Sarap Sampalin with Expats, True Detective: Night Country, and Argylle

SPOILER-FREE pa rin syempre! Tamang kuwentuhan lang! We're going to talk about two on-going series that got us eagerly waiting week after week. Una na diyan ang Hong Kong drama ni Lulu Wang na Expats. Starrring Nicole Kidman and our very own, Ruby Ruiz, this mini-series has not been free of controversy. But as a Prime Video show, worth it ba siyang panoorin? Or is it just a bunch of rich people crying about rich people problems? Pag-usapan natin! Samahan mo pa ng some walang kwentang parenting advice from non-parents. At pagkatapos noon, lipat naman kami sa HBO as we get into the latest season of True Detective, ang Night Country! We talk about Jodie Foster and Kali Reis doing some detective work in icy Alaska under the polar night in what might be the most this franchise has leaned into horror. Meanwhile, Mike does some true detective work himself as he investigates suspicious Rotten Tomatoes reviews. Then last but not the least, we watched Matthew Vaughn's latest and probably biggest movie yet, Argylle! Bryce Dallas Howard led a star-studded cast in this twisty and turn-y spy comedy. But talaga nga bang the greater the spy, the bigger the lie? Tapos meron pang Taylor Swift theories! Also in this episode, nagbabalik ang aming segment where we decide if upcoming movies are worth investing in, ang MIF—Maharlika Investment Film! And paalala lang, no to child abuse!
