So long, farewell Sinag Maynila Film Festival 2019!
We were invited by Keith Deligero, Lawrence Ang and company thru Contagious Inc. to discuss the Sinag Maynila Film Festival. Forgive our shyness, here’s hoping you guys join in the discussion too! We don’t bite, although you can always bite us if you don’t agree! Watch the video version on your free time as we discuss Japanese porn, films, laugh accordingly, Jim’s unlimited trivia on films, DJ’s soothingly calm voice, and adjust to Princess’ hair touching techniques. Enjoy!
Third World Cinema Club is a non-profit podcast venture among film reviewers John Tawasil, Jim Paranal, Princess Kinoc, DJ Ramones, and Tristan Zinampan.
