Lost In Postulation

19. ¡Viva México! 🇲🇽


Listen Later

Kicking things off with the usual Mundane Postulation, Nicola and Neil attempt to solve the eternal breakfast debate once and for all: sweet or savoury (3:00)? We shout out our breakfast cereal GOATs and extoll, once again, the endless virtues of eggs.


From there we're back with the third installment of our world-famous Pop Culture Country Tier List (13:46). This time we take our first trip across the Atlantic for a deep dive into Mexico — from the food, to the films, to the fiestas. We start with a look at the perhaps underrated world of Mexican film (18:12), checking in on the all-time great Mexican directors as well as the on-screen stars both past and present. From there it's onto sport (31:46), where we celebrate the legacy of Lucha Libre and the Mexican sports heroes at the pinnacle of their respective fields.


Next up is music (41:47), where mariachi naturally takes centre-stage along with Carlos Santana. We swing by Mexican literature (49:50) before gorging on all the tacos, enchiladas and tequila we can manage (51:50), and we wrap things up with our final wildcard segment, all about Mexico's unique brand of national celebrations (1:00:52).


As ever, you can connect with us through our twitter account @InPostulation and via email [email protected]. Feedback, questions and postulations all very welcome!
