Bill and Joey Medina (Original Latin Kings of Comedy, Latinpalooza, Real Rob) met at the Hollywood Laugh Factory about 12 years ago during "Latin night," but didn't really closely work together until lockdown, when Joey set out to make a short film which confronted racism, mortality, and "the N-word" in a dramatic and original way. Joey ended up writing "Beautiful Violence" and cast Bill, as well as friend of the pod, Eric Blake - who Bill recommended after hearing Eric's harrowing story on "The Afterlaugh" about running a national drug cartel. Currently, "Beautiful Violence" has gotten into 7 festivals and has even won awards. Monday, September 13th, it will make it's "theatrical debut" at the Pasadena International Film Festival.
