In our final episode of the season we interview Palmira Muniz, an award-winning filmmaker, writer, media consultant, creative producer, and comedian who brings a unique lens to her work as a fat, queer, Afro-Boricua storyteller from Anaheim, CA, with roots in the Bronx.

This season we have focused on Latinas in horror the ways they're stereotyped but also how they embody monstrousness. In this episode we talk about those behind the cameras! 

Who doesn't love the norm breaking weirdos known as the Addams Family? In this episode we talk about them but specifically their dark and broody daughter, Wednesday! 

Who doesn't love a sexy vampire? In this episode we talk about one of the most common tropes of Latinas in the media - the vampire! 

In this episode we focus on the final girl! One of the most common horror tropes. 

We are back! After a very long break we have decided to come back with a 6 episode season. This season focuses on the relationship of Latines and horror. 

Hello! We are announcing that we are taking a bit of an extended break. Both of us have been quite busy lately (ugh responsibilities) and are tired. We have been working on this awesome project for a few years now but felt we were losing some steam. This break is meant to rejuvenate us! We love talking about monsters and would like to continue in the future.

Thank you to everyone who has listened to us! We seriously appreciate every single listener and supporter of this podcast! We still cannot believe people were interested in what we had to say. Special shout out to all of our Patreon supporters, who have really been amazing to us.

We will keep you posted on our social media channels and Brenda will continue to post on those once in a while.

Hasta luego Monstras!

In 1996 the future of the townspeople of Varginha, Brazil changed when a group of young girls claimed to have witnessed a very stinky alien! Brenda dives into the story of the supposed alien crash that occurred in Varginha and turned the town into the Roswell of Latin America.

Merry Christmas and hopefully you all avoided a visit from an alien!

Thousands of years ago the Maya sacrificed several adults and children in a cave. Left where their bodies fell, archaeologists have put together how they all died and why...

This episode is all about caves! Brenda talks about why she hates and loves caves and why this one in particular is so fascinating. 

Reminder this episode is from our patreon series, which was recorded earlier this year. We also chose to release two of Brenda's in a row but usually we do switch off!
