    Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. Today’s guest is the kind of artist who’s just as comfortable behind the mic as he is in front of a camera. He’s studied music seriously, worked with some heavy hitters, and somehow still manages to keep it real on social media. And right now, he’s here in the Philippines, connecting with fans and promoting his brand new single, Deja Vu. Whether you’ve streamed his songs or seen his Tik-Toks online—there’s a good chance you already know the name. Fangirls and fanboys, Sunny Lukas!

    May 29 2025

    Welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. I’ll be the first to admit — I’m not the most well-versed when it comes to motorsports. But I’ve always loved racing movies, played a ton of Gran Turismo as a kid, and recently found myself totally drawn into the world of Netflix's new series F1: The Academy.

    In this episode, I got to have a really fun, insightful conversation about the highs, the hurdles, and everything in between with one of the most exciting young drivers out there. Fangirls and fanboys, Bianca Bustamante!

  • Jordan Hembrough on TOY HUNTER, collaborating with Jason David Frank, and a common collector mistake | Ep. 31
    May 19 2025

    Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy! I first met this next guest at Star Wars Celebration VI in 2012. I was a fan of Toy Hunter and pretty much had a collector’s heart attack when I saw him. We’ve stayed connected through the Holonet—aka social media—proof that sometimes, the real treasures aren’t toys, they’re friends you meet along the way. Now, he’s finally here, fresh out of the carbonite and ready to chat. Fangirls and fanboys, Jordan Hembrough!

    May 12 2025

    Welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with your host, Chris Cantada Force. My guest today is someone I met in the most unexpected but awesome way—at a geek convention. He’s a pro athlete who’s just as passionate about pop culture as he is about putting up points on the court. As a key player for the Meralco Bolts in the PBA and a proud representative of the Philippines overseas, he’s consistently brought his A-game. And just recently, he added PBA Finals MVP to his growing list of achievements. He’s got the heart of a Ranger and the hustle of a champ. Fangirls and fanboys, Chris Newsome!

    May 5 2025

    Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with me your host Chris Cantada Force. Today’s episode is a galactical reunion so to speak. I’ve known this guy ever since I was in high school and I was covering his songs. We officially met when I got into the music industry with Sponge Cola. We sparked a pretty unique bond, not just with music but with being Star Wars geeks. His band Kjwan just released their new single called MSK, and I can’t wait to catch up with him. Fangirls and fanboys, Marc Abaya!
