Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time.
Episode 6 was a great conversation with two humble giants of film history. Armando and Joey joined from Trash Mex Podcast. They are amazing ambassadors of Mexican cinema who spend a lot of time booking screenings and writing and promoting the movies they love.
We introduce Armando and Joey, review the VS films from Mexico, and cover the September releases from the mainline as well as VSA, VSL, and Distribpix.
One thing different, and I hope fun, that we tried was to come up with a double feature of each of the VS releases. The theme of the double feature is a movie from Mexico with a similar theme or plot. For easy reference, here are the double features that were chosen:
Howling II
- Colmillos, el hombro lobo by Rene Cardona III (1993)
Cruel Brittania- Hector Shayne (Multiple movies and TV shows)
- Mujeres de media noche (1990)
- La muerte del chacal (1984)
Eye for an Eye
- Navajeros (1980)
- Pistoleros Famosos (1981)
- El Fiscal de hierra (1989)
Blonde on a Bum Trip
- Los desvergonzados (1962)
I also have to thank Celeste de la Cabra who is now officially embedded as a segment host that pays homage to The Smiths while covering the hardcore titles from VS when they have more.
