Pinoys vs. The World

Welcome back to the first pod of a double-release week for the Pinoy boys! Harald and Chris are excited to welcome back two close friends of the pod, Devon Holze and Jared Garalde, to chat about the Princess Mononoke 4K IMAX rerelease. Whether it was a chance to re-watch your favorite Ghibli film (like Jared) or you just got to watch it for the first time (like Chris), we hope you find something fun from our conversation about this all-time classic. It's certainly no secret here - we love this movie.

Also mentioned today: we take a minute to talk about the massive Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and our experiences with the original Nintendo Switch prior to its successor's launch in early-June. Plus, a short review of Oscar-award winning Tollywood blockbuster, RRR. Thank you again for listening!

It’s time for another pod! In today’s episode, the Pinoy boys welcome back a friend to all, Devon Holze, to chat about our thoughts on Bong Joon Ho’s newest film, Mickey 17 staring Robert Pattinson. No secret here, but we all love you, Robert.

We also had an opportunity to attend a screening of The First Slam Dunk (at Seattle International Film Festival’s Uptown Theater) and went over why it is in Harald’s Top 4 on Letterboxd. Truly an instant sports classic.

Other projects mentioned in today’s episode include Solo Leveling, Eraserhead, and an anti-review of The Gorge. Thank you for listening!
