Pasensya na sa delay! After a very busy April for us all here at Third World Cinema Club, it's time we release the third of our WOMEN'S MONTH SPECIAL and without bias we present a film from friends of the pod, Dwein Baltazar but in this time, as seen through the eyes of our female guests Karen and Ica and Cess. As her pick for women's month, Cess has discussed the film with the gang before but in this episode she talks about how the women see what Aileen wants them to see as a fellow woman. Spoilers are definitely present in this episode. A few things to think about that are also present in this podcast: The name/word "Ai leen" has a different meaning in Japanese, as Ica says. Is the film how the female gaze should be made? Sino ba ang hindi na LSS sa Ikaw Pa Rin ni Ted Ito? These three definitely were in full LSS mode. Gusto Kita With All My Hypothalamus is directed by Dwein Baltazar, who has directed several other films such as Oda sa Wala, the series Marry Me, Marry You, and Hello, Stranger: The Movie. We love her so much we just wanted to introduce her to our newly founded girl friends. :) You can still watch the film via the FDCP Channel. You just need to sign up for a membership to gain full access to the film. P.S. This episode was recorded in the last few days of March pero sobrang busy talaga namin. Sorry!

Cess, Ica, and Karen are back for Part Two of our Women's Month Special featuring Karen Mae's pick: the ever-changing, ever-so-relevant, ever-so-important HARLEY QUINN in her appearances in film and in the media. The character first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series in September of 1992 (episode titled "Joker's Favor") as Mr. J's mischievous sidekick. Despite her actual name as Dr. Harleen Quinzell, she's mostly known in both the animated series and comics as Harley Quinn, donning a clown costume in red, black and white, and is usually sexualized or depicted as the Joker's love-struck assistant. Flashforward to 2016's Suicide Squad and we find her catapulted into fame, but with that fame comes realizations of how Harley Quinn can evolve into something more relatable than just being a one-dimensional character who can wear decently accessible clothes and still kick ass. Listen to the three talk about Harley Quinn *the character* in the awful Suicide Squad (2016),to how she fully evolves into the right persona in Birds of Prey (2020) and how she sustains her #MeToo-approved story-arch in The Suicide Squad (2021). This topic was chosen by Karen Mae and her love for the character as a 90s kid/tita who grew up loving the character. Spoilers are definitely present in this podcast. Especially a spill on how Harley Quinn has evolved in the comics too. We dedicate this episode to all women who are victims of abuse, to fight for their right to live, their will to live, and to find the courage to leave their abusers. Stay tuned again this coming week for the last part of our Women's month special wherein the three talk about Dwein Baltazar's Gusto Kita With All My Hypothalamus and Turning Red as Cess's pick.
