The best thing about watching movies is the feelings you get when you empathize with characters. Regardless of the genre, the nature of films is for people to relate to what's happening on screen. One of the more common relationships you'll find on screen is friendships, and this is one of the easiest to relate to. It's hard to think of a film that doesn't have any semblance of friendships in any way. So with the breadth of film friendships, we beg to ask -- what's the best friendship on film? In honor of the Unli-Pop! Friendship (yay), listen as the Usuals attempt to debate which film friendship is the best (in our opinion). Leandro Ds, Vito Alip, and Danmig Agcaoili tackle the various kinds of friendships and relate these to real life situations in this very wholesome (surprisingly) episode!

Fashion and pop culture have long been intertwined. For the uninitiated, the impact of fashion in society and culture is very understated. It's more than the clothes you wear, the runway shows you watch, and the luxury brands you desire. Beneath the consumerism façade, there's a well-oiled machine that dictates what most think are mundane choices. And that's worth a deep dive on Unli-Pop! Join noted fashion agnostic Leandro Ds and a pair of fashion fanatics in Via Villafuerte & DJ Magbanua as they discuss the inner workings of the industry -- everything from the economics of fashion, the origin of trends, the rise of fast (and ultra fast) fashion, and more!

At one point, Oasis christened themselves the biggest band in the world and it was very difficult to argue against it. These were the guys that played in front of a quarter of a million people in Knebworth after all. But that was in 1996, which is only 2 years after Leandro Ds and Vito Alip were born. Despite being massive fans of Oasis, they could only wish to experience the height of their popularity. But it doesn't hurt to ask what it was like back in the day. Listen as the Unli-Pop! Usuals welcome The Podcast Coach Paul Catherall to the show. A UK native, Paul shares his experiences when Oasis were at their peak. They talk about everything from Oasis' roots, the magic of their first two albums, the disappointment of Be Here Now, and even the Battle of Britpop! Follow us on our social pages!

Unli-Pop! prides itself in being a grumpy old millennial – less than willing to consume new content, comfortable in fads from 5 to 10 years ago, and finally embracing "get-off-my-lawn" energy. Of course, not every millennial is like that. There are tons of people our age that embrace what the new generation has to offer. Enter TikTok. GOM (this should be a thing) extraordinaire Leandro Ds is joined by two guests that feel as if they were born in the wrong generation. Frankie Primavera and Jesse Pepino hop on the podcast to talk about the holy grail of Gen Z, TikTok! Listen as they try to explain to Leandro what's so great about this content platform and convince him to make an account! Plus! Discussions on what makes Gen Z different from us Milennials, as told by Millennials!  Follow us on our social pages! Facebook: http://bit.ly/unlipopFB Instagram: http://bit.ly/unlipopIG

To the kids born in the 90s, do you remember the first time you heard about American Pie? And do you remember what it was like growing up around movies like Superbad? For a lot of kids our age, watching these kinds of films was a rite of passage (who cares about age ratings anyway?).  More than the actual films, watching these was an experience that our younger selves had to go through – all the sneaking, telling your other little friends, and eventually being scolded after your parents catch you with it. Good times. Listen as  Leandro Ds and the Unli-Pop usuals in Jai Aquino, Danmig Agcaoili, and Reno Gatan reminisce over our corrupted younger years. They discuss everything from the difference between films like American Pie and Superbad, our favorite scenes, and where this genre is headed (give us more feminist perspectives, Hollywood!).

Sometimes, we all just have to take a step back and remember the good old days. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing. Being able to sit down with a couple of your friends and talk about what it felt like binging on cartoons and other children shows every afternoon is honestly just a great time in general. Leave it to the Unli-Pop! Usuals to make that into a competition. Listen as the Usuals are joined by Ella Villaflor as they tackle the programs that our child-selves would throw a fit over if someone would even suggest that they'd change the channel -- Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and the Disney Channel. They dissect the content make-up of these channels, what makes them distinct from each other, the individual shows that fueled their childhoods, CHOOSE a champion show from each network, and DECIDE which of the 3 is the GOAT in this TV Triple Threat!  Follow us on our social pages!
