The final chapter in our slasher-themed episode and we have sliced up 2 actual Mexican slasher films:

La Venganza Del Silla De Ruedas: La Proxima Victima (1993)

• Fernando Almada is bound to a wheelchair after a car accident that was caused by his psychotic/angry wife who can’t get over her daughter’s death & dresses her son as a girl. When the son gets older, he shows signs of deep anger just like his mother & holds on to women’s dresses. Could he be the killer? Or could it be someone else close by?

Orgia Sangrienta (1991)

• A psycho in a blonde wig, white nightgown and an axe proceeds to kill off a group of young friends one by one in a big house.

And Elias Leonardo of the Cinéfilos en apuros podcast joins us for the last stab with his thoughts on Orgia Sangrienta (1991). (In Spanish)

Well of course there are Mexican slasher films, but several titles that are labeled “slashers” aren’t even really slashers at all!

In the 2nd of 4 part episodes of “Oye Bro ¿Es Un Slasher?”, hosts Armando & Joey stab into:

Pesadilla Fatal aka El Intruso (1991)

• 80’s mexican pop sensation Tatiana stars as a blind girl being stalked by her father’s killer who’s weapon of choice is a finger-knife glove.

Masacre En El Bosque (1996)

• A group of friends head out to a forest home for a fun weekend, but it quickly becomes a deadly weekend instead when 2 bloodthirsty psychopaths are on the loose! One is an escaped mental patient and the other has very close ties to the forest home.

Speaking of multiple psychos! Henry Silva & Nathan Valiente join in on the bloodbath with their thoughts on both films & pick out which one is slasher and which is not.

Well of course there are Mexican slasher films, but several titles that are labeled “slashers” aren’t even really slashers at all!

In the 1st of 4 part episodes of “Oye Bro ¿Es Un Slasher?”, hosts Armando & Joey slash into:

Panico En El Bosque (1990)

• set in a national park (or Bosque De Chapultepec), a killer is terrorizing park-goers and other troubles go on in the forest as well. The unseen vagrant killer seems to be protective of children & wants to keep any kind of trouble out of the park.

Bosque De Muerte (1993)

• a group of young adults head out for a weekend trip to the secluded forest home of “Silvia”, who hasn’t been at the home since her mother died under mysterious circumstances and is estranged from her father. Just when the trip seems to be going normal, a storm suddenly hits & someone is stalking the group and one by one they end up killed. Silvia & her childhood friend/forest ranger “El Jaguar” must try to find a way to escape the killer.

And to make the executions of these 2 films even more tasteful, we invited Lance & Erica of the Unsung Horrors podcast with a pre-recording of their thoughts on the films.

To celebrate the independence of Mexico (Mexican Independence Day 09/16), hosts Armando & Joey discuss films that are set in the Mexican home states where their families are from.

• Joey discusses the action-packed crime film “Mafia De Nuevo Laredo (1991)”, which was filmed & set in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas.

The second film is the gritty, deep-cut Chili Western “Los Marcados (1971)”, set in Chicomostoc, Zacatecas. Stars legendary Mexican singer & actor Antonio Aguilar.

• Armando discusses the regional crime obscurity “Las 12 Tumbas (1990)”, filmed & set in Tlalpujahua, Michoacán (we say the city name wrong at first, sorry).

And lastly, the very musical & light on plot “Caminos De Michoacán (1979)” is also discussed. Filmed in various cities around Northern California & Uruapan, Michoacán.

Hosts Armando & Joey discuss two Mexican Border films of the past that are relevant to today’s political climate surrounding immigration in the United States.

Joey discusses “Mojados (1979)”: A film starring Jorge Rivero as a man who infiltrates the group of bigots behind the mass murder of Mexican immigrants who crossed over into the Rio Grande Valley. Based on the historical Bracero Program between the US & Mexico from 1942-1964.

Armando discusses “El Vagon De La Muerte (1988)”: A group of Mexican immigrants head out to the USA in a boxcar which leads to very disturbing & tragic events. Based on a real event that occurred in 1987.

Fuck ICE.

No Human Is “Illegal” on Stolen Land.

The Trash-Mex Podcast gets strange (or even more so) with a couple of films that truly warped our minds!

We begin with Hermelinda Linda (1984), a peculiar & colorful horror-comedy based on a popular Mexican comic book character. Joey breaks down the film & its intriguing background.

Then we get really drunk (not literally) with Las Caguamas Ninjas (1991), a videohome that drunkenly parodies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with pot-bellied comedic actors wearing cheap costumes & doing bad karate moves with broomsticks.

What is a “videohome” anyway? Armando chimes in on what the so-called Mexican home video “phenomenon” of the 1990’s-2000’s was really about.
