FILMTALK w POPCORNX 1.11.2021


(Randomly) Grabbed a stack of DVDs this Monday morning, November 1st, 2021, and intend to go on #InstagramLive on instagram.com/toysrevil to chat "movies" at 11AM (+8 GMT / Singapore time).

Not necessarily a "review", but casual chatting and sharing about the films I have, my experiences with them and of course, my personal impressions. First time I'm doing this too, and I plan to go in "cold", without researching them beforehand, and will pull it all out of my own a... Hear y'all soon!

(These are Not For Sale, cheers)

UPDATED: Currently watchable on my IGTV-page (Embed below via), in p[lace of when I post the recording on a more "embeddable-friendly" YouTube-video, cheers :)
