Ep.14: The Pest


Listen Later

The Cine Papis are back digging into The Pest (1997), the chaotic cult-favorite comedy starring John Leguizamo at peak 90s energy. The guys break down how this movie blends cartoon logic, slapstick, and Latino identity into something that feels like a live-action Looney Tunes, while asking the big question: is The Pest misunderstood genius or just unhinged nonsense? From Leguizamo's rapid-fire characters and accents to the wild villain, questionable jokes, and why this movie hit different for Latino kids growing up, the Papis unpack the legacy, the backlash, and the nostalgia factor.
