    Twinnings Ep #15 - The Fantasy Trap: When Life Doesn’t Match the Aesthetic
    2025/10/26

    This week, Anne and Georgie fall face-first into the delulu abyss, where K-drama love stories meet real-life emotional unavailability and “dream jobs” turn out to be mostly emails and caffeine.

    We’re breaking down how we all learned to romanticize everything. From relationships to career goals, and how Maslow’s hierarchy got dragged into the conversation somehow. Because apparently, self-actualization is harder than it looks when you’re just trying to answer Teams messages and remember your love language.


    It’s an episode for anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, “Wait… this isn’t what the montage promised.”


    This Week’s Reminder:
    Maybe self-actualization isn’t a mountain you climb. Maybe it’s the nap you finally let yourself take.

    Twin Energy. Slightly Offbeat.
    Come for the laughs, stay for the mild existential crisis. (The hosts cried)

    Twinnings Ep #12 - Are We the New “Boomers”? – The Millennial vs Gen Z Narrative
    2025/10/05

    So… have Millennials officially become the “back in my day” generation?

    From side hustles and burnout to activism gaps and Gen Z rolling their eyes at our texts, we’re untangling what it really means to grow up between dial-up internet and TikTok dances.

    Expect laughs, chaos, and slightly offbeat reflections on life stages, Filipino family vibes, and why every generation eventually becomes that generation.

    Twinnings EP #11 - Heto Nanaman Tayo Eh: Annoying Anime Tropes That Make Us Want to Skip Episodes (or just Drop the Anime)
    2025/09/28

    Georgie and Anne rants about anime trope pet peeves that make us groan, cringe, or seriously consider dropping the show.

    Full-on, unfiltered, and slightly chaotic.

    From miscommunication disasters to demon king drama, plus those Why-Is-The-Entire-Plot-In-The-Title anime moments…

    We’re serving: Twin energy. Slightly offbeat.

    Come for the laughs, stay for the rage.

    Animes That Tested Our Patience
    (consider this your rage-watch starter pack. Google n'yo nalang pero search at your own peril 🔍🔥)

    • Mo Dao Zu Shi (first few episodes struggle)
    • No Doubt in Us (so stiff, send help)
    • Lord of Mysteries (the one that actually served)
    • Heaven’s Official Blessing (also served 💅)

    • Dragon Ball Z (Anne’s honorable mention)
    • One Punch Man (at least he trained for it!)
    • Mashle (he trained too, okay)
    • The Devil is a Part-Timer
    • Blood Lad
    • That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
    • The Beginning After the End
    • Mr. Queen (it’s a K-drama, but same trope)
    • Villainess Reincarnations (blanket mention—list too long, sorry 😅)
    • Cry, Even Better If You Beg (yes, it’s as wild as the title)
    • Food Wars (explicit food reacts 🍳)
    • High School DxD (PWP? basically)
    • Toradora! (Ryuuji vs. Kitamura showdown)
    • Kimi ni Todoke
    • Komi Can’t Communicate
    • Wotakoi (minimal miscommunications, bless)
    • Kamisama Kiss (reverse harem vibes)
