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.
