. the character who died in the first season of Money Heist but hanggang ngayon napapanood pa rin natin siya. Meron din ditong usapan about the live adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho! And to top it all off, we have Elizabeth Banks' rampaging, cocaine-addicted bear in Cocaine Bear!

SPOILER-FREE as usual! We managed to squeeze in a recording right before we go on vacation and here we are! Let's start with Timothee Chalamet in the chocolate musical, Wonka! Was this one of our much anticipated movies? Not really but somehow it felt like we should watch it. Tapos pinag-usapan namin ang Prime Video series ni President Nadine Lustre na Roadkillers! Written and directed by Rae Red, this action thriller from Prime Video has Nadine tackling COVID, crime, politics, and dead bodies—sold? After that we get into—or more accurately, get back into—Doctor Who! We have three new specials from Russell T. Davies featuring the return of David Tennant as The Doctor, hindi pwedeng hindi namin pag-usapan 'to! But that's not all! We also have Kidnap for Romance, Quiz Lady, and Leave the World Behind. And oh yeah, KathNiel breakup nga pala. That was a thing. Sali kami! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

Another week, another SPOILER-FREE episode! Best effort! To start off, we talk about the latest Disney movie, Wish. Full disclosure though, hindi namin siya napanood. But we're talking about it nonetheless as only Please Pause can. Then we get into the first bonafide Netflix original Filipino series from Project 8 Projects starring Alessandra de Rossi, Piolo Pascual, and Sam Milby, Replacing Chef Chico! Ham was able to go to the premiere screening of this Antoinette Jadaone and Dan Villegas creation so she'll tell us all about that. We've already seen all episodes so pinag-usapan rin namin yan! After that, pinag-usapan din ang latest horror movie from Viva Films and Studio Viva na Marita! We got into how Louise delos Reyes and Rhen Escano delivered the scares from this on-screen adaptation of an urban legend. We were able to see it during its premiere night against Ham's wishes so meron kaming mga kwento about that. Also in this episode, we have another two Netflix chart toppers, Squid Game: The Challenge and Leo. Listen in and join the conversation! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE as usual from the best TV and film podcast in the Philippines—according to us. Because we're delusional. And on this episode, we'd like to tell you all about The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes! We know what you're going to say, we said we weren't that interested, but hear us out! Maybe we'll get some of you to let Tom Blythe and Rachel Zegler take you back to good old Panem. Or not! From the cinema to Netflix, we also get into David Fincher's latest film, The Killer, where Michael Fassbender plays the role of, uh, a killer. Tapos lipat naman tayo sa Prime Video kasi kakatapos lang ng Linlang! We really enjoyed this series when it first out so balikan natin ngayon if it was able to end as it started. Then Prime Video pa rin, Invincible is back for its second season! Sophomore slump or comeback of the year? Pag-usapan natin! Plus a new edition of Pilipinas on Pause. That and more in this episode!

SPOILER-FREE so you can listen WORRY-FREE! On this week's episode, we're offering an apology, a bunch of shout outs, and some call outs--all interwoven among a web of tangents, as only Please Pause can do! First off, we went to the special screening of Trolls Band Together and apparently, a great way to make yourself realize that you're not a kid anymore is to watch a movie for little kids, with little kids! Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake is at it again in this sequel but did they hit the right notes? Listen in and join us as we troll through this jukebox musical comedy! Tapos syempre, hindi pwedeng hindi namin pag-usapan ang kakatapos lang na Season 2 ng Loki! It has been dubbed as the culmination of Tom Hiddleston's 14-year MCU journey but were they able to land it properly? Did the seeds they planted in Season One able to grow fruitful branches? Are we finally getting somewhere with the multiverse? As you all know, mischief is our middle name so san ka pa? Lastly, we watched the not-so-much anticipated Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels. Is anybody at all excited about this movie? Can the MCU finally get back on track? Ano na Kevin Feige? Do they finally have a hit from their recent releases? Or is it another X on their list? That and more in this episode! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE meaningful and meaningless conversations about the stuff we watched! And boy did we lean into the meaningless this week! Right off the bat, we just want to let you know na mukhang wala kayong matitinong mapapala from us sa episode na 'to. Simulan natin with Direk Rod Marmol's The Cheating Game. Starring Julie Anne San Jose and Rayver Cruz in their first movie together? Nabasa lang namin. Guess that makes this a big deal? Listen in as we try to figure this movie out while making a big deal out of things na hindi naman talaga big deal. Tapos we return to the (after) world of Kalagitnaan in the newest Filipino series on Prime Video, Simula sa Gitna. Directed by Antoinette Jadaone, let's find out if it's as charming as the film it was based on, Hintayan ng Langit. And then last but not the least, we get into Mike Flannagan's obligatory Halloween horror series on Netflix, The Fall of the House of Usher. Can't believe that the holidays just came and went. Kelan ba susunod na bakasyon? Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE as usual! Two new movies are enough para sa episode na 'to! First up, napanood na namin sa wakas ang Cinemalaya audience favorite na Rookie because it just came out on Prime Video. Directed by Samantha Lee, written by Natts Jadaone, and starring Pat Tingjuy and Aya Fernandez, we probably had too much fun watching and talking about this queer romance na ang lakas maka-high school vibes. And then there's the much anticipated movie kung saan nagtambal si Julia Montes and si Alden Richards, ang Five Breakups and a Romance! With this newest Irene Villamor film, do we finally have a new favorite from her filmography? Well, we're willing to say straight up na kung hindi niyo pa napapanood, we think you should. Listen in and join the chaotic conversation! We also have a clip here from our guesting on Bits N Pieces: Ginagmay ug Dinagko hosted by Yvonne! We talked to her about the 2006 psychological thriller, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. By the way, this part isn't spoiler-free! But it's a 2006 movie so there you go.

SPOILER-FREE when it matters! They say consistency is key when it comes to podcasting kaya naman we're releasing episodes whenever we're releasing episodes! So let's put some searchable key words here in the episode description. We watched the Filipino folk horror film of Kenneth Dagatan, In My Mother's Skin. You can also watch it on Prime Video if you're interested to see Jasmine Curtis-Smith as an elaborately dressed fairy. We also watched some episodes of Can't Buy Me Love, the first full-fledged teleserye of DonBelle to the delight of the DonBellitas and DonBellitos out there. Ham went to the screening of the Korean cautionary thriller Target. Showing na yan in cinemas on October 18 so join us and listen in to hear Ham's take on the movie. And then Prime Video naman ulit, napanood din namin ang black comedy slasher movie na Totally Killer starring Kiernan Shipka. We know we already touched on this last episode but Linlang returns this week with a vengeance! Because of Kim Chiu, Maricel Soriano, and the other Linlangers, Thursdays are Linlang days until further notice. Also in this episode, Nowhere, Ballerina, and No One Will Save You. Ang dami ba? And yet we still weren't able to allot time for Elemental. Oh well, maybe next episode! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause! Thank you for supporting Please Pause!

SPOILER-FREE but you already know that so let's go! The era of Dolly de Leon is upon us so after ng A Very Good Girl last week, Keys to the Heart naman tayo ngayon. Starring Zanjoe Marudo, Elijah Canlas, and Dolly de Leon, this straight to Netflix Filipino remake of a Korean movie is designed to tug at your heartstrings. So did it? Listen in and let's talk about it! Pagkatapos nun, we get into a MAVX film na streaming na rin on Netflix ngayon, Ang Pangarap Kong Oskars! It's a film about filmmaking—but it's a horror comedy and it stars Paolo Contis. Is it as crazy as it sounds? Isa yan sa pinag-usapan namin! Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far, away, kakatapos lang ng Ahsoka! We know Star Wars fans don't need any convincing pero for the more casual viewers (sino nga ba si Ahsoka?), let's see if we can help you out. If that wasn't enough, kakatapos lang din ng Only Murders in the Building Season 3! They solved the murder, of course, but was it as satisfying as we expected? At hindi pa dyan nagtatapos! Loki Season 2 just premiered so syempre kailangan din naming pag-usapan yan. Oh and by the way, also in this episode, Reptile, Linlang, Once Upon a Crime, Love at First Sight, and The Devil's Plan! If you're wondering how we got everything to fit, well, that's Please Pause for you! Follow us on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok @pleasepauseph and tell someone about Please Pause!

We're back and we're SPOILER-FREE! We missed releasing an episode last week for reasons that we revealed in this episode—EXCLUSIVE!!! Well, you probably don't care about that so onto our watchlist last week! Unahin na natin ang A Very Good Girl that stars a very good actress in Dolly de Leon and a very good A-lister in Kathryn Bernardo. Was it worth the very good hype? Napanood niyo na or hindi, join us and let's talk about the latest Star Cinema offering! After that we got into some Iron Heart (na akala ni Mike natapos na pero two weeks pa pala), Uncanny Counter, and Devil's Plan. Napag-usapan na rin ang first three episodes ng The Boys spin-off na Gen V. Tapos napunta naman kami sa Saw X where John Kramer returns with his Jigsaw-ing ways. We saw it with Saw fans in the cinema and it was definitely a remarkable experience. Ano nga bang tawag sa fans ng Saw franchise? And then last but not the least, we talk about the Korean film Cobweb (Geomijip) starring Parasite's Song Kang-ho. Directed by Kim Jae-woon, this film within a film set in the 1970s will surely tickle any film buff's fancy. Pero even if you're not one, it's definitely worth the laughs. This episode also features the return of the Wish trailer, our hypothetical crowdfunding campaign, and inspirational authoritarian leaders. Huh?
