DCT Season 2 Episode 8: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), or Ned's Lola Likes Taong-Gagamba

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 8, discussing Spider-Man: No Way Home. Hindi namin inakala na makakakita kami ng isang mahabang dialogue exchange in Filipino sa isang major Hollywood movie. Nagustuhan din namin na the use of all three actors who played Spider-Man on the big screen ay na-pull off nang maayos, and hindi naging gimik lang para kumita ng pera. Also, bakit nga ba kami nalungkot sa nangyari kay Aunt May?

Knight Shyamalan, at kung gaano ka-fanboy si Sting Lacson ni Shyamalan despite The Last Airbender; at 3) Belfast (2021) ni Kenneth Branagh, at kung paano na-kwento ang isang mabigat na theme sa magaan na paraan.

DCT Season 2 Episode 4: Encanto (2021), or Why We Need an Asian Lin-Manuel Miranda

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 4, discussing Disney's Encanto. Gaano kagaling ba si Lin-Manuel Miranda? Magaling, apprarently, lalo na sa pag-rhyme. At kung ang Frozen ay walang leading man, ang Encanto naman ay walang villain o antagonist. Also, bakit sobrang inis si Abuela kay Mirabel, e pareho lang naman silang walang gift?

And yes, magaling sina Jonathan Groff at Neil Patrick Harris, pero nasaan si Laurence Fishburne? May shinare din si Sting about how much the Matrix means to him, especially noong unang lumabas ito.
