Goal! Oh, wait, we didn't win. But at least you
have something to listen to after that game.
Welcome to the Trash Mix podcast. And, you know,
you already know who I am. I'm Rondo, and that's
Joey over here. What up, what up, what up? And,
yeah, so if you guys aren't aware, Mexico didn't
win last game. So, sorry. What a fucking heartbreaker
that shit was, dude. I was fucking... I mean,
I don't know why I had a feeling they were going...
It was just, like, in the back of my mind, I'm
like, what if they do this? And I'm like, nah,
I'm thinking too wrong. And then I was like,
fuck, it was just it was just weird because I
felt like for the first time in a really long
time, it felt like Mexico. legitimately had a
chance there was a yeah there was like a lot
of hope right there yeah everyone was in the
spirit you saw that everywhere the country was
united if which felt like for the first time
in a long time you know downtown santa ana was
going crazy i mean everywhere was going crazy
the watch parties in la were fucking crazy remember
the universal city walk yeah the city walk one
some uh fools were getting blasted at the korea
town one the korea mexico game was like tensions
were high in LA it was like yeah everyone was
just it was wild man and then yeah I know but
you know you're and you're listening to this
the day after the final so we have no idea who's
gonna win I mean it's probably gonna be France
or Argentina um I know which is which is why
because it you know FIFA of course doing what
FIFA does is rigging the games to make sure that
the the two highest ranked teams always fucking
make it to the finals That was some bullshit.
Argentina should have lost to Egypt. That was
crazy. Yeah. I mean, I didn't keep up after that.
I mean, the day Mexico lost, I haven't really
been keeping up. My heart can't take it. I don't
think I can. So then I was just like, you know
what? I'm going to watch some movies with soccer.
So that's when I told Joey, Joey, let's do an
episode on soccer movies. Got to uplift the spirit
somehow. So yeah, we picked. Two good ones. One
being really good, actually. One that's very,
very, very amazing. Yeah, revered all over Mexico
for sure. And another one that's like pretty
well known. It's a little quirky little movie,
which also has a small connection to this first
movie we're going to talk about. And yeah, so
what's the first movie we're talking about? So
the first one we're talking about is El Chido
Juan Tacos de Oro. Yeah, that's a great title.
Amazing title. For those who don't know what
tacos are, we're not talking about the food.
In Mexico, your cleats are called your tacos.
So that's why it's called the golden cleats.
But before we talk about that, we invited a special
guest to do a little bit of an introduction for
the listeners. And it is in Spanish, so if you
don't speak Spanish, just listen to it anyways.
Don't skip because we're actually, you're going
to be listening to, you know. very sincere memories
of this movie being made and the people who made
it through the memories of a 9 year old girl
and of course that's going to be the daughter
of writer and director Alfonso Arau and Laura
Esquivel which, you know, they're known for collaborating
for, you know, quite some time in their career.
And they, of course, like Water for Chocolate
is their number one hit. But she was kind enough
to agree to come and do a little bit of an introduction
for us. So that's going to play right now. And
then me and Armando are going to take over after
that introduction. In este mundo tan conflictivo.
Y con todo gusto y con todo cariño a ustedes.
Y que los considero mis amigos. Pues bueno, sí,
mi post, como ustedes lo pueden ver, contiene
una nostalgia muy tierna. Espero no ponerme a
llorar porque llevan dos veces que hago esta
grabación y no logro terminar por las lágrimas,
pero pues ahí les va. Yo tenía nueve años. En
el Mundial de México 86 tenía diez años. Entonces
cuando se hizo la película supongo tenía nueve
años. Y fue la primer película que tuve la suerte,
el destino de ver el proceso creativo de mi mamá
con Alfonso Arau. Creo que ya habían hecho cosas
juntos, pero creo que en ese momento inició con
Con mucha más fuerza y más claridad hacia lo
que terminarían haciendo. Y Chido One surgió,
llegó el guión, la oferta de hacer el guión y
dirigir la película en un momento en que estábamos
en una crisis económica. Acabamos de regresar
de Nueva York, donde vivimos un año. Decidieron
tomar la oportunidad porque era lo único que
nos quedaba, ¿no? Y con el riesgo de no ser dueños
de la película porque el productor era independiente.
Pero pues se aventaron. Mi mamá escribió el guión,
yo creo que en dos o tres meses, cuando mucho,
o menos. And I remember with a lot of affection
that in the last few days Armando Vega Gil from
La Botellita de Jerez arrived because he helped
translate the dialogues of the Chavos Banda to
his language, which he of course handled. y creo
que eso la hace todavía más genial, ¿no? Porque
es muy auténtica, muy respetuosa. Y por supuesto,
cuando descubrí esa publicación y vi la foto
de Alejandra Peniche, pues, ¡ay, no! Ahí me vinieron...
se me vinieron tantos recuerdos agolpados, muy
lindos. Yo, Alejandra Peniche, ella era la antagonista
y era una rubia, una vedette, una cabaretera
con un look de... Like Christian Bach's hairstyle,
right? The Christian Bach hairstyle that was
very fashionable at that time. But adapted to
her, her face. And, well, she was always dressed
the way I wanted to dress. At nine years old,
like a cabaret girl with gloves and that. And
then, to me, that seemed quite attractive. And
it was like... Now I think it was my first girl
crush. No, I mean, because I... His perfume put
me, güey. I mean, I passed Alejandra and I was
like... I smelled her and I was like, no way.
I mean, yes. And when I saw her do it... All
that day that... They did the scene of... del
Tugurio, donde cantaba Alejandra, la mujer del
puerto. Yo vi toda esa escena y no, yo me sentía
en el Marrakech, de verdad, este día volé por
los cielos mientras la vi hacer la escena. The
design of the image is something that, to this
day, seems great and unique to me. And also the
look of the film was based on the movies of charros
against gangsters, but it was punks. Contra gangsters,
¿no? Y una mezcla entre... Entonces el look de
todos los personajes era una mezcla entre el
punk más de esa época en México mezclado con
los años 40, ¿no? Con las películas de esos años
y es... The impressive look of each of the boys,
the band, of all the characters was done by Marco
Rosado, who is a poet. And that was so engraved
in me that even later I started to make clothes
inspired by women. in women in movies, in wonderful
actresses that I have admired all my life. Like
Gabriela Roel, who is another woman who in another
register completely is... is imposing, is pretty,
seductive, strong. And also with the look that
she brought from Chava Banda. punk, this, no,
no, yes, yes, it awakened very, very, very strong
passions, this, and that was, that, well, sometimes
it was dangerous, because like that, strong,
you can see it in any movie. la gran actriz que
es. Y bueno, ese tema de la decisión de rodar
ahí, y pues yo como te lo cuento como una niña
de nueve años, pues sí me abrió la cabeza en
el sentido que And they explained to me, my mom
is an educator, so they explained to me very
well what the social conditions were that led
to people living in these conditions. And how
they were actually a community that took care
of themselves. And the first person I met, Lo
tengo en mi corazón, querido Apache, por siempre,
porque ya falleció. Pero recuerdo el día que
lo conocí yo, con miedo, ¿no? Y llegó recién
bañado. Era un chavo banda. Llegó recién bañado,
de verdad. Hizo un esfuerzo por llevar sus mejores
trapos. traía, me acuerdo que olía sus manos,
olían a palmolive, ese jabón palmolive que se
hacía en los ochentas, y la ternura con la que
saludó a mi madre, el respeto, ¿no? A mi madre,
la ternura con la que me saludó, siempre, siempre
lo guardé en mi corazón, porque además, He was
so generous and he got involved so much that
I think, if it's not my memory of nine years,
that he ended up working in Rocotitlán first
as security and then, I think, I hope I'm not
lying, it was Rodi from Boteita Jerez. No sé,
pero me acuerdo, lo que sí me acuerdo es que
cada vez que yo llegaba a Rocopitlán, lo primero
que recibía era un abrazo del apache. Con tanto
cariño, con... Y pues no recuerdo cuándo fue
la última vez que lo vi, pero te quiero mucho
pinche apache por siempre. Y bueno, también...
I also appreciate having had the opportunity
to be a witness and that they made me know that
I was watching Wolf Rubinsky work, who is a legend
of Mexican cinema. Mario Almada, who is another
legend. Lo que yo vi de ellos en ese momento
del set, que a mí me enseñaron que era muy importante,
era la mística, el respeto por tu trabajo, por
el trabajo de los otros. Mario Almada era un
hombre de primera que estaba sentado sin hacer
ningún problema, llegaba con sus líneas perfectas.
Y un día recuerdo en particular una escena que
me... Fue, supongo, la primera escena que Arau
me hizo a un lado y me dijo, mira, quise que
estuvieras aquí porque él es Wolf Rubinsky, es
un actor, y él... Él no quiere que se sepa y
quiero que tú no lo digas, pero él tiene cáncer
y está luchando contra el cáncer en este momento,
pero tiene mucho dolor. Y ve cómo está sentado
sin quejarse, sin pedir una silla especial, sin
pedir ni un vaso de agua, listo para... con sus
diálogos bien aprendidos para hacer una escena
incluso que involucraba un movimiento una acción
en el movimiento que le dolía hizo la escena
en una toma y yo creo que eso es algo que tener
en mi memoria es un regalo bien bonito de la
vida y y bueno Finally, now that I'm 50 years
old, and after divorcing my partner, I've learned
to find a very tender place. de la relación de
mi mamá con Arau, que fue ese momento, ¿no? Donde,
con él, cuando se estrenó la película, fuimos
al cine solitos los tres a ver qué pasaba, y
como la mitad de la película mi mamá empezó a
llorar. And I got really scared. And Alfonso
was completely decomposed. And at that moment
I didn't understand it. But until now that I've
grown and that I've worked, that I've done my
own cinematographic projects, what had happened
is that... El productor, sin decirles nada y
sin autorización previa, reeditó la versión que
dejó Alfonso Arau como edición Director Scott,
digamos. Lo reeditó, cambió escenas, las reacomodó,
en fin, desarmó una estructura que fue finalmente
hilada por... por las manos de mi madre y ahora
veo a la distancia su dolor y que yo he sentido
también creo que todos los que hemos trabajado
en el cine lo hemos sentido alguna vez este dolor
de ver tu creación, tu bebé. Pues lastimado.
Pero recuerdo hoy mi mamá le comenté con emoción.
Ella también le dio mucha emoción. Me dijo, me
recordó que con el dinero que ella recibió como
guionista, se compró un bocho azul que le llamamos
el Chido One. Y pues me llevaba a la escuela
todos los días porque mi mamá siempre, desde
que yo tengo memoria, tuvo un pocho azul. Y en
ese, mi mamá me sacó adelante con tres trabajos
y me llevaba a la escuela y me recogía o me llevaba
a casa a mis abuelos. Y fue un símbolo muy hermoso
el pocho azul de mi mamá. Y también compraron
un terreno en Tepoztlán porque también tenían
el sueño de algún día poder dejar la ciudad y
como todos los chilangos tenemos. Y yo ahí ya
tenía como 12 años. Y entonces el ejercicio consistía
en... Y yo me enojaba muchísimo porque yo prefería
estar con mis amigas. Pero bueno, irnos con unas
tortas que hacía mi mamá a sentarnos en el pasto
porque no había nada. Con las vacas que yo me
ponía como loca. Sentarnos cada quien en sus
respectivos cuartos, ¿no? Imaginar cómo iba a
ser la casa. Imaginar. Cómo iba a ser el amanecer
desde nuestras respectivas ventanas. Y eso me
parece tan poético y tan necesario en estos momentos
como humanos regresar a esos momentos que no
teníamos un celular en la mano. And we sat down
to wait, to imagine a new dawn that was going
to come. And it was going to be very beautiful.
And how beautiful, how nice to share it with
you. I'm almost crying, but I'm at your service
with all my love. Sandra Arau Esquivel. Wow.
Amazing. um so let's get into it okay tacos de
oro if you were listening you know to that introduction
by sandra shout out to sandra thank you again
you know she's a friend of the show listener
so yeah she's such a great you know fan of the
show so i was really happy that she agreed to
like be part of it and very and very uh um like
i said sincere and heartfelt memories of of yeah
it felt very personal yeah it wasn't just her
talking about is like actually like Real deep
personal memories of her being a part of that
movie. Absolutely. Let's get into it. Tacos de
Oro, El Chilo Juan. Or Chilo Juan, I should say.
Chilo Juan. 1986, as I said, directed by Alfonso
Arau, who, of course, is a very well -known Mexican
filmmaker. Written by Laura Esquivel. his wife
at the time, who, of course, wrote the novel
Como Agua Para Chocolate, like Water for Chocolate,
which eventually turns into the movie a couple
years later. I think it was 91 or 92 or something
like that. Or maybe a little bit after because
I think the novel came out in 89. So I think
it was like 93, something like that. But this
movie is before Water for Chocolate for sure.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Which is crazy. I know,
right? And so this starts off as a, you know.
What am I trying to say here? I'm discombobulated.
So the movie itself is about a poor guy in kind
of a shady area of Mexico City. I mean, as you
can see, the town is all jacked up and stuff.
Yeah, it's like in the outskirts and they have
like makeshift homes even. Yeah, it looks like
little shanty homes and stuff. But, you know,
I think the heart of this movie is basically,
I mean, so you think about it, this movie comes
out May of 1986. which is, and it was actually
two weeks before the tournament, the World Cup
started in 86, which originally wasn't even going
to happen in Mexico. It was supposed to be in
Colombia. Mexico just ended up getting the bid
because Colombia backed out. And, you know, so
naturally. Didn't they make a movie out of this
thing, I think? Did they? Like a Netflix? Oh,
the recent Netflix one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was
about to say, I don't remember that. I just remember
that. Yeah, they made like a movie about how
that happened. Was that like Diego Luna's in
it or something? I don't know. I don't know.
But, yeah, I mean, they didn't even – so Mexico
didn't even qualify for the 1982 World Cup. So
they were already – like the national team was
already on the downfall. 86, of course, the host
country gets to participate. The thought behind
it is, let's make a movie to capitalize on the
upcoming World Cup. It's shot in 1985, and it's
a rags -to -riches story. It's every Mexican
kid's dream to be part of the national team.
The story goes that Chilo Juan, his name in the
movie is Gabriel, but his hood name is Chilo
Juan. is like the fucking the local celebrity
soccer players like the a beast you know yeah
they literally like praise him everywhere in
the neighborhood they're just like he's the best
he's the best he's the best rightfully so i mean
they all just keep saying you know everyone everyone
has like that one local kid who's just like a
beast at the at the whatever sport he is as everyone's
like i hope he makes it pro you know um and that's
essentially what this story is is this kid getting
finally getting a chance to be invited as a sub
to the national team. It stars Mario Almada,
who needs no introduction. If you've been listening
to the show, you know who Mario Almada is. I
got a message asking me, so is he like a Chuck
Norris? I was like, yeah, pretty much, but better.
Chuck Norris is an action star. Mario Mala was
an actor. Exactly. Exactly. But that's the thing.
I think people always associate Mario Mala with,
like, the narco movies about the seras and stuff.
Which, you know, he did a lot of those, but he
was well -rounded. I mean, he did arthouse movies.
He did dramas, you know, comedies. His heart
was more for the action and that stuff. Well,
I'll give him that, though. His heart was for
that stuff. But he was always open -minded, though.
He got whatever he could do. yeah you're gonna
pay me i'll be in whatever movie you need me
to be in it's just it just can't be something
about gays i remember that's like one thing he
says like i can't be a gay guy you know he was
a macho guy still so you know yeah mexico still
struggles with homophobia so it's no surprise
that it's a leading macho man of the 70s i'll
do anything i'll play anything but i can't play
a gay guy what a shame i feel like he would have
killed it as a game too but that's neither here
nor there but here he's like a mixture of like
everything that he's ever played though if anything
he's like a father figure he's like this like
you know he's like a kind of an old school guy
you know he fights you know he's not like someone
that just backs down like he's willing to fight
no matter what you know yeah and i think that's
at the heart of his character too because um
you know he's an ex -soccer player or futbolista
you know we'll call it football just for the
sake of the world cup but um you know he's an
ex -footballer who uh you know he's disabled
now because of a car accident yeah um and he
just ends up going to this little neighborhood
to to basically work i mean that's you know he's
he's post a professional career so he's just
out here working um and just happens to stumble
upon chilo juan who it plays in his neighborhood
so he sees the potential right away he's like
okay yeah this kid's good he's like you know
he's like the the typical like uh in every sports
drama he's like that the fucking the janitor
who's like the fucking the voice of reason for
everybody you know like he's the he's the protector
he's the voice of reason he's uh you know a trainer
he's uh you know a father you know he's he's
like you said he plays everything in this movie
um And, you know, his name is, he goes by Chava,
which is, you know, the nickname for Salvador.
And then, of course, we have Fernando Arau, who's
no surprise here, son to Alfonso Arau, Gabriel,
or El Chilo Juan, the main star of the movie,
who also, you know, there's a lot of Arau tie
-ins in this movie, right? So, Fernando Arau
being the son of Alfonso, there's also a character
in this movie named Tatu. uh who's played by
ademar arau who is the son of fernando arau um
but yeah so you know he's he's fresh off of um
what is it kachun kachun rara which is like a
very like popular like comedy uh show like that
was yeah it ran for a couple years like five
or six years and then there was a movie about
it so he's fresh off of this um You know, filming
in 1985, of course. And then we have Gabriela
Roel, who plays Patty. And it's kind of like
Sheila Juan's love interest in this movie. And,
you know, she, I wouldn't, I don't think she's
like, they don't, maybe you learn if you listen
to the intro that Sandra did for us, you learn
that, you know, essentially there's a director's
cut of this. This is like an edited movie that
we're watching. You know, she doesn't have a
pivotal role, but she, you know, is like the
force behind Sheila Juan, basically. You know,
it's like his love interest. There's a little
bit of a love triangle going on in there. You
know, multiple love triangles, really. And this
was her first movie. You know, I had a decent
career. You might remember her from La Casa Queer
de la Noche, which is, you know, a Cardona movie.
Fucking amazing. Watch that one if you haven't.
Viernes Tragico, which is another good, I guess
like a thriller. Yeah, that's a good movie as
well. As I said, Ademar Arau plays Tatu, who's
the little boy in this, who actually won an Ariel
Award for this, which is crazy. And then, of
course, we have the bad guy, the roughy in this
one, Wolf Ravinsky's absolute legendary Mexican
actor. He's always a bad guy. Yeah, he's always
a bad guy. And at this point of his career, obviously
it's later in his career, but he plays the character
Hector Cepeda. I feel like we've talked about
Wolf Ravinsky's, but we haven't really gone into
depth about Wolf Ravinsky's. I guess we should
do a dedicated episode about him. He has an interesting
story. Born in Latvia, was a fucking luchador,
became an actor once he couldn't fucking wrestle
anymore. He was an interesting guy. Even later
in his career, he was just playing these same
roles. Like a bad guy. If it works, why stop
it? We have Alejandra Peniche, who plays, I guess,
the secondary love interest to Chilo Wan. She
plays a character named Angelica in this movie.
Absolute stunning woman. She plays a good role
in this one, I think. We have, of course, the
legendary Jorge Reynoso, who, you know, needs
no introduction, but... Yeah, he plays Cholo.
That's the funny thing. That's not even, like,
the hood name. He's just Cholo, you know? But,
you know, he looks like the typical Cholo in
this. He's got the slick back, the mustache,
you know? He has, like, the accent, kind of.
I mean, he doesn't really have a good accent,
but he's trying, at least. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, in the whole movie, this movie is Chilango
as fuck, dude. When you're watching this, like,
everything, like, if you know the Chilango accent,
you know what we're talking about here. um but
you know he's the bad guy he's i mean he's in
there fucking like killing puppies and getting
into fight he's a total scumbag in this fucking
movie and just when you think it's over like
okay he's gone he's back yeah like two or three
times he comes back he always yeah they always
come back dude um another name that's in this
movie that we've talked about fairly recently
in our mother's day episode um sebastian ligarde
um who plays wilfredo in this movie like a he's
i don't know this is an interesting character
yeah he's got long hair he's fucking typical
like you know white looking antagonist oh one
thousand percent and then of course we end up
finding out that he's a dual citizen of mexico
and germany and you know that plays an important
role for the at the end of the movie i think
i want to say maybe sebastian is actually half
german but i could be wrong oh is he really supposed
to be like half if i recall I have to look into
that again. But, yeah, now that you mentioned
it, make him remember. He might have been, yeah.
I think he is. He looks so ridiculous in this
fucking movie. He's got long hair. He talks like
this, you know. Yeah, because he has, yeah, he
could speak English, too, because he was born
in Texas, if I recall. So, if I recall, yeah,
he's American and, you know, Mexican. American,
Mexican, American, German. But his heritage is
like, yeah, I think German. I don't know. I have
to look into it again. I could be wrong, but,
yeah. So it was interesting. We're making shit
up in this show. Who cares? We'll figure it out
once we get down to Sebastian again. And I'm
sure we will talk about him again soon. And there's
also a little cameo in this by Botellita de Jerez,
which, you know, ironically, they're not from
Zacatecas. They're from Mexico City, but they're
kind of like an early pioneering Spanish rock
band. Oh, yeah. Very underrated now. Yeah, people
still listen to them here and there, but I feel
like they were the main ones from back then.
In the early days, yeah. Oh, yeah. Did they start
in the late 70s or the early 80s? I think it
was the early 80s. But they were very popular.
That's the thing. And so they kind of faded away
after. I mean, naturally, you know, you know,
they go on to different things. Right. So the
singer of Boteita de Jerez is none other than
Sergio Arau. Another Arau tie in here, who, of
course, is Alfonso's son. But he ends up becoming
the director of Un Dia Sin Mexicanos, right?
A Day Without a Mexican. Oh, that's right. The
satirical, you know, mockument. That movie feels
like a fever dream when I think about it. I'm
like, was that movie real? That was, I haven't
seen it since it came out. It's a strange movie,
yeah. uh i feel like that would be worth revisiting
especially in today's climate yeah i kind of
watched it but i remember when i watched i was
like like feels unreal like it's just so unusual
like it's not bad it's just weird oh yeah but
yeah i don't know check that out if you haven't
seen day without a mexican that's a um but yeah
i mean they're in there for what maybe a minute
you know they're playing they're yeah they're
performing i don't even know what song but it
was a pretty catchy song But like you said, you
know, you know. pivotal in the rock and espanol
scene you know they were they helped out the
careers of caifanes like you know i think uh
um sergio arrao and um fernando they opened like
a a rock club which is where like a lot of like
the bands from the 80s where you got their like
uh their push uh in mexico city like a legendary
rock club yeah so The family runs deep. They're
very successful in what they've done. They've
all had lengthy careers. No surprise. Let's get
into the actual story. Like I said, it's a simple
sports drama. The same sports drama you've seen
in the 80s and since forever everything from
the 80s it's like this movie but this one plays
differently obviously yeah yeah it's not just
like oh you know you know he wins and whatever
it's like no he has challenges here and there
you see it you know but yeah let's get into it
yeah let's get into it um Okay, so the movie
starts off, like you said, we get shots of this
ran -down little neighborhood in Mexico City.
I don't know the colonia that they're in. I don't
know if they ever mention. the colonia i think
they did i just yeah i don't remember but it's
it's a real place though for sure um and then
you have you know chava mario almada his character
being driven into his new little uh i don't know
if it was a tallera or what but he had a little
shop yeah it's like an auto shop yeah and uh
you know the kids are playing soccer or football
you know they're everyone's cracking jokes the
fucking um i think even chava's like cracking
jokes about about russian fools and shit like
it's you know starts off pretty silly but um
you know el chilo juan immediately recognize
or doesn't recognize chavez who he was but you
know sees this new guy coming into uh into the
neighborhood so he goes and introduces himself
as like the the neighborhood star and you know
we get um you know they're like in a punk like
it's just funny because they're all running around
playing football and they're all dressed up as
punks you know there's like no one not a single
kid in sight you know they're all got their studded
jackets on their jeans they're fucking drinking
cheves and shit like they have a fool that's
selling tortas and fantas and cheves that's right
there straight up just like yeah in the streets
this isn't just the countryside Come on, Chido,
you're going to turn her into a faggot and a
faggot addict. So that she has milk, my mom's
two. Don't you see that the parrots eat like
you? I mean, as if they didn't have a mother.
For a year and a half that I don't see her. Chido,
pretty, please. Give her a clean and put her
in the center, son. What's wrong with him, güey?
Mugreta, do you think it's time for him to have
a mother? Didn't I tell you that I already wanted
to see him fiddling? You know, and that's essentially
the setup, right? So we see where he's from.
We see that he's, you know, obviously not a rich
man. You know, he lives in a poor community.
um there's local punk gang so we see you automatically
get the setup of all right now this guy has to
rise from the you know from the from the grave
you know from the ashes and and become something
so chava really takes it upon himself to to take
chilo under his wing um because apparently he
sees something from him right off the bat you
know yeah he senses it too he just sees it again
and um And we never really learned that Chava
is an ex -footballer until a little bit later.
So setting that up, we get scenes of Chilo Juan
taking Pati out on a date. That's like the local
hot girl in the neighborhood. But it's Chilo's
girl. He's the main guy. He gets the girl. But
this is where we get a funny little tie -in to
the second movie that we're going to talk about
because he takes her on a movie date. They go
to the movies and then, you know, I guess we'll
spoil it. They're watching El Futbolista Fenomeno,
which is a 1979 comedy that we'll talk about
after this just as another time. So you see in
the screen that they're showing all the soccer
scenes. Oh, yeah. That's what that's one of the.
one of the funniest parts of the movie um but
yeah you know and then of course this is where
the first love triangle happens because we're
introduced to cholo who's out here just stalking
folks because he realized i guess that's uh patty
was his girl too before he got sent off to jail
or wherever he was off and supposedly she promised
to be with him forever blah blah hey man you
know shit changes hey shit changes bro you know
don't get don't get locked up you can't you can't
assume that your girl's gonna you know wait for
you when you're locked up exactly make stupid
mistakes and you you know you get stupid prizes
but so of course he's pissed off so he's got
a beef now with chilo juan you know you you know
he's not only still stolen your girl but he's
also like the local the local celebrity so i
would be pissed off too i'd want to fucking i'd
want to fight this one too but you know in in
the theater they're like um uh uh They're followed
by Tatu, you know, who just wants to hang out
with Chilo Juan naturally. He puts, like, a little
firecracker in Cholo's popcorn. He gets out,
being like, what the fuck? He's, like, chasing
him through the street. And everybody gets scared.
Everybody thinks there's, like, a shooting. They
all run out. Which I kind of want to figure out
what movie theater that was because, like, the
outside of the theater looked fucking nice, too.
It was, like, a nice big screen, like, single
screen theater. Cholo, ¿cuándo saliste? Ay, te
fuera preocupando mucho esa. Como me fuiste a
visitar tanto, ¿qué no? A mí no me gusta que
nadie lo metan a la cárcel. Y discúlpame, Cholo,
¿pero por qué tendría yo que irte a ver? ¿Por
ahí este cuate qué tranza? Nada, vive ahí por
mi casa. Hace rato lo metieron al bote, es todo.
Licentumiesa, tú sigues siendo mi guisa. No te
hagas la dormida esa. Yo nunca he sido tu nada
tuyo. ¿Y sabes qué? A la fuerza ni los zapatos.
Oh, rañero, ¿qué onda? ¿Qué hiciste, loco? Ahora
me vas a comprar unas popcorn pa' mí. ¡Órale!
Ay, loco, pórtese bien y luego demiflótese. Sáquese,
que... but that's the that's the beef so now
we know cholo versus chilo juan for the rest
of this movie is it's gonna be a fucking thing
you know and of course it is a thing because
like i said earlier This fool Cholo shows up
to Chilo's house. Chilo and Patti are trying
to sell puppies. This fool shows up and fucking
kills all the puppies, dude. I'm like, damn.
It's like cutting their throats. At first I thought
it was real, but no, it's actually fake. You
can tell right away it's fake. I thought it was
real for the first second. Then when they cut
back to the, I'm like, oh, okay. You can tell
right away. You can tell it's fake. But it does
look real at first, yeah. So I was a little freaked
out when I saw that. I was like, oh, fuck, no.
I know. I was about to add it to my list. Then
they showed it and I was like, oh, wait. No,
no, no, no, they're right. False alarm. So, yeah.
But that, you know, that's the kind of fucking
guy you're going to get with Cholo, man. You
know, he's a fucking, he's a maniac. Yeah. He's
fucking, you know, he's out for blood. He's out
for blood, man. Don't steal a man's girl, you
know. That's the moral of that conflict, you
know. And so, I mean, naturally, Chava. just
takes chilo under his wing at this point and
you know he becomes his mentor you know you see
him training him like he's you know telling him
oh this is how you're supposed to play or whatever
you know he um and then he arranges remember
to me with those what is it like acrobats or
something like that yeah so he has like this
weird so throughout this throughout the whole
movie he has this little like i don't know if
it's a toy or what but he keeps playing with
it and it's just like this little doll that's
keep doing like loops yeah um and the one thing
i was confused about is because they never i
mean they show him yes like you said like you
know he he tells him i'm not going to show you
how to be a footballer until you've mastered
this toy And he's like, what the fuck is, okay.
And then, you know, he takes them to this, like
the, I don't know if it's like a gymnast or like
a gym or some shit, but they're doing like, like
you said, acrobatic shit. They put, they put
them on ropes and he's doing flips on trampolines.
And it's like, what does this have to do with
football at all? You know? But, you know, it's
like the fucking Mr. Miyagi, you know, like fucking
wax on, wax off. Somehow this fucking acrobatics
flipping all over the place is going to help
him become a mega footballer. But we never really
learn why. But, you know, he even has like this
like weird like I guess like an arnica cream
or some shit. He's like, yeah, the Yaki Indians
made this. Oh, yeah. The peyote. The peyote cream.
It's just all kinds of weird shit. He watches
after Chilo's mom because Chilo's mom ends up
sick. We don't really know why Chava takes this
liking to Chilo, but he really does take him
under his wing and becomes the mentor for him
and really helps him out. Bails him out of jail.
When he gets locked up, he's getting beat up,
and he shows up and uses his crutches to help
him. It's just all over the place with that.
But that's the relationship between Chava and
Chilo. And it lasts like that throughout the
whole movie, even when Chilo starts fucking up,
going down the wrong path. And remember, he even
tells him, you need to go back to school because
you can't always be a football player. you know
it's telling them to do yeah he's having them
just do everything like preparing for life you
know as as a good mentor should yeah exactly
um you know at some point when when chavas you
know convinced that okay chilo juan is you know
can be a a footballer like you said like you
said he brings over like the um He brings over
a news reporter to introduce him to him to get
a little bit of local exposure. Introduces Chilo
to the, what are they called, the team? The Aslan?
I think they were called the Aslan or some shit.
Introduces them to the owners of that, which
is the Wolf Ravinsky's character. We get a shot
of Wilfredo, who I don't understand the beef
between uh rovinsky's character uh hector like
why he didn't like chilo i don't know if he was
just using him as a pawn to basically make mexico
look like a you know like a like a boring small
team against the master plan of of having wilfredo
play for germany in the final um because it's
just set up kind of weird like wilfredo just
shows up uh to the neighborhood is like hey what's
up guys like i'm you know we got a news reporter
here yeah um So that part of the story, I don't
know if you had any... If you understood that
part of the story. They don't really go into
detail. There's this nefarious plan for Wilfredo
to switch teams from the Mexican national team
to the German national team. But why? I have
no idea. They suppress Chido throughout the whole
movie. They don't want him to be the star. I
guess in a sense, it's kind of like how the Mexican
national team is. I don't know if you're into
sports at all, by the way. I should have asked
you that at the beginning. I can't say that I
do, but no. It's kind of set up like how the
national team is now, where Televisa basically
owns the rights to the team. And the reason why
our national team sucks, or not sucks, but doesn't
really get to the next level is because we're
being hindered by money, basically. Televisa
doesn't want to lend out these players, doesn't
want to fucking sell the rights to players. And
it's kind of what this movie is, I guess. you
know, Ravinsky's character, I guess somehow wants
to make money off of Chilo. Like they don't really,
yeah, they don't really, it doesn't go into detail.
It doesn't go into detail. Yeah. But it's obviously,
it has to do with him being like greedy and shit.
But anyways, Chido makes the reserve team. He's
already ecstatic. The city's behind him. The
neighborhood's behind him. How popular is that?
He becomes a star. He gets subbed in and is instantly
making fucking crazy -ass goals. I'm curious
where they shot it, though, because it does look
like the same stadium that they shot Futbolista
Fenomeno in, which I think was the stadium for
Toluca. But, you know, I couldn't tell for sure,
but I assume it was the stadium for Toluca. But
yeah, man, I mean, you know, we get the Chido,
of course, you know, starts getting this meteoric
rise to fame at this point, you know, gets subbed
in, is making goals. You know, people are after
him, you know, like now the second love triangle
between Chido, Pati and Angelica happened. Angelica,
of course, is like this, like. uh you know famous
uh cabaret singer you know and it's not really
good to be honest but yeah i mean you know it
is what it is she just looked good but she didn't
sing allegory that's what i was noticing i was
like she looked like a singer um but you know
it's it's the it's like i said it's like the
the prototypical story where you know he starts
getting letting the fame kind of get to him yeah
it's gonna get to his head he just thinks like
you know He's on top of things now, you know.
He buys, like, a fancy car. He's starting to
blow off his mom, you know. Kind of like not
spending time with his friends like he used to,
you know. Kind of like promising. Remember, he
would promise his friends, like, you know, we're
all in this. And then after a while, it's like,
nah. Yeah. Leaves him in the dust. And then that
chick's telling him not to talk, like, all too
long. Oh, yeah. Don't talk, not go, you know.
Like, you're better than that, you know. And,
um. you know there's a scene where like she's
actually singing and they're like in the club
and she's she's got this nice like silky blue
dress and there it is and like he's two -timing
uh uh bathy at this point yeah there's even a
scene that scene i was just like oh this is bad
Dude, he's like on the phone with Patti telling
her how much he loves her. And it's raining,
right? Yeah, it's raining. She's in the phone
booth and then she's talking to Chilo. And then
he's over here, you know, getting dumbed up.
He's in bed with fucking Angelica. He's like,
I love you. And then it's like, oh, shit. And
then he's basically cheating on her. He's like
moaning on the phone. Yeah. She just thinks like,
oh, you know, like it's about her. And it's like,
nah, girl. If you only knew. Yeah. maybe she
should have stayed with cholo who knows but yeah
that seems like brutal Bien que te vas a estar
divirtiendo, ¿no? Ah, ¿cómo crees? Si gacho estoy
aquí concentrado. No nos dejan salir del hotel,
ni recibir visitas. ¿Sabes? Anoche soñé contigo.
Soñé que me decías cosas muy bonitas. ¡Mándalo
a saludar! ¡Órale! ¡De mi parte! Te decía que...
Te decía que estás preciosa. Y que cada día me
gustas más. Y que siento suave acá cuando me
besas. Sí, eso me decías. Eres brujo. Porque
ves como te conozco que hasta tus sueños te adivino.
Y, bueno, mi reina, ya me están llamando a una
junta. Te mando un bonche de besos. Me saludas
a mi jefa. Adiós. It's fucked up. I mean, I don't
know what it's like to become like a fucking
famous celebrity like that where you're getting
paid. He's getting flashy cars and shit to go
from the bottom to the top and then just kind
of start abandoning. Everyone says they would
never do it, but it seems to just happen. It
just always happens. It always happens. Like
I said, his mom is sick. chava's looking after
her because this was not coming through yeah
um she ends up dying unfortunately and and throughout
that time he's you know he's nowhere to be found
basically he shows up and it's already the fucking
the funeral um and it's just like that's when
we learn the backstory of chava um you know lost
his career because of a car accident and it's
funny because i guess uh his wife in the in the
movie it's just a picture but is um is uh lauraski
van um but yeah so then of course you know all
you gotta hit rock bottom in a story like this
which chilo chilo one does his rock bottom you
know he decides, all right, well, I got to get
my life back together now. Starts going back
to school. He starts training with Chava again.
He's trying to build up his strength. Makes amends
with his friends. The whole story. It's that
familiar sports story. He's... I'm trying to
think like, so at this point, you know, he's
trying to get his life back together. He gets
recalled to the national team. And this is the
end of the story, basically. He gets called into
the national team again. Now that Mexico's in
the finals against Germany, against Wilfredo,
his arch nemesis, who's, you know. Dirty tackled
him earlier and injured his leg and forced him
to have surgery and all that shit. And he scores
the winning goal. And he's wearing the tacos.
Chava had given him his old tacos. This is what
you were working for. Use these tacos and you'll
be the great superstar that you deserve to be.
And all is well that ends well. We're not going
to spoil it, but there is a revelation too. It
was super cheesy. I was just like, okay, that's
kind of cheesy. I guess just to make the story
more lighthearted. that's pretty much what it
was i think you got it you know you can't i can't
even think of a sports drama that ends horribly
for the for the the main star you know it's like
they wanted them to win and then also like oh
hey there's this all this time it's like wait
what yeah yeah that was my only like nitpick
about us just like okay they didn't have to do
that a little extra but okay yeah you know it
is what it is yeah i mean this was a huge movie
like uh nominated for a tons of awards when i
first watched it i just thought oh it's just
another 80s movie you know that kind of just
disappeared with the rest but then yeah it turns
out it was a nominated movie for aerials several
uh i think seven or six yeah crazy and the only
one they won is for the child yeah that was the
yeah and that was like the main movie that got
nominated for the most awards of that year i
was like what the fuck it was it was the onora
of its time yeah that was so weird i was like
what the fuck i just didn't think that i was
like what no way but i i mean you can see it
because like you said i mean the the whole point
of this of making this movie is to capitalize
off of the world cup coming up so i mean the
vibes i'm sure i mean i wasn't you know i wasn't
there for the 86 world cup yeah um but i would
imagine that the vibes were fucking going crazy
in mexico you know so probably more than now
well you know what I mean I don't know I mean
I mean that don't get me wrong like the 86 tournament
is like the crazy like that's the the Argentino
ended up winning the the World Cup that year
yeah that's the hand of God goal you know that
everyone still considers one of the greatest
World Cup goals of all even though he thought
it should have been a should have been a fucking
of of what do they call it a fucking of a yellow
card or something red card he fucking it was
a handball you know yeah as we've now seen now
that 4k scans exist you know but that is the
hand of god tournament um so i mean just all
around i think the the vibes for for world cup
for football for these types of stories was you
know naturally prevalent but yeah it's a good
movie i think it's Probably one of the best movies
of that decade, if I want to say. I can't say
that it's, like, just another one. It's actually
really good, though. It has a lot of heart. You
know, sports, of course. You know, if you're
into soccer, this is actually a good soccer movie.
It's not just, like, here and there with soccer
balls bouncing around. It's like, no, they actually
do play the game and everything. And I think
that's, I mean, because before it, like, the
second movie we're going to talk about is just
a straight -up comedy. And I think before Tacos
de Oro, anything that was made like a football
movie. I think for as to what I know, at least
they're all just, just comedies. Like they weren't
really taken serious. Yeah. Like there's the
Chesapeake, the one for example. Yeah. Yeah.
Nothing too serious. This one actually took it
serious. And yeah, like I said, it has a lot
of heart in it, you know, and with the cheesy
revelation, but you know, but even then, like
I said, it's still like a good movie though.
Good soccer movie. I wonder if this product of
its time to, you know, yeah. And I wonder if,
so for those who actually listened to the introduction
by Sandra, apparently there was cuts made in
this movie. So I wonder if there is a director's
cut that makes this movie feel different or,
you know, if there's any type of angles in this
movie that are completely different. Yeah, I
guess we think, you know. especially with the
revelation like i said i wonder if that has anything
to do with it because that was it just seems
added like in last minute i don't know yeah i
could be wrong but like i said it just felt so
unusual for everything else that was already
going on yeah yeah but yeah we'll see hopefully
one day we get to see something different maybe
but for now you know there's just that one cut
you can see it on youtube or it's all over the
place if you google tacos de oro yeah you'll
find it you'll find it it's on all the russian
sites it's on youtube um yeah it's available
everywhere it's streaming on uh is it no i don't
think it's on vix anymore i don't know it's streaming
somewhere it's out there but yeah it's a good
one though so you'll be able to catch it anywhere
regardless stacked cast yeah yeah worth a watch
and like i said product of its time If you're
feeling down and out that your team lost the
World Cup, this one will uplift you. Yeah, it'll
give you a glimmer of hope for next time. Which
is like, what, another four years? Four years,
yeah. Four years. Spain, Portugal, Morocco. Oh,
man. I know. Oh, well. Sorry. The vibes aren't
going to be the same like it was for this tournament,
but I'm sure it'll be good. But that leads us
to the second movie, which is just, in my opinion,
just an irreverent. football comedy yeah and
now we're on to the movie that they were watching
in the tacos de oro which is el futbolista phenomenal
It's kind of funny that they were watching this
movie. I mean, that goes to show you that this
movie was... And I actually forgot about that
until when I was re -watching it. I was like,
oh, look, there it is. But I guess that's like...
I can't say that's the better one out of the
other one because I can't recall the Chespirito
one. I don't even remember that one, to be honest.
I don't even know if I've even seen it. I don't
know if I've seen the Chespirito. I know that
the Chespirito one, but I don't... Yeah, but...
Yeah, so here's Futbolista Fenomenal from 1979.
And it's funny because it's actually part of
a series, like an unofficial series, as they
call it. There was El Basebolista Fenomenal from
1952, which I wasn't really a big fan of, but
I appreciated it for what it was. I've been wanting
to watch it because, I mean, for those who know
me, my favorite sport is baseball. I love baseball.
Yeah, it actually has some cool baseball scenes,
so I think you would like it. Yeah, I got to
check that one out for sure. But as like a movie,
comedy, I don't know. It just felt very like
whatever, you know. But it's cool for what it
was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, like, yeah,
the same year it came out, Luchador Fenomenal,
which is about wrestling. Yeah. And then, I don't
know if this is part of the series or it's just
called that. It's called El Aviador Fenomenal
from 1961. It's about a pilot, I guess. Same
name, too, of the character, which we'll get
to right now. His name's Amado. And it was directed
by Fernando Cortes. And he was a Golden Age director
and did a lot of fucking comedies with Resortes
in the 50s, which includes the Fenomenal movie.
Of course, yeah. and the star that plays amado
is adalberto martinez resortes which you know
if you don't know legendary comedian very legendary
comedian he's actually funny too he's not even
like you know i love that era of comedy like
it's it's for me it's like hit or miss it's just
so like i'm very picky with comedies like i only
like comedies from the 80s and 70s if anything
but like stuff from like the golden age i don't
know i'm very picky with it like I have to, like,
I don't know what it is. I just, I'm very picky.
But when it lands, it lands. It lands, yeah,
yeah, yeah. And Resortes was, like, the one I
think is, like, the one that makes me laugh,
though, out of all the Golden Age ones. More
than Tintin? Honestly, yeah. Damn. Hot takes
over here. I think it's just because I grew up
watching more Resortes than any of anything.
Probably another reason, too, yeah. I mean, he
was more, like, I mean, obviously, you know.
you know he's part of the golden age but i think
his career kind of span into like the late 70s
yeah like seven decades of him just playing the
same kind of guy too yeah it's funny it's just
i think we i think growing up we had more access
watching those than we did like the comedies
of like the 50s exactly yeah i could i can see
why that's why i was more familiar with him if
anything i was like oh there he is and i'm like
dang he's so fucking younger here so yeah he
was born in 1916 crazy jesus right 2003, he passed
away. And yeah, I mean, he was still acting and
he was doing TV. He wasn't doing movies anymore
by then, but he was still acting too. It was
crazy. And yeah, I mean, he worked for seven
decades. He did big roles, little roles, medium
roles. Sometimes he would just be in the background
dancing. Hey, how much you're paying me? Yeah.
And that's the thing he was known for, for his
dancing. So he was dancing, you know. I mean,
obviously you can't see his dance. We're not
going to dance on the fucking, you know, he has
a familiar dance, you know, supposedly he invented
the moonwalk, which I don't think is true, but
you know, I could see what they were trying to
say. And yeah, he always played like the, you
know, like the down on his luck guy or poor guy
or a vagabond. Yeah. Yeah. He gets like a second
chance, you know, he makes it out, gets the girl
at the end one way or another, or he was like
a father figure. especially like in the 80s he
was always playing like a father figure to someone
the older you get you got you know you gotta
you gotta play like a grandfather or a father
figure type of in person so yeah that's kind
of what he was and then when he was 15 yeah that's
how he started his career he was dancing at the
teatro hidalgo he's working in the circuses yeah
yeah then he became an actor and yeah you know
he blew up from there And everybody knew him.
Like I said, he worked with everybody back in
the day. I'm sure if people don't know the name
Resortes, they know the face. They know the face
and they know the voice. Oh, yeah. He has a very
distinctive, familiar voice, you know. And he's
like, mamacita. That's like his line, you know.
And then, yeah, you know, he was just everywhere.
And then, yeah. So, you know, after all these
decades, you know, we land in 1979. He stars
in this movie, Futbolista Fenomeno. and it's
a really unusual movie you know it's a sci -fi
movie it's not even just like a movie about football
it's this is like this is why you know i said
this i think this is an irreverent comedy movie
because it just there's really no there's really
no real plot when you think about it like basically
it's just about amado he's selling beer at the
stadium and then he gets you know abducted by
these aliens from venus Yeah, like the aliens
are trying to figure out human behavior. Yeah,
and they see soccer and they're just trying to
figure out what exactly this is. They're just
like... Why are they so like entertained by this
or what? What do they do outside of soccer? The
funny part is Amalo doesn't even, he's like,
I don't even fucking like soccer. I don't know
what the fuck's going on. I just know that they
shoot the ball into the goal and there's a winner.
He doesn't even know anything about it. So they
picked like the wrong person, but he was like
the one willing to talk to them, I guess. Lo
que se deduce claramente es que esos 22 hombres
que están dentro del área verde están compitiendo
por algo. Definitivamente son de dos bandos contrarios.
Correcto. The unusual thing about all this is
that more than 100 ,000 beings who do nothing,
get excited, scream, despair, and even fight.
We have observed disputes among themselves. There
are many questions like these. To conclude our
investigation, we will need the testimony of
a terrestrial being. No, I didn't do anything.
No, nothing, thank God. I just had a beer. Well,
what delegation is this? This is not a delegation.
It's a space ship on a study trip. Really? Really?
We've been watching the game in the stadium.
And we want to investigate some points that we
can't understand. So yeah they learn from Amado
you know what's going on exactly and then Amado
figures out like They give him powers, too, or
something, right? It's so strange. Like, they
give him some kind of power to figure out where
the soccer coach from the team that he's, you
know, that plays in the stadium is at. Yeah,
I don't know if it's, like, a playoff bracket
that's happening in this movie, but there's,
like, you know, the team, for some reason, lost
their coach, and so they fucking suck, you know?
He just mysteriously got kidnapped, and then
later they find him. The aliens give him the
foresight of where the coach is, and nobody believes
them. he he tries to tell fools that the aliens
told me but nobody fucking believes yeah and
then he's known to be like kind of a drunk so
you know they think he's just drunk and it's
a coincidence that he was able to find the coach
the police think he's involved yeah and then
the movie just gets weird from there like there's
like this mafia where they wear purple suits
that has a cameo by alfonso zayas yeah it's alfonso
zayas it's uh and then uh jorge zamora zamorita
the cuban guy yeah yeah and yeah they speak in
like gibberish and i don't know or if it's supposed
to be like a like a language but they're just
like talking amongst themselves they're just
there though but i i truly don't know what they
appear throughout the movie yeah i guess just
comedy relief it's so weird comedy relief for
the comedy eventually you know a mother becomes
like the actual coach of the team they give them
like superpowers like i to know the game and
everything yeah there's there's a scene in this
i was fucking dying laughing you can obviously
tell that they like taped the ball to his foot
he's like fucking juking everyone oh yeah oh
my god it's so ridiculous yeah so basically he
becomes their coach and then he's trying to win
the game There's just all kinds of, yeah, it's
just a funny comedy, and then there's not much
of a plot. It's just Resortes literally just
being Resortes. 1 ,000%. I mean, the jokes come
a fucking, you know, as fast and furious as it
is. Yeah, I was just like, what? His assistant
coach is Chicky Lean. Yeah, Chicky Lean and the
little boys right there with them. Yeah, it's
just such a strange movie. Like, I can't even
give you a whole plot outline or give you this
whole deep meaning to it because it's like there's
no deep meaning to it. It's just a fucking comedy.
I mean, sometimes that's what comedy movies are.
They're just there for the jokes, you know? Yeah,
so this is the last entry of that series with
Amado, and I don't know. I mean, I can't say
it's a bad movie either, but it's just there,
you know? You know, there's some of the jokes
in this land, and then some of it you're just
like, all right, I don't fucking care. Yeah,
just like with the Purple Gang. I was like, what
the fuck is this? I really like the chemistry
between him and what was her name, the girl?
Oh, yeah. The love interest. Yeah, the love interest
in there. I forgot her name, but yeah, she didn't
even like him at first, but then eventually she
grows on him. Once he has the superpowers, she
starts falling in love with him. Yeah, once eventually
we get to that final game, he's the one that
actually saves the fucking game and everything.
They win the tournament. And it's a really trippy
scene with lights and everything that are warping
around. But the chase between him and her, I
thought was hilarious. There's like, you know,
the first scene where he's asking her for more
beer, like they're cracking jokes. He keeps asking
her to go out to dance. She's like, nah, get
the fuck out of here. I thought they had a really
good dynamic. Yeah, that was Monica Prado. There
you go. Her name was Monica Prado, the actress.
She played Elvira. And yeah, like I said, that
was that. So there's a little bit of a romance,
I guess, going there. But even then, like I said,
it's such a mindless movie. If you want to just
watch something, you know, put it on. This is
like a Sunday morning movie. Yeah, just put it
on, you know, and get about your day or you just
want to lay down in bed and watch something kind
of funny. Just put this on, you know, that's
all. ¿Qué tiene que ver mi edad? Si me siento
todavía un venazo, todavía aguanto, pues qué.
Ay, mira, no me presumas. Ya te he dicho que
estás muy vetarro para mí. Yo apenas acabo de
cumplir los 25 años. Ah, pues ahí está, tú ya
te estás pasando. A mí me gustan de a 20. Si
los dos estamos entre los 20 y la muerte. Sí,
¿eh? Nada más que con la diferencia de que tú
estás más cerca del arpa que de la guitarra.
Y ya basta de cuchicheos, apúrele. Bueno, entonces
queda la invitación a la bailada, ¿qué? Narices.
I was watching this and I did a little bit of
research because I'm curious. Like we said earlier,
they shot this at Toluca, the stadium in Toluca.
They used the 1979 Toluca jerseys in this movie
as their jerseys, but obviously you could see
they put a little pasty over the logo. And the
team was what? What was it? Latin Americas or
something like that? Yeah, the Equipo Latin Americanos
or some shit like that. I don't know. Yeah, they
didn't even want to call them Mexican. They just
said Latin America. But they play against, you
know, fans of La Liga Mexicana. You know, you
see Cruz Azul in this movie. You know, they play
like the extras as one of the, I think they were
the Bananas. Oh, yeah, something stupid like
that. They have like silly names. Veracruz is
in there and Atlantis. Atlético Madrid makes
an appearance in this movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
so fans of those teams will get a little kick
out of that. But they come so by fast. The movie
mainly focuses on resorters just being resorters.
Yeah, I mean, there's a bunch of actors in it,
but the story is pure resorters. I can't give
you a deeper thought, insight into it, because
it's just a silly little movie. But, yeah, you
know, just watching it, especially with Chido
one, I feel like, you know. You can make a little
double feature out of it if you wanted to. Yeah.
Soccer themed or something. But other than that,
yeah, you know, I would recommend it, you know.
I mean, there's like the angle of like, I mean,
I think the Purple Gang guys were like trying
to fix games or some shit. I don't know. See,
that's what I thought too, but then it, no, they
were just, I don't know, they were just there.
Because they weren't even the ones I remember
that were trying to cause problems for me. It
was the other guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't
know. It was just strange. And I was telling
Joey earlier, I was looking at David Wilt's review.
Shout out to David Wilt. Shout out to David,
yeah. Even he was saying the same thing, like,
yeah, this thing served no purpose. They're just
there. So even then, he didn't even make sense
out of this movie. But, you know, sci -fi, soccer
movie, comedy, that's all it is. Well, here's
another. This is going to be my favorite stat
of the Trash Manx podcast. Do you know who shot
second unit for this movie? No. None other than
Damiana Costa. Oh, interesting. I didn't even
know that. I was looking at the credits like,
oh, there he is. He probably did the sci -fi
stuff. I wouldn't doubt it. The shit that Fernando
- Oh, and Humberto Elizondo is one of the aliens,
if I recall. That's right. He was super young
in that movie. You can barely tell it's him.
I didn't notice it was him until I saw the credits.
I was like, wait, what? And I had to go back
and fucking look at it. Yeah, he was super young
right there. For once, he wasn't playing a bad
guy. He was just an alien. Yeah, this is just
a weird fucking movie. I can't say it's bad,
and I can't say it's good. It's just kind of
there, and just put it on if you're bored or
something. It's worth a watch, I think. For football
fans, for comedy fans, if you're just looking
for something stupid to put on while you're fucking
folding your laundry on a Sunday morning, it'll
hit the spot. Yeah, for sure. But other than
that, yeah. oh you know what i forgot to bring
you to armando let me borrow the tape for this
and my vcr ate that shit oh dude oh my god i
felt horrible it was just whatever i was just
like oh okay i was like why is joey so concerned
you know the movie's not that big of a deal you
know but you you never you never want to ruin
a tape you know it was just funny when you talk
i was like okay well when you told me to put
you're like yeah just try it again i was like
i was like i don't think i should i was like
ah fuck it i hit the play and then And I heard
like, I was like, oh, shit. Stop, stop, stop.
And then I fucking pulled it out. And yeah, sure
enough, the Max trip was ripped. It was just
the Martians, I guess. I don't know. Something
happened there. They didn't want me to watch
the movie. They didn't want you to watch the
movie, I guess. I don't know. Just kick it around.
Maybe it'll start working again. Just tape it,
I guess. Yeah, we'll figure it out. I'm not a
fucking VHS surgeon, so I don't know how to fix
tapes. When you told me it was that, I was just
like, okay. It could have been Orgia Sangriente.
That would have got the AI guy in trouble. I
mean, scared or something. I would have had the
public domain crowd mad at me. But other than
that, yeah. I mean, what do we got now? What
are we going to get into next time? Now that
we're done with soccer, because I'm tired of
talking about soccer. After that happened, the
game and everything, I don't want to talk about
soccer. It was heartbreaking. I was at work and
someone had asked me the next day, like, oh,
how are you feeling? And I was like, man, I'm
heartbroken. And then I looked at, there was
a, I mean, she's never going to hear this episode,
but there's a PA that works with us. She's always
throwing me ojitos. I think she has a little
bit of crush on me. Maybe that's just me, you
know. inflating my own ego but i was like oh
no i'm you know i was fucking heartbroken she's
like quickly looked and was like oh shit i was
like i'm just talking about the game you know
but that's where we're at you know the next day
uh i worked for me everybody was quiet the energy
was not it was dead bro the energy was not there
But next month is the two -year anniversary for
the Trash Max podcast. That's crazy. Crazy, right?
Time fucking flies. It's crazy. And we've only
missed one episode. It felt like yesterday. It
felt like just like last year or something. Yeah.
Where we were sitting in your old house in that
hot -ass room recording the first episode. Oh,
man, I know. It was hot as fuck. It was hot as
fuck. I know. No central air. But we have something,
you know, we've thrown ideas around. uh we haven't
finalized well i guess we have kind of finalized
the idea but um we want to do something big so
it might be our longest episode yet yeah but
um we're gonna talk about a lot of shit yeah
we're gonna get into some several titles we'll
just go with that we may piss some people off
i don't know and then you know we're still planning
like what halloween stuff so yeah halloween is
coming up i give you some ideas i was like i
was trying to cash in on obsession right now
so i gave you a joy an idea about obsession i'm
down dude i'm down we could do it we could do
it for september if we want to shit we're not
gonna talk about obsession we're gonna talk about
movies about obsession So I just want to make
that clear. You mean Obsession was made in Mexico?
No, but the reason why I brought that up was
because I was like, people kept asking me, is
there like a Mexican equivalent to Obsession?
Of course. I was just like, oh my God. But then
I was like, hey, you know what? There kind of
is. That just means that if people are asking,
they want to hear about it. So we'll do an episode
about it. So then that's when I asked you. I
was like, hey, let's do this. So, yeah, there's
some titles I think that'll work for that. And,
yeah, you know, we'll let you know. But, yeah,

Que quede bien entendido, doctor. En esta institución
no hay privilegios para nadie. Esa muchacha está
al borde de una crisis nerviosa. ¿Es verdad eso?
¿Que van a quedarse aquí en las vacaciones? Sí,
eso dijo. Es una injusticia. Estoy muy preocupada
por ustedes. ¿Verdad que nos va a ayudar, señor?
Lo que tengo es miedo. Un miedo terrible de que
aquello volviera a suceder. That was a misfortune,
an accident. It's not true. I guess it's time
to go. beyond death. Spirit of Dr. Jacinto Aldama,
present yourself. Ultratomb Mysteries, an electrifying
horror story about the biography of a man who,
at the beginning of the century, scared the whole
of society with his scientific experiments. For
science, the impossible is always in the field
of the possible. In the condition of mortal,
I want to know for myself what is beyond death.
I'm going to meet him, Dr. Gonzales. Leave it,
doctor. Stay. He just died. Could Dr. Mazzali
obtain what he was proposing? The answer is yes.
What is beyond death, Dr. Mazzali? Mysterios

Aterrador. Misterios de Ultratumba. Producida
por Alfredo Riften Jr. para Alameda Films y dirigida
por Fernando Méndez. Véala, si se atreve. Buenos
días, madre. Me asustaste, Marcelo. Es que quería
enseñarle este borriguito. Nació la semana pasada.
Creció la familia, ¿eh? Y mire cómo pesa. Sí,
fácilmente sin arrobas o dos carretas de trigo.
Cualquier cosa que le suceda, me lo avisas para
curarlo. ¿Y dónde está el resto de tu rebaño?
Allá. Tu religión te abandonó y por eso vengo
a devolverte la vida. Pero con mis condiciones.
Una, que renuncies a tu religión. Dos, que me
ofrezcas sacrificios y placeres. Y que siempre
me adores así. Así siempre estaré contigo. Y
orarás a toda aquella o aquel que esté a tu alcance.
Y tendrás riquezas y el placer de las drogas
al alcance de tu mano. Recuerda que después de
sacrificar a tus víctimas me las ofrecerás. Marcarás
con los tres seises, que es el signo de los seres
destinados al dragón de las siete cabezas. Si
haces lo que yo te digo, serás un triunfador.
Yo, el ser supremo de las tinieblas, te nombro
mi hijo predilecto. Sí. Acepto. Cumplida está
mi promesa. Ahora te toca a ti cumplir la tuya.
No entiendo mucho de arte, pero la estatua me
pareció bellísima. Y lo es. Según sé, tiene más
de cinco siglos. ¿Y dónde la adquirió? Ya estaba
aquí cuando compré la casa. Su anterior propietario
la trajo de Europa. De Austria, me parece. ¿Y
por qué tenía usted tanto interés en que yo la
viera? Para que conociera a usted a Hugo. Since
we came to this house, that strange friendship
arose, let's say. And now, that statue is the
most important thing in the world for Silvia.
What makes you so funny? Oh, forgive me. It's
just that I feel a little silly. I was so worried.
You think there's no reason? Absolutely. All
children invent these things. They think they're
pirates, explorers. They talk with their toys.
But that never indicates imbalance. But there
is. When it comes to such a defined obsession.
Every child who pretends to be a pirate while
playing knows that in reality it is not. When
the girls talk to their dolls, they know that
they are not alive. Of course. And the same thing
happens to Silvia. Unfortunately, no. And she
herself will prove it very soon. Eugenio, have
you not thought about the possibility of interning
Silvia in an institution? No, not that. Let's
go to the dining room. When I bought this house,
I thought it would be a good refuge for me. But
it seems that Mariana doesn't like it very much.
That's not why. You know it. I'm done, Dad. Can
I go? That's not right, Silvia. You have to wait
until we all get up from the table. More coffee?
Yes, thank you. No, nada. Me pareció ver a alguien
en el jardín. ¿No será tu amigo Hugo, Silvia?
¡No! ¡No es él! ¡No es él! No tienes por qué
gritar. Vete a tu cuarto. Mañana hablaremos.
No, el castigo no es para usted. Tu hija no va
a quererme nunca, Eugenio. No, no es eso. Reconoce
que no fuiste muy oportuna. Lo sé. Pero si no
combatimos esa obsesión, muy pronto todos vamos
a creer en la existencia de Hugo. Sonrisas, ¿por
qué te portaste mal con papá? No, no, no. Y eso
no nos gusta. Transfusions of human blood have
been useless against the terrible Leucemia. Perhaps
the blood of an animal as powerful as that of
a gorilla can eliminate the cause that causes
cancer in the blood. But do you think he would
resist that transfusion? His heart, no. Then,
how are you going to run the risk? But the gorilla's,
yes. Are you going to transplant Julio's heart
for the gorilla's? Bring the table to the cage
and prepare the gorilla.
