Netflix released a special nostalgic video featuring host Boy Abunda as he takes a trip down memory lane for the sci-fi film “The Electric State.”
In the video, Abunda highlights the 90s throwback and throwbot themes found in “The Electric State.”
It shows Abunda hosting 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.

The intriguing concept offers a fascinating glimpse into a world where humans and robots coexist—a nod to the characters’ complex lives in Netflix’s newest sci-fi film “The Electric State.”
'90s icons like Jolina Magdangal , Alice Dixson , and Chito Miranda also posted similar Instagram posts.
“The Electric State” stars Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) 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), 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.
