Replacing Chef Chico is Netflix’s latest buzzworthy Filipino title. It’s a cute little show about a female chef finding her footing in the male-dominated culinary world, but at the same time, it sheds light on a lot of other little troubles people face in their daily lives. Replacing Chef Chico is 8 episodes, 30 minutes each, with a lot of entertaining sub-plots that help push the main character’s story ahead. Chef Ella is the sous chef at the fine dining restaurant “Hain.” Her journey with Hain has been a long and tedious one because the head chef, Chico, likes to operate in a toxic environment, cussing all through the day and leaving his kitchen staff anxious.

Making movies can be fun, it can be as boring as watching paint dry, and, sometimes, it can be dangerous. And I'm not even talking about filming stunts where people are crawling under moving trucks or getting electrocuted by Old Testament ghosts and an angry God. There's lots of heavy equipment and dangerous, exotic locations that crew have to be mindful of when they're out of their element.
Case in point: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" cinematographer Douglas Slocombe and his penchant for constantly nearly yeeting himself off of cliffs and other large drops while making the iconic, whip-cracking adventure.
As recounted by director Steven Spielberg in a lengthy piece he wrote for American Cinematographer, Slocombe would get so caught up in looking for a shot that sometimes he'd lose track of his surroundings.
Slocombe was a well-known and well-respected British cinematographer and although he was in his sixties by...
