“I think we’re more connected than we presume.”
That line from director Diane Ventura @mariadianeventura captures the quiet power of @eraserheadscomboontherun ERASERHEADS: COMBO ON THE RUN, a documentary that turns the story of Ely Buendia @elybumbilya, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, and Marcus Adoro into something deeply personal, painfully human, and unmistakably Filipino.
In our A BOOK OF interview, Ely and Diane talk about music as shared language, the difficulty of revisiting the past, and the courage it takes to find your way back to people who once helped shape your life.
For anyone who grew up with Eraserheads, their songs were never just songs. They were high school, college, friendship, longing, rebellion, comfort, and home. This film reminds us why we carried them for so long, and why their story still matters now.

DARREN BARNET @darrenbarnet is not interested in being trapped inside one version of himself.
From Never Have I Ever to Chicago Med, and now as Dr. John Frost, Darren is building a career around characters who arrive with charm, but stay with you because of what they are trying not to reveal. After the latest Chicago Med finale, Frost feels like a man standing between old pain and a new version of himself.
In our A BOOK OF conversation, Darren opens up about fame, ego, accountability, identity, and the kind of roles that scare him in the right way.

BENJAMIN LEVY AGUILAR @benjaminlevyaguilar understands that toughness is easy to perform, but truth is harder to fake.
As Officer Dante Torres on Chicago P.D., he plays a man shaped by faith, guilt, loyalty, and the long road toward self-forgiveness. After the latest Season 13 finale, “Born or Made,” that emotional weight feels even sharper, especially for a character still learning how to turn survival into clarity.
In our A BOOK OF conversation, Benjamin speaks with the kind of openness that stays with you. He talks about his childhood in Guatemala, the discipline of soccer, the power of speaking Spanish, and the freedom that comes when you stop being loyal to the version of yourself you created just to survive.

On Chicago Fire, Sal Vasquez walks into Firehouse 51 with confidence, secrecy, and a past that refuses to stay quiet. For BRANDON LARRACUENTE @brandonlarracuente, that was exactly the point.
After a Season 14 finale that left Firehouse 51 facing one of its most explosive cliffhangers yet, Brandon’s take on Sal feels sharper, deeper, and more human. “He is who he is, unapologetically, whether you like him or not,” he says of a character built less for approval and more for survival.
In our A BOOK OF interview, Brandon talks about stepping into Sal’s courage, learning from sports, trusting the crew around him, and finding the kind of roles that ask more from him than charm.

@wilsonbethel understands that the best villains are never just villains.
With Bullseye in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, he gives the MCU a character who can change the temperature of a story the second he walks into the room. By the Season 2 finale, Dex is no longer just a weapon pointed at Hell’s Kitchen. He feels like a question the MCU has not yet fully answered, one built on brokenness, control, revenge, and the possibility that redemption can be just as dangerous as ruin.
Wilson told us, “I think we all are full of contradictions,” and that may be the key to why his Bullseye works so well. He does not ask us to forgive Dex. He makes us understand why we cannot look away.

@wilsonbethel understands that the best villains are never just villains.
With Bullseye in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN, he gives the MCU a character who can change the temperature of a story the second he walks into the room. By the Season 2 finale, Dex is no longer just a weapon pointed at Hell’s Kitchen. He feels like a question the MCU has not yet fully answered, one built on brokenness, control, revenge, and the possibility that redemption can be just as dangerous as ruin.
Wilson told us, “I think we all are full of contradictions,” and that may be the key to why his Bullseye works so well. He does not ask us to forgive Dex. He makes us understand why we cannot look away.
