*TRIBECA 2026* Interview with Mexicanamerican (2026) Director, Eddie Sánchez

In his debut feature documentary, Director Eddie Sánchez [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8217690/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_eddie%20sanchez] paints a vulnerable portrait of his family and their experience as immigrants in the U.S. Mexicanamerican [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt41914712/?ref_=fn_t_1] introduces us to his parents, Lalo and Beby Sánchez who, like many immigrants and refugees, came to the U.S. in hope of opportunity and a better future. Sánchez joins The Rolling Tape to discuss his experience creating this independent documentary, his relationship to his family, and how the film acts as a love letter to his parents and a reclamation of his Mexican heritage.  The film employs a mix of Lalo’s VHS home movies that he would send to family back in Mexico to act as life updates, and contemporary interviews shot by Eddie with Lalo and Beby about their lives. Mexicanamerican is Eddie’s aim to analog and digital bridge to connect with his parents in a new way – cultivating his very own home movie.  The film had its World Premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 9, with additional screenings on June 10, and June 14.

RETRO//RANKED: Christopher Nolan (1-2): Following & Memento

We tried to get Guy Pearce on the phone to see if he’d like to appear on today’s episode. He said he was game, but when we called back to give him a rundown of everything, he acted like he had no memory of our conversation and no idea who I was. Very unprofessional. RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases. Today marks the beginning of what might be our biggest season yet, and for once, we actually mean it. We're diving into the complete filmography of Christopher Nolan, building episode by episode, two films at a time, toward the release of his latest film, The Odyssey. This premiere episode kicks things off with Following and Memento, which means we'll be debating non-linear storytelling, the finer points of anterograde amnesia, and whether you'd drink the beer that Carrie-Anne Moss spits into in that diner scene. No wrong answers. Joining host Evan Miller for the occasion is a RETRO//RANKED first: the show's debut guest, Derrick Murray.  Enjoy all VIDEO episodes of SEASON 7 one week ahead of their public audio-only release exclusively on Patreon.
