Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 26, a.k.a. The Rundown 05. Ang three short reviews namin sa episode na ito ay: 1) The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) ni Martin McDonagh, and why it takes a smart actor to play a stupid character; 2) The Fabelmans (2022) ni Steven Spielberg, at kung paano nito na-inspire si Sting Lacson na magbalik sa filmmaking; at 3) Elvis (2022) ni Baz Luhrmann, at ang galing ng performance ni Austin Butler dahil hindi ito mukhang caricature.

Average ratings:
The Banshees of Inisherin: 8/10
The Fabelmans: 8.15/10
Elvis: 7.8/10

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 23, discussing Strange World. Pinuri namin ang pagiging woke ng Disney sa pelikulang ito, mula sa pagiging metaphor ng climate change, sa pagkakaroon ng interracial marriages, hanggang sa pagkakaroon ng same-sex relationships. Isama na rin natin ang pagbibida sa mga aso na tatlo lang ang paa.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 19, discussing Bullet Train. 'Yung sinasabi ni Martin Scorsese na Marvel movies are more like theme park rides daw, tingin namin mas theme park ride ang Bullet Train. Pinag-usapan din namin ang husay ni Aaron Taylor-Johnson, at ang magaling na sequence involving the water bottle.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 18, discussing Thor: Love and Thunder. Isa 'yung tipo ng pelikula na from the start pa lang ay sinasabi na "Don't take us too seriously". Nagustuhan namin ang girl power themes, especially kina King Valkyrie at Jane Foster a.k.a. Mighty Thor. Pinag-usapan din namin na tila walang exclusivity ang paglabas ng isang artista sa Marvel o DC movies, 'di tulad sa Pilipinas na ang Kapuso ay hindi pwede maging Kapamilya at vice versa.

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 16, discussing the latest Pixar film Lightyear. Pinag-usapan namin kung bakit tingin namin ito ang weakest Pixar film so far, at hindi namin alam kung dahil ba ito ay spin-off. We also talked about the most controversial part ng movie, which is the same-sex kiss (sa totoo lang, smack lang ito, pero ginawang big deal). Binanggit din namin na medyo disappointed kami na walang kasamang Pixar short ito bago ang movie.

Sting Lacson's rating : 7/10
Rachel's rating: 7/10
Final rating: 7/10
