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.

Clara Stack on What If Pennywise Never Went To Derry, Help From Hawkins, and Dealing With Fear

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

Our guest today has quickly become one of the most exciting young actors to watch. In IT: Welcome to Derry, she brings so much heart, fear, courage, and emotion to her character that you’d think she’s been acting for decades.
As someone who loves the IT franchise, I’ve been really looking forward to having her on the show, and I cannot wait to hear her stories.

Fangirls and fanboys… Clara Stack!

Jayda on Her Cinematic Pop Era, Project Loki, and How The Industry Broke Her Heart

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

I love talking and geeking out with Hollywood actors. That’s been a huge part of my journey. But musicians feel like home for me. There’s something about talking to them that taps right back into my fanboy DNA. And today’s guest? Her songs, from Action to Bida, reminded me just how powerful OPM storytelling still is.

She’s an artist who’s growing, evolving, and carving out her own lane one fearless rele...

eaJ on Stage Instincts That Protect Him, Leaving His Career in Korea, & Manila’s Turning-Point Song

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

Every now and then, you come across an artist whose music doesn’t just sound good, it feels real. Someone who doesn’t hide behind production or image, but turns every song into a window into where they are in life. That’s what I love about today’s guest. His sound bends genres, but the emotion always hits dead center.

We were actually supposed to do this interview over Zoom a few weeks back, but because the universe so...

Walter Jones on the Price of Integrity, What The Black Ranger Means to Him, & His Passion For Music

Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to Once and Always a Fanboy. Today’s guest is more than a childhood hero — he’s someone I’ve had the honor of creating with. We’ve filmed fan projects together, traveled across the world for conventions in places like Jakarta, Manila, and Los Angeles, and I’ve seen firsthand how much heart he brings to his fans. The original Black Ranger, actor, martial artist, dancer, and now music artist — Fangirls and fanboys, Walter Jones aka Tre Emanuel!

Jacqueline Scislowski on Life After Power Rangers, Her Autoimmune Struggles, and "Coming Home"

Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy.
When she was first announced as the new Yellow Ranger for Power Rangers Beast Morphers at Power Morphicon, I actually ran into her by total coincidence because we were staying on the same floor at the hotel! And just a few days later, I got to interview her for the first time for my channel.
Then fast forward a bit — during Beast Morphers season two, Hasbro reached out and I got to chat with her again, t...

Any Name's Okay on Early Jam Sessions, How Fandom Shaped Their Music, and Celebrating 8 Years

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!
You know, when I first saw this band on my feed, I was struck by how different they sounded from a lot of Gen Z bands out there. What really hooked me was the dynamic between their voices — that unique blend of male and female tones that just clicks.
It took a while for our schedules to finally line up, but it did. So now, me and everyone here at The Pod Network are so thrilled to have them with us today.

Stacey Ryan on Finding Freedom in Her ‘Blessing in Disguise’ Era

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. You might’ve first heard her viral hit "Fall in Love Alone." Or maybe, like me, you saw her guesting on Scary Pockets and thought, "Who is this singer?!"
With her debut album Blessing in Disguise, this person is in her new era. One that’s honest, raw, and entirely her. And honestly? I think it’s her best yet.
So today, we’re talking songwriting, instruments, and her brand new album. F...

Sterling K. Brown on PARADISE success, getting scared during past interviews, & the 80s connection

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. If you've been following me you know how much I've been obsessed with the new Disney+ show called Paradise. The season finale just aired and I'm so glad that everyone now gets to see this great show in its entirety. And the fact that they were renewed for a second season says it all. I've been a fan of this person for such a long time, and I'm so ecstatic I get to fanboy over this sho...

Ely Buendia on Combo On The Run, proudest Eraserheads moment, and what he hates about modern music

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. To call this episode iconic would be an understatement. I wouldn’t be the musician I am now without the influence of this person. He has created incredible music with his bands like Pupil, The Mongols, The Oktaves, and of course Eraserheads. He just released his second solo album called Method Adaptor last year, and their brand new documentary titled Combo on the Run will be in theaters this March. And of course, he is a...

Ayelet Zurer on DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, Vanessa listening to Heavy Metal, & Angels and Demon impact

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...

Janine Berdin on her Debut Album, the Gamble that didn't pay off, & the Level-One Boss she defeated

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force.
You know her voice the moment you hear it... gritty, emotional, and impossible to forget. She first wowed the country on Tawag ng Tanghalan and now she’s dropping her first full album, Lab Songs ng mga Tanga, a project that shows just how much she owns her sound. I’m excited to dig into the stories, the risks, and the writing sessions behind the music.

M2M on their Reunion, if they debuted during streaming, & what frightened them in their early years

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! As a musician growing up in the 90s/early 2000s, there was one unique group that set themselves apart from the usual girl and boy bands that were hitting the airwaves at that time. The fact that they wrote their own songs was a huge deal for me, especially when wanted to be in the music industry as well. During the latter years, they gained success individually. But after almost two decades, they finally decided to reuni...

David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan & James Gunn on the Punk Rock Heart of Superman

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.

Bonnie Wright on Ginny Weasley and Creating a New Kind of Magic with Go Gently

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...
