October is ⁠Filipino American Heritage Month⁠ and to celebrate we are looking at the contributions that The Philippines have made to cinema. We specifically are looking at three films ⁠Manilla in the Claws of Light⁠, ⁠Ma’ Rosa⁠ and ⁠Islands⁠ along with namedropping plenty of other titles. Joining the show to lead the discussion is Paulo Bautista host of the ⁠⁠Oscars Death Race Podcast⁠.
