In this episode, Rosa and Cat dive into Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín's select filmography including:

"Tony Manero" (2008)

50-something Raul Peralta (Alfredo Castro) goes to the same bar outside his native Santiago, Chile, and, with friends, dances to the hits from his favorite film, "Saturday Night Fever." When he gets wind of a TV contest seeking the best imitation of Tony Manero, the main character from the film, he becomes fixated on winning. But as Raul becomes involved in nefarious activities -- including murder -- to complete his Tony Manero transition, he puts his friends and himself at risk.

"Post Mortem" (2010)

In Chile, 1973, during the last days of Salvador Allende's presidency, an employee at a Morgue's recording office falls for a burlesque dancer who mysteriously disappears.

"No" (2012)

In 1988, international pressure comes to bear on Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, forcing him to call a referendum on his presidency. The country will vote either yes or no on extending Pinochet's rule for another eight years. Leaders of the "no" movement recruit Rene Saavedra (Gael García Bernal), a young advertising executive, to spearhead their campaign. With few resources and constant scrutiny by the dictator's minions, Saavedra and his team hatch a bold plan to win the election.

"No" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards.
