In our last installment for Miyazaki month, we deconstruct two movies that we felt best illustrate Hayao’s love for flying: "Porco Rosso” and “The Wind Rises.” Then, we discuss Miyazaki’s process and who he is in real life versus his "media persona."

Patrick professes his newfound love for Star Trek, from watching the new tv show "Strange New Worlds" to bingeing "Deep Space Nine" on Netflix. Come join the discussion on Trek history and its undoubtedly important contribution in culture.

A Filipino and a non-Filipino (well, partly) review "Trese", the Netflix original animated series based on the popular Filipino comic book series.

In our pilot episode, we discuss Zack Snyder’s latest work: Army of the Dead. We might have realized what this brilliant (debatable) director should do less in his upcoming works.
