If You Haven't Seen It, It's New to You (full-color paperback edition)

"If You Haven't Seen It, It's New to You: The Movies and TV Shows Some of Us Regretted Not Catching Until Later," a collection of essays by Filipino American blogger J. John Aquino, is now available as both an e-book and a paperback. Unable to find another job in the Bay Area, the unemployed Aquino, a former arts reporter, kept himself busy by writing content for his two blogs. One blog, which poked fun at clothing that looks like "Star Trek" uniforms, had a following on Tumblr, while the other had zero readers and was, to Aquino, becoming much less enjoyable to write for than the accidental "Trek" uniform blog. The only thing he liked doing for the blog with zilch readers, a blog he later quit in 2017, was a series of posts about old movies he never saw until recently, like "Labyrinth" and the original "Conan the Barbarian." "If You Haven't Seen It, It's New to You" is a continuation of that series. From 2017 to the final year of Donald P. Tape's racist and atrocious presidency, Aquino continued writing his thoughts on older movies and shows he just saw for the first time, like "Lawrence of Arabia," "Playtime," MTV's "Daria," and the seven "Harry Potter" sequels, as well as his thoughts on newer things he wishes he was aware of when they first came out, like the 2016 Asian American hip-hop documentary "Bad Rap" and the hit show "Schitt's Creek." This book is the perfect guide to movies and shows you didn't stream or watch because you never had time for them, but thanks to the 'Rona, you now have all the time in the world to enjoy them. And this irreverent guide comes with recipes for movie and TV-related meals and cocktails too!
