Pinoys vs. the World

Welcome back to a new episode of Pinoys vs. the World! This week, we chatted about our experience at the Seattle World’s Vintage Fair hosted by Throwbacks Northwest (a Capitol Hill staple), updates on the 2024 Presidential Election and Democratic VP choice Tim Walz, and the Seattle Mariners trade deadline acquisitions.

We’re also elated to welcome back Harald’s former co-host, Jess Juanich, and returning guest and friend of the pod, Jared Garalde, to talk about our thoughts on Oz Perkins’ Longlegs. Staring Nic Cage and Maika Monroe, the horror/thriller film gave the Pinoy Movie Boys a lot to talk about! Thank you for listening!

Welcome to an emergency podcast from the Pinoy boys! Robert Downey Jr. was just introduced as the MCU's next Dr. Victor von Doom at Marvel Studios' SDCC Hall H panel in a shock reveal. At San Diego Comic Con, Marvel announced updates for Captain America: Brave New World, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the return of the Russo Brothers directing Avengers: Doomsday & Avengers: Secret Wars. Little did anyone know, they saved the best for last when a green suit-clad figure tore a Dr. Doom mask off their face to reveal that, indeed, RDJ would be playing the famous villain. What a scene. We're here to break it all down for you and provide our instant reactions!

Harald and Chris are back (for real this time)! The boys return to the podcasting airwaves to bring you their thoughts on The Pop Out concert by Kendrick Lamar - and all things surrounding the rap beef of the decade. Then, we dive in to one of our favorite shows, The Bear, and convey our thoughts on the newly released Season 3. Cousin, it’s good to be back and we hope you enjoy the show!

We are back! Pinoys vs. the World returns for their second season with a new co-host joining Harald on the pod: Chris Angkico! *Shortly* following Jess’ departure from the podcast, Chris and Harald talk about a whole lot that went down over the past year, our media consumption habits and what’s to come for this new version of Pinoys vs. the World.

We are so excited and grateful to be back with a new episode every third Wednesday of the month. Welcome back to the world of the pinoy boys and we can’t wait to show you what’s next!

Welcome to episode 5 of Pinoys vs. the World! Jess and Harald touch on current local/national news stories including Russell Wilson and Ciara opening a local school, Juneteenth becoming a nationally recognized holiday, and the return of Catfish Corner to the CD! Sports this week include the weekly Sounders/Mariners/Storm updates, Allyson Felix qualifying for her 5th Olympics, and our predictions for the 2021 NBA Playoffs.

Additionally, we are actively renovating the pod and finding new ways to bring you the best possible version of our collective vision.

For today’s interview, Jess and Harald spoke with fellow WSU alumni, Donavyn Velez-Fucal! They spoke with him about being born and raised in a college town, his experience in WSU student involvement, and wild stories from working on the field at Mariners games.

Thanks for listening!
