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

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

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the cast of Avatar: Fire and Ash in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Huge thanks to 20th Century Studios for the opportunity.

If you know me, you know that one of these actors was instrumental in shaping my love for movies—and of course, I’m talking about the icon herself, Sigourney Weaver.

Fangirls and fanboys, please welcome Sigourney Weaver, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, and Trinity Bliss of Avatar: Fire and Ash

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

Our guest today has quickly become one of the most exciting young actors to watch. In IT: Welcome to Derry, she brings so much heart, fear, courage, and emotion to her character that you’d think she’s been acting for decades.

As someone who loves the IT franchise, I’ve been really looking forward to having her on the show, and I cannot wait to hear her stories.

Fangirls and fanboys… Clara Stack!

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

I love talking and geeking out with Hollywood actors. That’s been a huge part of my journey. But musicians feel like home for me. There’s something about talking to them that taps right back into my fanboy DNA. And today’s guest? Her songs, from Action to Bida, reminded me just how powerful OPM storytelling still is.

She’s an artist who’s growing, evolving, and carving out her own lane one fearless release at a time. With her new single Babala on the way and a whole new spotlight in front of the camera with Project Loki, I can’t wait to dive into her stories.

Fangirls and fanboys, please welcome… Jayda!

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

Our next guest is the definition of grit and determination. She’s a powerhouse athlete who competed at the highest level on Physical: Asia, and fans have already dubbed her the ‘Clutch Queen’ for her moments of pure Pinay grit. Today, I’m so excited because I’ll get to hear her stores, from intense challenges on an international stage to the mindset that helped her push through it all. Fangirls and fanboys, Lara Liwanag.

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

Every now and then, you come across an artist whose music doesn’t just sound good, it feels real. Someone who doesn’t hide behind production or image, but turns every song into a window into where they are in life. That’s what I love about today’s guest. His sound bends genres, but the emotion always hits dead center.

We were actually supposed to do this interview over Zoom a few weeks back, but because the universe sometimes gives me a little pat on the back, I got lucky and we get to do this one face-to-face. Fangirls and fanboys, please welcome eaJ!

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.

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!
