Mainstream wrestling in the mid-2000s was in a weird place. WWE had only recently won a grueling ratings war that ended with them ruthlessly purchasing their competition. With their biggest stars either leaving or taking a backseat, WWE had to find a way to sustain their success coming into this new era. Enter Ruthless Aggression – an era characterized by highs and major lows in the industry. 

On the other side of the ocean, WWE was finding its way more and more to the small screens of the Philippines. A generation of kids (who should probably not have been watching this) were awestruck by larger than life characters and absurd soap opera style stories. If you ask these kids almost 20 years later what watching crazy ass stories (yes, you can win custody for someone's child in a ladder match) meant to them, you'll get this alcohol-fueled nostalgia trip of an episode of Unli-Pop! Listen as Leandro Ds and special guests Ace Jazmines & Jao Bernardo share stories of their wrestling consumption, analyze the era, and more!

It's 2021 and anime is at its most accessible, and dare we say even mainstream. The anime industry, however, has always been very successful. It's not unheard of for the biggest franchises to be looked at as a way to make even more money – enter live action remakes. Over the years, both Japanese and Western studios have recognized the potential of adapting anime into live action films. The results have been mixed – ranging from faithful adaptations (Stream Rurouni Kenshin on Netlflix!) to downright disrespectful (Don't Stream Death Note on Netflix!). With it being so much more mainstream, anime franchises continue to evolve. But the question is, is there space for live action remakes?

Listen as Leandro Ds, Vito Alip, Jai Aquino, and Danmig Agcaoili sit down and tackle anime as it is today, crap on whitewashed adaptations and figuring out why these don't work at all, attempt to deconstruct great adaptations, and answer the age-old question – how do we make this work?

There's definitely no Russian on this episode! 

First Person Shooters have long been a gaming genre that has inspired millions of both casual and ultra-competitive gamers. When you think of FPS, the first game you think of is probably Call of Duty. From a simple World War 2 shooter to the massive, globetrotting action set piece it is today, COD has become one of the most profitable franchises in history. Love it or hate it, COD is a game that has earned its right to be the one of the generation's most influential FPSs.

Listen as Leandro Ds and Jai Aquino invite Paolo Ds to discuss the evolution of this franchise, for better and for worse. From iconic heroes and villains, Nazi Zombies, and late night Warzone sessions, to pre-pubescent campers, rage quitting, and Kevin Spacey (???) – Call of Duty's evolution is as diverse as Task Force 141. They try to figure out why it has so much haters that still buy the game every year, whether the Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone is the best game mode, and if there any other innovations COD can do at this point.

It's been 13 years since Iron Man repulsor blasted his way to the hearts of millions around the world — creating a shared universe that has made the superhero genre the most profitable franchise in history. But beyond our obsession with cookie-cutter supes, the last few years has shown that there is an audience that craves for a much edgier and gorier alternative.

Enter The Boys and Invincible — 2 shows from Amazon Prime that flips the superhero genre on its head. With its realistic but satirical tones, these shows boast characters and plots that Captain America wouldn't be caught dead dealing with. Listen as Leandro Ds, Vito Alip, and Jai Aquino discuss (what they coin as) the Super-Anti-Hero genre. They tackle why these shows resonate to a large audience base, its (super-anti-hero) origin story, and whether or not there's room for this genre in mainstream pop culture.
