Sorry, ang dami nga lang asides and digressions starting with Mike's PBB rant and Albie Casiño's multiverse of madness. Napuntahan din ang prospective cabinet members ni President Cardo Dalisay when that finally happens in Ang Probinsyano. But going back to Kathniel, we realized na wala pala kaming masyadong alam sa teleseryes nila kaya pasensya na for completely messing up our retelling of La Luna ...

We get into how well the comedy works in this series without sacrific...

Marvel sure put a lot into this movie with an ensemble cast including the likes of Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Selma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, and Don Lee--nakuha pa nila...
