A bit late but still SPOILER-FREE! Full disclosure, this was recorded last weekend but it got stuck in post. Well, it's finally out now so you're welcome! Obviously the information here is at least five days old so bakit pa natin patatagalin? Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone in Bugonia. Jennifer Lawrence and Roberto Pattinson in Die My Love. The horsemen in Now You See Me: Now You Don't. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in Nobody Wants This. Deadly creatures in Predator: Badlands. And featuring Mike's weekly Physical: Asia report. And that's how you do an episode description in a very lazy manner.

A SPOILER-FREE post-long weekend to everyone! We're back with another episode that's filled to the brim and umaapaw pa! Of course, we have Ham telling us again about her London exploits and this time, it's about her trip to the MCM Comic Con London. And after niya tayo inggitin, she tells us about the romantic film, Regretting You, starring everyone's favorite young version of the lady protagonist, Mckenna Grace. We also get into the recently concluded fifth season of Only Murders in the Building and maybe for once, we agree? What? Mike then tells Ham about the supernatural horror film, Shelby Oaks, and the story behind the making of the movie. Napag-usapan rin ang one long continuous shot na movie ni Alessandra de Rossi na Everyone Knows Every Juan. Then last but not the least, we get into acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook's black comedy film, No Other Choice, starring Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin. Ang dami na ba? Also in this episode, Tulsa King, Gen V, Physical: Asia, and It: Welcome to Derry!

SPOILER-FREE! But you already know that. Pasensya na, medyo late ang episode this week but it's here now, what more do you want? We start with Ham catching us up on her busy week by sharing some Shakespeare fun facts that she learned from Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel in the play, Born with Teeth. She also saw her Hollywood crush, Channing Tatum, in person when she watched Roofman at the London Film Festival. And if that wasn't enough, she also tells us about her quick Barcelona getaway. Then in a battle of Saturday stories, Mike tells us about his Mandaluyong getaway wherein he went to the German film festival, Kinofest and watched Chainsaw Man--The Movie: Reze Arc. He also talks about Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, and Keanu Reeves' misfortunes in Good Fortune. Napag-usapan rin ang Filipino vampire movie ni Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Carlo Aquino na The Time That Remains. Then last but not the least, Quezon! Jerrold Tarog's final installment of the Bayaniverse is finally upon us. With a star-studded cast, a kickback-level budget, and Ser Jorah Mormont in tow, are we looking at the newest bayani box office phenomenon since Heneral Luna yelled p*nyeta in the cinema? Wait, do we even know who Quezon was and what Quezon did? Quezon City? Quezon Province?

SPOILER-FREE—that's how we do it, in case you didn't know! Episode last week, episode ulit ngayon! We're finally a weekly podcast again for the first time in a long, long time. So we saw Tron: Ares. Was it any good? I think it'd be best if you just listen in. And as we're catching up on the latest TV programs, napag-usapan ang Alice in Borderland Season 3. Sama niyo na dyan ang kakatapos lang na Peacemaker Season 2. Meron din kami ditong movie na dapat sana last episode pa, ang The Smashing Machine with The Rock and Emily Blunt. Then of course, Ham tells us about the stuff na pinaggagawa niya sa London last week namely, Matilda the Musical.

We're back and we're still SPOILER-FREE! We were out for a bit but we're now back in our proper places. So in this episode, you're going to hear about our adventures whether you like it or not! And we will tell you everything—even the things you don't need to know! Oh yeah, we also have some TV and film. We saw Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another with Leonardo DiCaprio. There's Bon Appetit, Your Majesty and Wednesday on Netflix. We also talked about Kontrabida Academy na isa palang international release so congrats! Then we try to catch up on some backlog with The Long Walk and 100 Awit Para Kay Stella. We also watched a bunch of in-flight entertainment. Blah blah blah. Let's be real, when the episode's almost an hour and a half long, you know there's going to be a whole lot of NONSENSE!

SPOILER-FREE, of course. Have you ever listened to a podcast na ang daming sinasabi pero walang sinasabi? Welcome to Please Pause! Warning: Up to 20% of the episode may contain conversations about TV and film! But no promises. After much dilly-dallying, Mike tells us about his The Conjuring binge, culminating in a trip to the cinema to watch Ed and Lorraine Warren's final case in The Conjuring: Last Rites. Ham then tells us about The Austin Butler starrer, Caught Stealing. She follows that up with another comedy starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, The Roses. By the way, Ham is still in the UK kaya nagkwento rin siya about her theater and musical adventures in the West End—because she's so London. On the other hand, Mike finally got to see Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital. Napag-usapan rin ang Department Q na ngayon lang namin napanood. Then from one mystery to the next, we also get into Netflix's star studded Thursday Murder Club!

Tamang SPOILER-FREE na tambay lang in our Season 7 premiere! As if that means anything! LDR podcasting pa rin tayo and we divided and conquered the TV and film space—meaning, kanya-kanya lang kami ng mga pinanood. First up, Mike tells us about the biggest movie in Korea right now, My Daughter is a Zombie. Matakot, matawa, or maiyak, bahala na kayo. Ham then tells us about another—yes, another—Pedro Pascal film, the COVID black comedy, Eddington. Mike then goes on to ramble about his Netflix binge headlined by Marla Ancheta's OPM musical, One Hit Wonder. Dagdag mo na dyan ang The Last Goodbye with Matt Lozano and Daniela Stranner, Isolated with Yassi Pressman, Night Always Comes with Vanessa Kirby, and the German erotic thriller, Fall for Me. Ham then tells us about Mike Flannagan's inspiring life drama, The Life of Chuck with Tom Hiddleston. And to top it all off, Mike talks about Dave Franco and Alison Brie in the body horror film, Together! Welcome to Please Pause Season 7!

SPOILER-FREE right up to the very end... Of the season. It's our Season 6 finale! Why? Gusto lang namin. And what a time it is to agree to disagree. We have a good mix of movies and series here but we don't quite feel the same about them. Una na dyan ang Freakier Friday. Lindsay Lohan is back and Manny Jacinto was here... As in here in the Philippines! Pag-usapan natin 'yan. From Friday, punta naman tayo sa Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega. Then we also have Celine Song's latest film, Materialists. It may have the star power of Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, and Dakota Johnson but does it hold up to Past Lives? We have a lot to say about that. Then finally, we watched the latest horror phenomenon, Weapons! You'll be hard-pressed to find a negative review of this Julia Garner horror mystery. Well... How about here? Listen in and let us know ow what you think!

We're back and still SPOILER-FREE! And maybe you'll learn something useful from us in this episode for a change? Who knows? Let's go! Antoinette Jadaone and Maris Racal's Sunshine has finally been released sa Pilipinas! Medyo mabigat ang pelikulang 'to but if you're interested in seeing it, you probably should as soon as you can dahil baka mawala na siya sa mga sinehan before you realize it. Napag-usapan rin ang golf comedy ni Adam Sandler na Happy Gilmore 2. And as if that's not enough golf comedy, we also talked about the Apple TV+ series, Stick, starring Owen Wilson. Ham also tells us about Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's latest comedy movie, The Naked Gun. And last but definitely not the least, Fantastic Four! Marvel's first family is finally here and... We have some mixed feelings about it? All that and of course, a lot of antics and shenanigans in this episode!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin kahit na LDR podcasting na kami ulit! Ham's away again but that never stopped us before. Just a word of warning, this episode's a bit light on the TV and film but it's certainly heavy on everything else. We begin with Mike telling us about the Australian horror film from the Philippou brothers, Bring Her Back. We then get into the 4th season of The Bear, the widely acclaimed—is it still? Pag-usapan natin. Ham then tells us about a movie she saw during her flight, the Latvian animated film, Flow. And last but not the least, we end the episode with the MCU series, Iron Heart.

SPOILER-FREE syempre! We recorded this episode on a rainy afternoon kaya pasensya na sa background noise. This was also right before Ham's flight back to the UK kaya eto na rin ang despedida niya. Umabot kaya siya sa flight? We'll see. But no matter, what a huge episode this is. We start with Jurassic World Rebirth starring ScarJo, Mahershala Ali, and a bunch of... Weird dinosaurs? So was it a rebirth indeed? Or an extinction? Pag-usapan natin. Pagkatapos noon, we also have F1 or F1 the Movie, the movie about F1 the sport. Was it a podium finish for Brad pitt? Or was it a very expensive flat tire? We'll tell you all about it. Dito nga rin pala sa episode na 'to ping-usapan namin ang much anticipated (by most people) final season ng Squid Game. Then last but in no way the least, Superman! James Gunn's Superman is finally out and we have some things to say about it. Is DC finally back on track? Are things finally looking up? All that in ONE episode! Plus shout outs galore to our beloved listeners!

Still SPOILER-FREE but not going to lie, there isn't much in this episode. We have so much stuff to catch up on but that's for another time. For now, magkwentuhan muna tayo. Ham tells us about Pixar's latest animated movie, Elio! Right on the heels of Lilo and Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon, kamusta naman kaya si Elio and his out of this world adventure? Let's go. Napanood rin namin ang serial killer plus shark thriller film na Dangerous Animals so pag-uusapan rin natin yan. Then we also have Netflix's latest hit, K-Pop Demon Hunters. Meron din ditong Lost in Starlight and Predator: Killer of Killers. And to top that off, napag-usapan rin ang documentary series by the multi-awarded Filipino journalist, Jiggy Manicad, I Love Filipino. That and a lot more nonsense, all in this episode!

SPOILER-FREE yey! We've been really bad at promoting our recent episodes so thanks for sticking with us! Ham's still live and in person in our beautiful country of the Philippines so might as well make the most of it. We saw a bunch of movies straight from the silver screen. Una na dyan ang live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon. Hiccup and Toothless are at it again but this time, they are live! Well, actually, the dragons are still CGI—more realistic and a lot more detailed CGI. Pag-usapan natin what else this remake has to offer. Hindi lang yan, we also have Charo Santos and Dingdong Dantes in their much hyped romantic movie, Only We Know! Is much of it hype only? Romantic nga ba? Let's get into Director Irene Villamor's latest film. And then sa sine pa rin, we also have Flower Girl! Directed by Fatrick Tabada and starring Sue Ramirez and her lost poochy, this raunchy comedy is coming to cinemas on June 18! Also in this episode, Straw and Bet from Netflix. And last but not the least, we also have The Studio from Apple TV Plus—probably the most fun we've had from a series in a while. Let's go!

SPOILER-FREE as always! Ham is back home! For better or worse, albeit temporarily. So let's podcast away! We're talking about The Last of Us Season 2—na hindi pa napapanood ni Ham so Mike tells her all about Ellie... and Joel. Shhh! No spoilers! We also got into the John Wick spinoff starring Ana de Armas, Ballerina! Money-grab or a worthy successor? Pag-usapan natin! Speaking of spinoffs, natapos na rin ni Ham at last ang Resident Playbook so we can finally talk about it. Last but not the least, sa remake naman tayo with Lilo and Stitch! This time, Maia Kealoha is the live-action Lilo and CGI Stitch is Stitch. May point ba 'tong remake na 'to? Listen in and we'll tell you what we think!

SPOILER-FREE. That's it. It's been three weeks so we're not going to delay this any further but it's definitely someone's fault why we couldn't do an episode. Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning—last movie na daw nila Tom cruise, allegedly. Let's see. Final Destination Bloodlines—people died. The end. For them. Best movie in the franchise daw? Andor Season 2—spoiler-alert, if you've seen Rogue One, then good luck to Cassian Andor. Also in this episode, Nonnas on Netflix with Vincent Vaughn and Daniela Forever with Henry Golding and Beatrice Granno. I'll stop writing this description now. Pakinggan niyo na lang!

SPOILER-FREE in case you forgot how this works. We've been gone for weeks but we're back. Apologies muna because we have so much to catch up on, ang haba tuloy. Ang dami kasing kwento, pwede namang wala! But that wouldn't be Please Pause, would it? And here we are. So Thunderbolts* is finally out. Directed by Jake Schreier, this latest Marvel film has got everyone excited as we enter MCU's next phase. But is it just another cog in Marvel's superhero machine? Or is the buzz actually worth it? Pag-usapan natin! Hindi lang 'yan, we have another blockbuster on the docket—Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's Sinners! To say that this is just a vampire movie doesn't really do it justice. If you haven't seen it yet, let us tell you all about it! Then dagdag mo pa sa episode na 'to yung The Accountant 2 with Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. Was there a lot of math? Was it at least fun? Listen in and join the conversation! On top of that, we have the latest season of Black Mirror and Daredevil: Born Again plus some other stuff, useless or otherwise. Yes, we're still a podcast!

SPOILER-FREE but you already know that. Here's a new episode for compliance's sake. We had a lot to go through though starting with A Minecraft Movie! Mike talks about Jack Black and Jason Momoa's video game adaptation from the eyes of a non-Minecraft player so let's see how that goes. Nagkwento naman si Ham about Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller, Black Bag. Wala pa 'to sa Pilipinas officially but if the critics are to be believed, we better hope it gets here soon. We also have a bunch of series we caught up with like the Korean thriller, Karma, with Shin Min-a. Dagdag mo pa dyan yung medical drama ng Netflix with Willa Fitzgerald, Pulse. And syempre, the recently concluded White Lotus Season 3! Last but not least, we get into Rami Malek's quest for revenge in The Amateur.

SPOILER-FREE, it's not a prank! Daming pinag-usapan, halos lahat walang kwenta. In case anybody needs context, Mike is stuck in the beautiful country of the Philippines while Ham is currently living in a cold, gray, cesspool of a city on the other side of the world. We both saw My Love Will Make You Disappear though. Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino's first film as a love team goes worldwide. How did KimPau do? Pag-usapan natin! We also finished When Life Gives You Tangerines on Netflix. It's the newest K-drama phenomenon, no question about it—except how much can IU and crew make you cry in a span of 16 episodes? Lastly, Mike enjoins Ham to watch Adolescence. She doesn't want to but she will. This much we know—for some first listeners na napadpad lang sa podcast na 'to, this episode will make you disappear.

SPOILER-FREE is our SOP. We're keeping it relaxed for this episode... ALLEGEDLY. We only have three things on the agenda. First would be the Shondaland mystery-comedy series, The Residence. It's another one of those quirky detective series but this time, Uzo Udoba's Cordelia Cupp is taking on a murder at the White House. So how does it compare as far as whodunnits go? Pag-usapan natin! After that, we get into the number one series on Netflix right now, When Life Gives You Tangerines! IU and Park Bo-gum deliver the feels in this K-drama spanning decades and this would be our K-drama halftime report! Finally, we also have the very controversial Disney live-action remake of Snow White. Is there anyone that this movie offended? Is being offended by the movie without seeing it yet even FAIR to the movie? Lot's of serious stuff to discuss. Of course we messed it up!

SPOILER-FREE pa rin! Recorded this last weekend, got stuck in editing, and finally here it is. Since this episode is long overdue, hindi na kami magpapaligoy-ligoy pa. Mickey 17 napanood namin. The Electric State rin. Lilim and Babygirl napanood ni Mike. Daredevil: Born Again on-going na. May mga kwento rin si Ham about Lion King: The Musical and The Diplomat. OK na? Go!
