Eksklusibo at Eksplusibo: ‘90s Philippine Showbiz Throwback—with an Electrifying Twist!

Netflix Philippines has released a fun, nostalgic video featuring none other than Tito Boy Abunda to highlight the '90s throwback and throwbot themes found in THE ELECTRIC STATE.

In the clip, Tito Boy hosts a segment of Showbzz and takes viewers to a reimagined ‘90s entertainment world—where the lives of Filipino showbiz icons like Gladys Reyes, Claudine Barretto, and Raymund Marasigan (among others) are closely intertwined with and inspired by robots. This intriguing concept offers a fascinating glimpse into a world where humans and robots co-exist—a nod to the characters’ complex lives in Netflix’s newest sci-fi film THE ELECTRIC STATE.

About THE ELECTRIC STATE:

The Electric State is a spectacular adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead. Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.

THE ELECTRIC STATE Premieres globally on March 2025

Robots lost their freedom. Humans lost connection. 

An orphan, a smuggler, and a missing boy may be the key to saving everything.
