Hello everyone, and welcome to a special episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

Three years ago, we lost an icon, a Ranger, and a good friend. This episode is especially meaningful because it features the very first time I ever hung out with Jason. Back in 2017, he was so generous with his time and energy, and he gave me this interview that I’ve always treasured.

So for those who haven’t seen it yet, and for those who want to remember him with us, here’s a throwback.

Fangirls and fanboys… my friend, Jason David Frank

Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to Once and Always a Fanboy. Today’s guest is more than a childhood hero — he’s someone I’ve had the honor of creating with. We’ve filmed fan projects together, traveled across the world for conventions in places like Jakarta, Manila, and Los Angeles, and I’ve seen firsthand how much heart he brings to his fans. The original Black Ranger, actor, martial artist, dancer, and now music artist — Fangirls and fanboys, Walter Jones aka Tre Emanuel!

Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. 

When she was first announced as the new Yellow Ranger for Power Rangers Beast Morphers at Power Morphicon, I actually ran into her by total coincidence because we were staying on the same floor at the hotel! And just a few days later, I got to interview her for the first time for my channel.

Then fast forward a bit — during Beast Morphers season two, Hasbro reached out and I got to chat with her again, this time alongside her castmates. And now, here we are — interview number three — but this time, it’s not about morphing or monsters. It’s about a brand-new chapter in her life.

She’s gone from actress and superhero to author — with her new journaling book Coming Home Journal, which helps people reconnect with themselves in the most personal and mindful way.

So let’s catch up and talk about everything that’s happened since the Grid Battleforce days — Fangirls and fanboys, Jacqueline Scislowski!

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!

You know, when I first saw this band on my feed, I was struck by how different they sounded from a lot of Gen Z bands out there. What really hooked me was the dynamic between their voices — that unique blend of male and female tones that just clicks.

It took a while for our schedules to finally line up, but it did. So now, me and everyone here at The Pod Network are so thrilled to have them with us today.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force.

Today we’re joined by a voice that’s been powerfully turning heads around the world. Born in Norway, she blends Nordic cool with Manila warmth, crafting songs that feel like late-night confessions wrapped in soulful pop and R&B. She’s fresh off a sold-out show in New York, about to light up the stage here in Manila, and her new single I’m Still is already earning praise for its calm-but-fearless vibe. Please welcome an artist who proves that stillness can carry the same charge as a roaring crowd.

Fangirls and fanboys, HILLARI.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!

I got the amazing opportunity to talk to the two lead actors from one of my favorite Netflix shows: Nobody Wants This. Watching Season 1 when it first dropped really reminded me of how great writing and undeniable chemistry can make a show feel timeless. And having two actors who defined that golden era of TV show us they’ve still got it, now that was something truly special.

It was so special getting the chance to speak to these two for Season 2!

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. 

You know her voice the moment you hear it... gritty, emotional, and impossible to forget. She first wowed the country on Tawag ng Tanghalan and now she’s dropping her first full album, Lab Songs ng mga Tanga, a project that shows just how much she owns her sound. I’m excited to dig into the stories, the risks, and the writing sessions behind the music.

When I first watched KPop Demon Hunters, I didn’t expect to fall this hard. Not just for the music, but for how much heart this story had. So to get to talk to the people who brought that sound, spirit, and soul to life… feels really special.
