DCT Season 2 Episode 5: The Rundown: Don't Look Up, Old, and Belfast

 

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 5, trying out the new format we call The Rundown. We do three short reviews in one episode! Sa episode na ito, ang aming pinag-usapan ay: 1) Don't Look Up (2021) ni Adam McKay, at ang parallelisms nito sa Philippine society, lalo na't napapalapit na ang eleksyon; 2) Old (2021) ni M. Knight Shyamalan, at kung gaano ka-fanboy si Sting Lacson ni Shyamalan despite The Last Airbender; at 3) Belfast (2021) ni Kenneth Branagh, at kung paano na-kwento ang isang mabigat na theme sa magaan na paraan.

Average ratings:
Don't Look Up: 7.4/10

Old: 7.45/10

Belfast: 7.4/10

DCT Season 2 Episode 4: Encanto (2021), or Why We Need an Asian Lin-Manuel Miranda

Da Couch Tomato Podcast Season 2 Episode 4, discussing Disney's Encanto. Gaano kagaling ba si Lin-Manuel Miranda? Magaling, apprarently, lalo na sa pag-rhyme. At kung ang Frozen ay walang leading man, ang Encanto naman ay walang villain o antagonist. Also, bakit sobrang inis si Abuela kay Mirabel, e pareho lang naman silang walang gift?

Sting Lacson's rating: 8.4/10

Rachel's rating: 8/10

Final rating: 8.2/10
