Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 15, discussing Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun. Dapat ba itong panoorin sa IMAX? Oo sana, kung may budget. Para makita niyo ang ganda ni Jennifer Connelly and her gracefully-aging face at ang medyo lolo muscles ni Tom Cruise. Pakinggan din kung bakit tingin namin isa itong magandang sequel, kahit na 36 years ang pagitan nito sa unang pelikula.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 14, discussing the second film in the Doctor Strange franchise, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Bakit nga ba tawang-tawa si Rachel sa naaagnas na zombie Doctor Strange, kahit napaka-seryoso ng scene? Pinag-usapan din namin ang galing ni Elizabeth Olsen, at kung gaano kaganda ang mukha niya sa big screen. Also, wala palang katotohanan ang mga balita na lalabas daw dito si Wolverine. Isang malaking kalokohan po iyon.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 13, discussing Uncharted, the first feature from PlayStation Productions. Para sa amin, isa ito sa better films adapted from a video game. Nabanggit din namin na as fans and actual players of the video game franchise, medyo nakakapanibago sa una na walang bigote ang Sully ni Mark Wahlberg, pero eventually he becomes the character din. And finally, pinag-usapan namin ang Philippine references, mula kay Magellan at Lapu-lapu hanggang sa Kiamba, Sarangani, na birthplace pala ni Jinky Pacquiao.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 12, discussing Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Pinag-usapan namin kung ano ba talaga ang franchise arc nito. Also, phoenix nga ba ang spirit animal ng Dumbledore family? Sana all. And finally, bakit ba kapag nagpalit ng actor, hindi nila tinutuloy ang itsura nito? Kasi dapat puti rin sana ang buhok ni Mads Mikkelsen. Oh well.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 11, discussing The Batman. Nagustuhan namin ang realistic tone na ginamit ni Matt Reeves, pero darker and grittier than Christopher Nolan's take sa kanyang Dark Knight trilogy. Ang galing din ng backstory ni Catwoman, na nagbigay ng mas malalim na depth sa character niya. Excited na rin kami sa sariling series ni Colin Farrell as the Penguin.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 10, a.k.a. The Rundown 04. At ang three short reviews namin sa episode na ito ay: 1) The Power of the Dog (2021) ni Jane Campion, at bakit na-disappoint si Sting Lacson na hindi ito masyadong katulad ng Red Dead Redemption; 2) Drive My Car (2021) ni Ryusuke Hamaguchi, and kung bakit mahalaga kay Rachel ang smooth driving; at 3) Turning Red (2022) ni Domee Shi, at kung bakit dapat alam ng mga tatay ang tunkgol sa pagkakaroon ng period.

The Power of the Dog: 8.1/10

Turning Red: 7.85/10

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?

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 6, discussing Peter Jackson's documentary The Beatles: Get Back. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, may mapait na nakaraan ang Beatles at Pilipinas (specifically Manila). We talk about how awesome the songwriting process of the Beatles is, and how great it is to be just a fly on the wall as they create their magic. Magshe-share din kami ng stories about how the Beatles were part of our lives. At pakinggan niyo rin kung paano mag-Liverpudlian accent si Sting Lacson.
