Is love still in the air, or has it always been there?
Calling the attention of all the hopeless romantics out there! Kwentorika’s original Spotify podcast is back again this month with a Valentine’s Day Special for this season’s 12th Episode titled, “From Hearts to Screens”, spilling the tea about the acts of love we witness through screens.
Valentine’s Day may have ended weeks ago, but the kilig feels aren’t over yet! This special episode is led by our lovely hosts, Jessie Angellie Rivera and Sophia Buenaventura, as they delve into the world of RomComs and topics around it that any romcom watchers would definitely relate to.
Through the eyes of a romantic, there is nothing more satisfying than getting their heartstrings pulled by the enchanting lines and scenes performed by a couple of dreamy actors. Whether it’s a cliché meet-cute at a coffee shop, a cheesy love confession, or an angsty breakup scene under the pouring rain– these elements are what make RomCom movies fun and sweet, making it an everlasting genre embedded in movies and films despite its predictability.
Not to mention, romantic comedies have certainly influenced how we perceive relationships in real life. If you ever catch yourself daydreaming about a cute scene with your imaginary partner or playing out a script before you fall asleep, then it probably has something to do with how love is portrayed in the media, constantly shaping our ideals and crushing our expectations in romance.
Finally, revisiting some of the beloved romance tales released in cinema, ranging from Hollywood classics such as the Notting Hill and 50 First Dates to Filipino favorites like the Diary ng Panget and The Hows of Us, this episode will surely make you reminisce about the flutters, laughs, and cries we’ve experienced from both in movies and in real life.
Feel the talks of love this episode will bring and tune in this Friday, April 26, 2024 on the official Spotify Podcast of Kwentorika in collaboration with CASA Chronicle and CASA Multimedia, and check out their previous episodes.
