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.

The Electric State Trailer Unveils a Robotic Universe on Netflix

Imagine an alternate 1990s where humanity has clashed with sentient robots—think cartoonish mascots and branded machines gone rogue—and emerged victorious, only to retreat into a virtual haze of their own making. That’s the world of The Electric State, Netflix’s latest big-budget sci-fi flick directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the duo behind Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. The movie is said to be one of the priciest films ever made for streaming, boasting a star-studded cast led by Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.

The story follows Michelle (Brown), a tough-as-nails orphaned teen who’s lost her family to a war between humans and robots. One night, a mysterious, toy-like robot named Cosmo shows up, hinting that her long-presumed-dead brother, Christopher, might still be alive. With Cosmo in tow, Michelle hits the road across a retro-futuristic American Southwest littered with rusting robotic relics. Along the way, she teams up with Keats (Pratt), a cocky smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). Their mission? Unravel a conspiracy tied to a tech mogul, Ethan Skate (Stanley Tucci), whose Neurocaster technology—a VR headset that lets humans upload their minds into drones—has left society hooked and hollow.

The Electric State is now streaming on Netflix.
