Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. Original films like The End of Oak Street don't come around often, and this one completely drew me in with both its incredible spectacle and the deeply human story at its core. I got the chance to sit down with the film's director and producer, and I have to admit, the Lostie in me was fanboying hard. Fangirls and fanboys, David Robert Mitchell and J.J. Abrams!

For me as a 90s kid, Mortal Kombat was one of those games that just stuck with you. I remember playing it on my cousin's Sega, trying to memorize all the Fatalities, figuring things out with friends, and just being completely pulled into that world.

So seeing it now, years later, still evolving into something bigger, makes me a proud fan. I enjoyed the first movie, but this sequel really expands everything, the scale, the characters, and the emotion behind the fights. My mind was blown in the b...

Hello everyone, my name is Chris Cantada and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

Today is a special one for me because I’m joined by two actors whose work I’ve followed and admired for years. Both are known for bringing incredible depth, commitment, and transformation to their roles, and one of them has even been part of a film that meant so much to me personally growing up (That Thing You Do). Today they star in APEX, a tense and immersive story about survival and instincts...

Now, at just 22, she...

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!

My guests today are two incredible actors joining the chaotic and twisted world of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the cast of Avatar: Fire and Ash in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Huge thanks to 20th Century Studios for the opportunity.

If you know me, you know that one of these actors was instrumental in shaping my love for movies—and of course, I’m talking about the icon herself, Sigourney Weaver.

Hello everyone! This is a throwback to my very first interview ever, back in 2016 for Captain America Civil War. And what a better way to experience my first than by getting roasted by The Falcon and The Winter Soldier!

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! I loved the Daredevil series and when the show was cancelled, I was one of the many people who felt heartbroken and disappointed. But because of Disney+, the series resurrected and thankfully with most of the past actors coming back reprising their roles. And I got to speak with one of those actors. But not just any actor. Someone whose work I've admired for a very long time. And one of her movies actually had a big impa...

In this adrenaline-fueled episode, I chatted with the lead actress, director, and executive producer of F1: The Movie — a high-stakes, high-speed cinematic ride that blurs the line between storytelling and real racing.

Welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. During their visit in Manila, I got to sit down with the cast and director to talk about their bold, fresh take on Superman. We dive into everything from deepfakes and online conspiracies to Lois having her own podcast, Superman’s punk rock edge, and what it means to be a symbol of hope in the age of memes, social media, and public scrutiny. This isn’t your typical Superman—and that’s exactly why I'm so excited for this film. Fangirls and f...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy, with me your host Chris Cantada Force!

When I first watched KPop Demon Hunters, I didn’t expect to fall this hard. Not just for the music, but for how much heart this story had. So to get to talk to the people who brought that sound, spirit, and soul to life… feels really special.

Fangirls and fanboys, here are EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, AND REI AMI, the singing voices of HUNTR/X, and the film’s director, Chris Appelhans.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force.

You know, one of the best parts of being a fan is when the people you once looked up to actually become part of your life. That’s exactly what happened with today’s guest. I first knew him as Koda, the Blue Ranger from Power Rangers Dino Charge. And like so many of us, I was just a fan. But since then, he’s gone from Ranger to starring in Hollywood films like Bullet Train, and leadi...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force.

You probably know her as Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter. But off-screen, she has been carving out a new kind of magic—one rooted not in spells or wands, but in climate care, community, and conscious storytelling.

She’s an author, an advocate, a filmmaker, and now the heart behind Go Gently, a beautifully intimate docuseries that invites us to reimagine our relationship with the pl...
