Nobody expected "Gameboys" to be a massive success. The IdeaFirst Company, the team behind the show, only wanted to give jobs to their employees by making quality content during the pandemic. But it became a hit. After its successful run online, it was picked up by Netflix, it made its TV premiere on GMA's Heart of Asia channel, and now it has a movie and an upcoming second season. Elijah Canlas and Director Ivan Payawal join us in this episode to talk about the show's success, the struggles they faced during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reasons why the Boys' Love genre is here to stay. This interview was recorded on August 13, 2021.
