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

Today, I'm joined by a new artist who's bringing a very familiar sound back into the mainstream. With her pop punk influenced music, she is quickly carving out her own identity, and she has even more music on the way. I'm so excited to hear more about her process, her craft, and what she wants to say through her music.

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

My guest today is someone who has built an incredible career in front of the camera and behind the scenes, and now gets to show us a completely different side of herself as Bobby in Lioness. She’s an actress, a producer, and someone who has kept evolving while staying true to who she is. I’m going to try my best to keep my fanboying in check because I absolutely love her character and this show, but I make...

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

She first made her mark as one half of the beloved duo Leanne & Naara, and has since established herself as a solo artist, most recently putting her own spin on the classic “Babaero.” And music isn't the only way she expresses herself. She's also an actor and theater performer, bringing another side of her artistry that some of you may still be discovering for yourselves.

Fangirls and Fanboys, Leanne!

Hi everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. My guest today is a legendary Filipino drummer who has spent more than three decades making music with iconic bands like TEETH and Sandwich. But these days, he is also known for his passion for food, traveling across the Philippines to discover hidden culinary gems and sharing those discoveries with a whole new generation of fans.

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

Today's guests have carved out a sound that's uniquely their own, blending classical influences with indie pop, jazz, and cinematic storytelling. Their music feels honest and beautifully unpredictable, and with the release of their upcoming debut album Nocturne, they're entering an exciting new chapter as artists. I'm looking forward to talking not just about the music they make, but also the creative ...

Today, I’m joined by the stars of HBO Max's LANTERNS, the DC series following Hal Jordan and John Stewart as they investigate a mystery on Earth. We talk about what makes Hal’s fearlessness such an important part of his character, how Aaron approached making John Stewart feel authentic, and what these two characters bring out in each other.

Hello everyone! Here's a throwback episode packed with fun games, plenty of laughs, and a few fanboy moments I still can't believe happened. The cast put their Avatar: The Last Airbender knowledge to the test, guessed castmates from close up photos, matched memorable quotes, and even assigned bending elements to each other. Fangirls and fanboys, Ken Leung and Elizabeth Yu from Avatar: The Last Airbender Season One.

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!

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

Today, we're diving into the creative mind behind those songs and the passions that inspire her away from the spotlight.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! To celebrate the return of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, I wanted to do something a little different from the usual junket interview. Instead of a traditional Q&A, we put the cast through two fan-inspired games: Truth or Flame, where they tested their memory of Season 1, and "Who's Most Likely To," where they reveal how much they know about each other.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! Today is a special one because this marks my very first official HBO Max junket, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick things off. We're heading back to Westeros as I chat with two of the stars of House of the Dragon. We talk about Daemon and Rhaenyra's evolution over three seasons, the weight of power and identity, and even have some fun imagining what would happen if they traded places with other character...

Here's a throwback to my interview with Hurley himself, Jorge Garcia from LOST.

From theater productions, to General Luna, to her solo work that blends rock, jazz, and classical influences, she’s built a career defined by reinvention and creative freedom. And as a fellow musician, I feel like there’s a lot we can get into about artistry, performance, songwritin...

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

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

My guest today is an actress whose performance as Becka in The Testaments is something that really stayed with me. Coming from a background in theater and Broadway, I thought it was really fascinating hearing her talk about learning to trade projection for subtlety as a performer. We dove into The Testaments, her acting journey, and some thoughtful conversations about loneliness, identity, and everythin...

Hello everyone, my name is Chris Cantada and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. Today’s episode is a special one for me. Before the interviews, before the podcast, before the spandex even, I was part of a band that would go on to become one of the most enduring names in Filipino music. For more than two decades, this band has created songs that many of you grew up with and continue to discover even today.

This conversation is unique because I’m not just speaking to any arti...

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

My guest today is an actress a lot of people are talking about right now because of her performance as Eunice in Beef Season 2. What I really loved is how much she’s able to communicate in such subtle and controlled ways, and it makes her such an interesting character to watch throughout the season. I'm so happy that she said yes to be on the show today, and I'm really excited to dive into Beef, her act...

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...
