The Adobo Collection Podcast

A comeback episode after a very busy pre-holiday schedule for everyone. The group decided to end this series on movies and work on a holiday special for the next episode. This last installment focuses on thrillers, horrors, slashers, and supernatural. Mary, Marco and Glenn share their chosen movies/series that satisfied their revulsion of fear. Are their choices related to their innate fear? What made these movies/series special for them to consider it part of their list of most horrifying films they ever saw?

Movies serve as great escapes and fantasies for viewers, especially if the two people finally overcome their difficulties, declare their love, and experience life "happily ever after", implied by a reunion and final kiss. 

Marco, Paul, Steffie and Mary talk about their favorite drama, romantic, or love-filled movies of all time. Their choices might shock you but eventually, at the end of their conversation, you'll learn that the language of love is universal. 

Can a movie affect how a person perceives happiness? What makes a film funny? Are comedic films underrated? These are the questions that come to the collective's thoughts when they started this episode. This is the first installment of a three-part episode about movies and their impacts in human lives. 

The moving pictures have come a long way from silent gestures, odd and obscure to inspiring figures that shaped perceptions, feelings and ideas. The group decided to discuss movies/documentaries that framed their views about happiness. Steffie shared how she decided to live a zero-waste lifestyle because of watching "The True Cost." Marco strengthened his political views after witnessing the Gwangju massacre in "A Taxi Driver," and Mary was stirred up on how "Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap" can be a form of statement in a society where change is needed. These movies provided an implicit happiness to these three individuals despite the very diverse genre of each film.   Listen to this short conversation and you might pick up films that can change how you see things.

The group met on another weekend to discuss what timeline is for them; how do they deal with important decisions in life-the factors they consider; and what are the worst conditions that can fuel an individual to follow a certain path.  Remember that this collective never claimed to be experts in life but their goal is to share, help and somehow empathize to people who are/were in similar situations as theirs. They are The Adobo Collection Podcast. Listen to this week's flavor. Enjoy!

This is an unplanned episode. One Sunday evening, the spontaneity gasoline has filled the arteries of the collective on a supposed to be short meeting.   Driven by a simple question that piled-up to form this experience, all revolving within the context of fear, the group decided to record it and see where it goes.  The conversation took it's course through sharing of thoughts about having regrets on their deathbeds, committing to life choices, dodging the expectations of other people and finding how to deal with the never-ending uncertainty of the future.  Let's hear how these individuals worked to conquer the life timbre of  their fears. 

This is the pilot episode of The Adobo Collection Podcast. The collective welcomes you, sets your expectations and gives you a taste of their adobo. Get to know the speakers and be enlightened of the things to look out for in the future episodes.  Listen to Steffie, Marco, Mary, Glenn and Paul. Be part of this collection.
