The Trash-Mex Podcast

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.

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 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?
