Pride Month hits the highway this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we move into our "B" selection, tackling Alfonso Cuarón’s sizzling, groundbreaking 2001 road movie, Y Tu Mamá También. It’s time to have a Charolastra Shooter - if you know you know - as we pack our bags and head out on a spontaneous Mexican road trip toward a fictional beach that might just change everything.

This week, we unpack the fluid, charged dynamics of the film's central trio: Diego Luna’s Tenoch, Gael García Bernal’s Julio, and Maribel Verdú’s captivating, enigmatic Luisa. We analyze how Cuarón treats sexuality not as a rigid label, but as an honest, evolving expression of youth, intimacy, and unspoken desire - culminating in that famously intense, barrier-breaking night that alters the boys' friendship forever. We also examine the film’s dual layers, looking at how the breathless, hormones-first journey of the characters contrasts with the narrator's melancholic observations about the shifting political and economic landscape of Mexico passing right outside their car windows.

If you love movies that blend raw, uninhibited coming-of-age energy with a deeply poetic sense of time and place, this episode is a must-listen. We’re blending our fascination with the film's complex character study with our usual casual banter, making this a brilliant, sun-soaked third chapter in our Pride Month celebration. Life is like surf, so give yourself away to the sea!
