Feliz Día del Padre a todo los Padres!

Fathers love hard & often have to do challenging actions to prove it!

Father’s Day has come and Joey & Armando picked two very unique Mexican films about fathers to discuss.

Joey discusses the wild Mexican horror-western hybrid El Extraño Hijo Del Sheriff (1986):

• A strong-armed sheriff has his conjoined twin sons separated and after one of them dies, very unusual & supernatural things begin to happen. Could the dead twin be haunting from the beyond? Or is the living twin doing all the evil deeds?

Armando then goes in to the top defining Trash-Mex film Ratas De La Ciudad (1986):

• After being unfairly separated from his son, a man named Pedro (Valentin Trujillo) goes through a brutal & desperate search for him. His son however has long forgotten about him & is now in a street gang that steal & kill with no mercy.

What could be the most vile Trash-Mex movies to watch on Mother’s Day? Well, we got two choices and both involve not so great mothers..

Ismael Rodriguez Jr takes on Psycho IV with a better version: Obsesión De Matar (1992)

• On a nightly talk radio show, a man nicknamed “Pepe” calls in to discuss his incestuous relationship with his mother that lead into “Matricide” & other brutal murders. The talk show host & guest are skeptical of the caller, but his dark story unfolds to something much more sinister & very personal to someone working on the show.

Second feature is Esclavas Del Sadismo (1994), a film that only someone like the late & forever great director Christian Gonzalez would make!

• An unusual mother lets her son make dirty films in the basement of their apartment building. Sleaze all around, even amongst the law.

• The most famous vedette from yesteryear & today Lyn May makes her film debut in “Tivoli (1975)”, a social drama about an aging theater on the verge of being torn down.

• 1980’s Mexican beauty pageant favorite turned actress Lina Santos shows her true acting talents in “La Diosa Del Puerto (1989)”, a gritty drama loosely based on “Le Port” by Guy de Maupassant.

Trash-Mex is for lovers!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and we discuss two 1990’s Mexican films about unrequited love & the consequences of infidelity.

Un Corazón Para Dos (1990) (A Heart for Two)

Bernardo(Pedro Fernandez) longs to be with his friend Valeria, but he never seems to have the courage to propose his love for her. When Valeria is told she will need a heart transplant to become well again and Bernardo running out of time from his own illness—he makes the ultimate sacrifice to prove his true love for her.

Mujeres Infieles (1995) (Unfaithful Women)

3 salacious tales of infidelity from directors Adolfo Martinez Solares & Gilberto Martinez Solares.

• Julieta (Lina Santos) tries to sneak in a gift from her lover Marcelo, but her plan might not exactly go as planned.

• When everyone around Clara (Claudia Vega) seems to have forgotten her birthday, she seeks attention from the man who’s working on her & her fiancée’s new apartment. An impulsive move that could lead to heavy consequences.

• Bored housewife Mariana (Elizabeth Katz) longs for companionship and responds to a personal ad from a charming man who might just be too good to be true. What was to be a small fling, becomes a bad time all-around for Mariana & her husband.

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)
