61: GOOD LUCK, BABE | Feng Shui (2004), When Good Luck Has a Price When it rains, it pours—both in good luck and death, if Feng Shui is to be trusted. This episode, we recount one of the most epic and beloved horror films in the Philippines, Feng Shui, released in 2004, directed by Chito S. Roño and starring the queen of block-buster horror herself, Kris Aquino. When the Lunar New Year comes, everyone’s concerned with bringing in the most luck and prosperity, but what would you do if it came with a price? Join us for a truly wild ride as we follow one woman’s journey through amazing luck and success, followed by devastating consequences. Follow us through a Final Destination-esque romp through the Chinese Zodiac, figure out who makes it to the end, and learn what Feng Shui and the cryptic bagua mirror is actually used for. We hope you’re strapped for a long drive or a cozy night in, because this one’s a doozy! — The Gods Must Be Crazy is a podcast on Philippine Mythology hosted by friends Anama Dimapilis and Ice Lacsamana, avid mythology nerds and semi-professional gossips.

In celebration of our Singapore Writer's Festival Panel, Here Be Dragons: The Magical Beasts of Southeast Asia, we are re-airing our Dragonlore episode! Welcome, new friends! :) EPISODE 9: IMAGINE DRAGONS | Bakunawa (The Moon-Eating Dragon of Philippine Myth) You’ve seen them in blockbuster movies like Shang-Chi and epic fantasy TV shows like Game of Thrones, but did you know that we have our own mythical dragons (yes, dragons plural) in Philippine Mythology? In this episode, we tackle the majestic Bakunawa and their dragon cousins around the islands. We also learn about pre-colonial calendars, astronomy, and how our ancestors decided which month it made sense to build a house.
