Si Es Cine Enters The Mouth of Madness

We're sensing a theme here... Si Es Cine is back with a new episode! We're staying within John Carpenter's filmography, looking back at 1994's In The Mouth of Madness.  A horror/fantasy movie that brings the Carpenter staples while engrossing us in an H.P. Lovecraft-type world.  The film follows John Trent (Sam Neill), an insurance investigator, who goes searching for horror novelist Sutter Cane (essentially Stephen King), after he goes missing and his books start to have a "maddening" effect on some of those who read it.  Sit back, relax, and geek out with us.

Pixar’s Coco is all about family

As we kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, we felt that it was only fair to ring it in with Pixar's Coco.    If you couldn't tell from the name of our podcast or our last names, this is a particular special time for us to reflect on our own Latin heritage and how its shaped us into who we are today.    It was a senior level Latino Politics class, at the University of North Texas, that initially connected the two of us in 2016.    In this spoiler-heavy discussion, we talk about our personal connections to this 2017 film and why it does such a wonderful job at expressing how family is such an integral part to the Hispanic/Latin community.    Be warned, it's an emotional episode...    Thanks for listening and be sure to follow us on Instagram @SiEsCinePod !
