The best thing about watching movies is the feelings you get when you empathize with characters. Regardless of the genre, the nature of films is for people to relate to what's happening on screen. One of the more common relationships you'll find on screen is friendships, and this is one of the easiest to relate to. It's hard to think of a film that doesn't have any semblance of friendships in any way. So with the breadth of film friendships, we beg to ask -- what's the best friendship on film?
In honor of the Unli-Pop! Friendship (yay), listen as the Usuals attempt to debate which film friendship is the best (in our opinion). Leandro Ds, Vito Alip, and Danmig tackle the various kinds of friendships and relate these to real life situations in this very wholesome (surprisingly) episode!
Friendship is at the core of any great relationship. But what really makes a great friendship? Is it sticking by your friend to the end? Is it the longevity to span generations? Or is it making fun of your friend when he gets caught pleasuring himself with a pie?
This Sunday, Unli-Pop! takes a look at some of the best examples of friendship on the silver screen. Listen as we (attempt to) figure out what the BFF is -- the best friendship in film history!

Fashion and pop culture have long been intertwined. For the uninitiated, the impact of fashion in society and culture is very understated. It's more than the clothes you wear, the runway shows you watch, and the luxury brands you desire. Beneath the consumerism façade, there's a well-oiled machine that dictates what most think are mundane choices. And that's worth a deep dive on Unli-Pop!
Join noted fashion agnostic Leandro Ds and a pair of fashion fanatics in Via Villafuerte & Daniel John Magbanua as they discuss the inner workings of the industry -- everything from the economics of fashion, the origin of trends, the rise of fast (and ultra fast) fashion, and more!
Fashion is more than just TikTok trends, luxury brands, and online shopping. It isn't as superficial as you might think.
Catch Episode 22 of Unli-Pop as we head on over to uncharted territory (for us) again! Listen to Leandro Ds and special guests Daniel John Magbanua and Via Villafuerte this Sunday, October 10 as they dissect the culture of fashion.

Whether you love them or hate them, Oasis had an argument to be the biggest bad in the world in the mid 90s. After all, their first two albums instantly shot them into superstardom. But the 3rd album?... Most would say it was a major step down from Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story?) Morning Glory. Or is it? It's time for another Decons(TRACK)tion! 🎧
After an amazing episode talking everything Oasis a few weeks ago, listen as Leandro Ds listens to the entirety of Be Here Now! Which of the songs off of the album make it out as certified classics? Which are certified garbage? Is Be Here Now really as bad as critics make it out to be? Listen along and decide for yourself! 🎸
It's a sequel episode, d'you know what I mean?
After such a wonderful discussion a few weeks ago with The Podcast Coach Paul Catherall on how powerful Oasis were back in the day, the LSS is real. What better way to indulge this than by pulling out another Decons(TRACK)tion!
Of course, the Oasis episode was an hour (and more) of praising their first two albums, so it's only fair that we skip those. Instead, Episode 21 of Unli-Pop! is a Decons(TRACK)tion of the oft-maligned third release, BE HERE NOW (which definitely deserves a re-listen).
Is this album as horrible as they say? Are there songs there worth saving on your Spotify playlist? What the hell is a Magic Pie? Listen this Sunday, October 3 to find out!
