American Latinostalgia

Today we mourn the loss of an era, where cereal was king, especially on Saturday mornings. Everyone had a cereal in the 80's an 90's including TMNT, the WWF and the Super Mario Bros. We also speak about cereals in Mexico and clowns. Secretly, this is just an episode for my parents to listen to and one day explain to me why they insisted on buying Con Fleis all the time.

You into vulgarity, excitement, history and cultural landscape shifts? Puppies? Find out how the WWF/ WWE Attitude Era revolutionized professional wrestling and how it introduced cool changes for women and Latino wrestlers. Oh, it's true! Sprinkled in with some silly stories from my youth in Mexico, viva la raza!

On the heels of Wrestlemania weekend, we look at how professional wrestling came to be so big. The role of WWF and Lucha Libre in the early 1980's and how I got in trouble in school. Hulk Hogan, Andy Kaufman, Vince McMahon and MTV helped too.

We’re so excited!  We’re so excited!  Our first Bonus Episode! You voted on the first episode and here it is. Watch along in real time as we talk about  the infamous Saved By the Bell episode “Jessie’s Song” (S3E9).  Kind of a cool commentary track from someone who is not too familiar with the show. Caffeine pills are still drugs right? Remember, Just Say No! 

Saturday evenings were a little different for us. We literally got to experience history with Don Francisco, Javier, La Cuatro and product placement.  Isn't 1980's and 1990's television nostalgia the best? Sabado Gigante is a real institution, kinda miss it tbh.  Que dice el Publico?

In tise first episode of Season 2, we use a painful childhood regret to talk about BARNEY!  Barney the purple dinosaur was a sensation in the pop culture scene during the 90's.  Unfortunately, Barney & Friends brought more than love, catchy songs and imagination to the public it brought... edgelords.  

Happy Hanukkah Marv!  We close out Season 1 with a show on nostalgic Christmas Commercials.  Listen to jingle jangle about snow, running away, possible improper sibling relationships. Flinstones and Jesus, and an evil ginger kid.  Merry Christmas, happy holidays.  Santa is watching!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Listen to my wacky relationship with this holiday and how confused I was as a bi-cultural kid.  Also we talk about family metiche dynamics, old people on Facebook, Black Friday, Clapbacks and Pretty Pretty Princess.   

Back in the 1980's and 1990's, Halloween memories happened at school, while trick or treating or maybe at Mc Donald's with a McBoo pail.  Did any one of you also channel surf for Halloween episodes of shows like a spooky dork?  No? Oh. me neither. 

Just as we were working on this episode, we got major viral  breaking news this week from Mc Donald's Halloween pails.  We aso talk about the best Halloween commercials and Elvira and Spud McKenzie and Psycho.
