Domestic Efficiency with The Housemaid, Sentimental Value, Can This Love Be Translated?, and The Rip

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss several films including The Housemaid, Sentimental Value, and The Rip, while also featuring Ham's final recording from London.

Yes, it's SPOILER-FREE! It's officially Ham's final recording from London so we begin with her signature segment, INGGITIN MO KAMI! That's her telling us about another bunch of stuff we won't get to experience anyway. Once that's over with, she moves on to the critical darling and awards season contender, Sentimental Value. It's going to be showing in the Philippines soon as part of FDCP's A Curation of World Cinema so we actually have a chance to see Stelan Skarsgard and crew in this Norwegian drama. After that, lipat naman tayo sa curation of couch cinema with Netflix's action thriller, The Rip, with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Steven Yeun. Mike then proudly reports that after missing it last week, he finally saw The Housemaid as Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried get tangled up in this stressful domestic thriller. Also in this episode, P77 with Barbie Forteza, Can This Love Be Translated?, and more... Oh, so much more.
