Telebabad Tapes

Cj talks with her good friend Richard Bolisay, film critic, professor, and writer of the books Break It To Me Gently and Nothing Deep, about their favorite British limited series FLEABAG. They talk about how FLEABAG and Phoebe Waller-Bridge capture the Millennial psyche of messiness, self-aware humor, flirting, and so much more! Quite an insightful, fun, and juicy episode.

Check out Richard Bolisay's second book, Nothing Deep. In his second collection of essays, Richard Bolisay speaks to personalities from Philippine cinema and shares their stories. He goes to a film shoot and observes the fortuitous meeting between its star and director. He pays tribute to a beloved filmmaker. He rhapsodizes about love teams and examines the movies of two of the biggest pairs of the era. He visits the house of an actor known for his ease and effortlessness. He writes an encompassing appraisal of the career of an influential screenwriter. Weaving together incisive critique and tender storytelling, Nothing Deep contains these instances and other dispatches from the alleyways of Filipino film in the 2010s and offers time capsules of its joys, sorrows, and transformations.
