Mel Brooks, Evangelion, & Hideo Kojima: The Comedy of Victor Villanueva

Did you know the “Patay Na Si Hesus” director is an OG-Weeb that he used to import VHS tapes of anime. Now his anime influence (and Hideo Kojima fandom) has influenced his films Kusina Kings, Lucid, and Patay Na Si Hesus, which is the first Cebuano Film to be shown on Netflix. All I really wanted to know was how he thought of that semen-cannibalism gag but I was very delighted to know that it all came from his anime and video game geekery. Find out about his influences, some fun tidbits about the film, and a cool comparison of Horizon Zero Dawn and Himala.***The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of Podcast Network Asia.
