Three reasons why you should NOT listen to this episode:

• We wanted to talk about movies, but we ended up talking about Pinochet’s military dictatorship (though we did talk about movies too).
• The films we like are depressing, dark, perfect for when you're tired of existing.
• I barely edited this episode, so for now, this is the closest thing to a real conversation between two Chileans you’ll hear on this humble podcast.

Movies we talked about:

• Tony Manero (Pablo Larraín)
• El Club (Pablo Larraín)
• Casa Lobo (Cristóbal León & Joaquín Cociña)

Before you pack your bag, here’s the truth: it’s freezing in summer, and Chile isn’t the cheap backpacker paradise you think—especially in Patagonia. In this episode, we’ll tell you:

• Why you need to be ready for real hiking.
• The weather: it’s cold, even in summer.
• How much it’ll actually cost you.
• And the tourists causing chaos in the park: wildfires, trash, and more. Don’t be one of them.

If you’re not ready to respect the place, stay home. But if you are, hit play and get the real deal on Torres del Paine.

Would you take a picture holding an image of a killer and torturer?

You’d probably say no.

But what if Steven Spielberg does it, in front of millions?

At the 2022 Oscars, Spielberg posed with a doll of Ingrid Olderöck, one of the most cruel figures from the Chilean dictatorship. Some saw it as support for the short film Bestia, while others felt it was disrespectful to the victims of Pinochet’s regime.

So, where do we draw the line between art and history?

Stay with me in this episode, where I’ll tell you about Bestia, the Chilean short film about one of the most brutal women from Pinochet’s dictatorship.

Hello, Illuminati gringa, reptilian conspiracy theorist!

In this episode, I bring you a quick rundown on why everything we know about La Quintrala is probably just nonsense made up by the men of her time.

According to the less-than-honorable people who believe in the Ouija, La Quintrala is the spirit that appears most frequently when idle folks start summoning the dead to solve the problems of the living.

At least in Chile—of course, spirits also have geographical barriers.

Well, in this episode, I’ll tell you about the most wicked woman who lived in colonial Chile, so wicked that she lived in the 1600s, and to this day her story is associated with paranormal phenomena, unexplainable events, and of course... horror stories.
