Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. My next guests are a true force in the P-Pop scene — bold, fierce, and unapologetically themselves. I’ve had the honor of crossing paths with them way back when they first debuted. We collaborated on a YouTube video back when I was still producing fan films, and I had such a great time getting to know them. And now? They've blown up into one of the hottest girl groups in the Philippi...

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. My next guest is a Red Ranger, a stunt pro, a YouTuber, and the undisputed king of the spontaneous handstand. We’re talking Power Rangers, fandom, flips, and full-circle moments. He’s trained, choreographed, and performed across film and TV—and somehow still finds time to geek out like the rest of us. Whether you knew him from the morphin’ grid or from your YouTube feed… today, we’re ...

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

For those of you who’ve been following my journey, you probably know that I started out on YouTube making Power Rangers fan films and skits. For a decade, I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with many of the actors who brought that universe to life.

So you can say that today is a milestone for me. Because even though I never got the chance to meet her at a con or on an event, I f...

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.

She’s been in the industry for more than a decade, and has been singing with a voice that can break your heart and heal it in the same verse. Her music has traveled from intimate café corners to massive festival stages across Asia, and her storytelling only keeps getting deeper. Whether you first heard her on Human Eyes or discovered her through Befriending My Tears, you know you’re...

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

I’m really excited about today’s guests. I first met them at the 2024 Spotify Wrapped dinner, where we were all being recognized with awards that night. By chance, we ended up at the same area of this long table, and my very first impression of them wasn’t even about the music. It was how genuinely kind and friendly they were.

Since then, I’ve been wanting to have them on the show, ...

This week, I’m taking you inside Nevermore Academy with me as I relive my time in Sydney for the Wednesday junket. From the nerves just before stepping into the room to the absolute thrill of hearing these incredible creatives share their stories, it was an experience I’ll never forget. We talked about the shocking return of Principal Weems, the fact that Jenna Ortega herself hasn’t even seen Season 2 ...

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...

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

As a lifelong sci-fi fanboy, the Alien franchise was a huge part of my growing up. I’ve always loved how Alien built this eerie, industrial future filled with secrets, and how that same universe eventually intersected with another favorite of mine: Predator.

So when Disney+ announced a brand-new Alien series, I was instantly on board. I actually got to preview the first episode ahead of this interview, and let me tell ...

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

I was lucky enough to watch the entire second season of GEN V ahead of its release. The storytelling is razor-sharp, the twists are deliciously shocking, and the character arcs are so rich that you find yourself rooting for everyone in ways you didn’t expect.

That’s why I’m so thankful to Prime Video for giving me the chance to sit down with three of the incredible cast members t...

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

Growing up with the Tron franchise, I was thrilled to hear about TRON: ARES. And getting the chance to speak with one of its lead stars was such an incredible experience. I had an amazing time during our conversation and can’t wait for you to watch it!

Fangirls and fanboys, GRETA LEE!
