(SPOT.ph) The only way a pandemic weekend could possibly be made better is if it's a rainy one. You know, so we can still be stuck indoors but hey, at least the weather's cool—because that means we can burrow under the blankets and binge-watch in extra comfort while it pours outside. For this weekend, Popcorn Pedro has some surefire picks for you to stream, whatever state of mind you're in. 

Put Popcorn Pedro's titles of what to watch on your weekend stream list:

Nevertheless,

Where to stream: Netflix

Popcorn Pedro says: If you like problematic male leads and relationships without labels, then this one's for you. Whoops, did that hit too close to home? Don't worry, this steamy drama softens the blow with its soft, fuzzy, adult-only scenes between two twenty-something college students who are both bad at love (but totally have the lovemaking part down). I wish I could say the slow gazes—yes, with the cheesy slow pan and fades—and mega-level skinship make me cringe, but Nevertheless, honestly does it in a way I can't help but unironically like.  Oh, and the story is pretty good too. Love or flirting? Way too relatable. We're so far five episodes deep but more Song Kang and Han So Hee content drops every weekend. 

Good Doctor (2013)

Where to stream: Netflix

Popcorn Pedro says: Are four seasons of the U.S. series The Good Doctor starring Freddie Highmore not enough streaming content for you? We got you. Allow us to direct your attention to the original South Korean series it was based on, of the same name, and also on Netflix. This high-stakes, uplifting drama about a savant doctor trying to prove himself first came out in 2013, with Joo Won as Park Si On, before being brought to the U.S. by Daniel Dae Kim. No lie. The original has 20 episodes with about an hour each—so you can probably watch the entire thing in one weekend, if you start now. Go!

Space Jam (1996)

Where to stream: HBO Go

Popcorn Pedro says: Space Jam: A New Legacy pretty much stole the ball from Black Widow in theaters—because yes, they can watch in cinemas in the U.S.—but before you even think about getting your grubby little hands on this far-off sequel, you best watch the original. Yes, I'm being that asshole. The Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny + Looney Tunes pals starrer has to be watched to be believed (and enjoyed). Whether you were a teenager during the dial-up Internet age or a teenager during the time of TikTok houses, I'm here for what's best for you, and right now it's this ultimate feel-good '90s gem.

Tenement 66

Where to stream: iWant TFC

Popcorn Pedro says: Babae at Baril mixed up painful and entertaining in a way that only director Rae Red could do—and Tenement 66 amps up the painful. "The idea was—how do you make Stranger Things in the slum area in the Philippines?”" she told NME Asia. What came from that idea is this dark tale of three neighborhood kids—played by Francine Diaz, Francis Magundayao, and Noel Comia Jr.—who find themselves way in over their heads after trying to steal from an old man. It's a home invasion gone very wrong. The thriller is up on iWant TFC and you can rent it for P249.
