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

Three years ago, we lost an icon, a Ranger, and a good friend. This episode is especially meaningful because it features the very first time I ever hung out with Jason. Back in 2017, he was so generous with his time and energy, and he gave me this interview that I’ve always treasured.
So for those who haven’t seen it yet, and for those who want to remember him with us, here’s a throwback.

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!

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...

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.

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

Today we’re joined by a voice that’s been powerfully turning heads around the world. Born in Norway, she blends Nordic cool with Manila warmth, crafting songs that feel like late-night confessions wrapped in soulful pop and R&B. She’s fresh off a sold-out show in New York, about to light up the stage here in Manila, and her new single I’m Still is already earning praise for its calm-...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. Today is another great day, because I get to chat with one of my talented friends. She’s a remarkable actress, powerful singer, host, and she’s a cunning Yutnori player. That’s a Korean Children’s game, and she kicked our butts when we played back in Korea. Fangirls and Fanboys, Denise Laurel.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!
I got the amazing opportunity to talk to the two lead actors from one of my favorite Netflix shows: Nobody Wants This. Watching Season 1 when it first dropped really reminded me of how great writing and undeniable chemistry can make a show feel timeless. And having two actors who defined that golden era of TV show us they’ve still got it, now that was something truly special.
It was so special getting the chance to speak...

Hello everyone! Here's a throwback to when I first got to interview Jennifer Lopez. This is the segment where I tested her ability to remember some of her most iconic lines from her movies! I had such a great time, and got to tell her how much one of her movies meant to me growing up. :)

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 with my your host Chris Cantada Force.
Today’s guest is someone who doesn’t just cosplay—she elevates it. From anime characters to jaw-dropping portrayals like Mira from K-Pop Demon Hunters, she’s become a standout voice and face in the cosplay world—not just here in the Philippines, but globally. But what’s even cooler? We both love TWICE.
We’re talking creativity, K-pop, and what it really takes to build a career in this...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! I’m so excited for today’s episode because I finally get to share something I’ve been keeping under wraps for an entire year. This isn’t just any behind-the-scenes story—this one involves Squid Game, a secret set visit in Korea, an unexpected K-pop encounter, and a surprise guest from the show itself. It was one of the wildest, most unforgettable days I’ve ever had, and I’ve been dying to talk about it. Fangirls and fanb...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. Today’s guests are one of the most exciting, soulful, and genre-bending bands in OPM today. They started as rival bands, merged into one, and over the years, they've grown into a festival favorite, a streaming powerhouse, and a band that somehow always finds the exact sound to match your kilig moments.
I’m super excited to have them on the show—not just because of the music, but beca...

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...

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...

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...
