  • Pinoys vs. ‘No Other Choice’ w/ Jared Garalde
    Feb 10 2026

    We’re here today to chat about Park Chan-wook’s newest film ‘No Other Choice’ with friend of the pod Jared Garalde (@jjgara)! Park, famed director of ‘Oldboy’ & ‘The Handmaiden’, returns to our big screens to bring us the South Korean submission for Best International Feature Film at the 2026 Academy Awards.


    Starring Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin, ‘No Other Choice’ tells the story of a recently laid-off paper mill worker on his path back to employment. We are fans of Park’s films and definitely found a lot to love with this one. Thanks for watching!

    We are so excited to finally bring you our long-awaited review of Josh Safdie's indie-hit 'Marty Supreme'! Devon Holze & Jared Garalde joined us to chat about the film and the impact it had on us + the culture at large.


    Starring Timothée Chalamet, Odessa A'zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler, The Creator, and so many more, 'Marty Supreme' follows the frantic life of Marty Mauser on his quest to be the biggest star in international table tennis. Set in a post-WWII world, Marty shows us the ups, and chaotic downs, of ambition & truly dreaming big.
