EPISODE 10 (PART 1): BUDJETTE TAN ON TRESE, UNDERRATED MONSTERS AND WHY WE LOVE TO BE SCARED

In this very special episode, we talk to Budjette Tan, co-creator of Trese, a Filipino komik series turned hit Netflix show.

In Part 1, we talk about Trese, talk about underrated monsters of Philippine mythology and get a sneak peek into The Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo. What's causing the renewed interest in Philippine Myth & how can we bring it even more to the forefront of our popular culture? What's with the Filipino fascination with the gory & macabre? And could we imagine a future with brand-sponsored ghosts?

Join us for a super fun chat with Budjette as we explore this and more!
