More Than a Movie
Podcast af My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts
S2: On this season of More Than a Movie, host Alex Fumero takes us through some of our favorite films that have impacted Latino Cinema. From Andy Garcia’s 1990 breakout role in Godfather III to Natalie Morales’s 2021 double directorial debut with Plan B and Language Lessons, this podcast looks at the story behind the story of Latino movies over the last several decades. Every episode will reveal something about the movie you didn’t know, feature interviews with the biggest actors, directors, writers and producers behind them, and tap into the history of Latinos in film.
S1: When Edward James Olmos set out on his directorial debut, American Me, he wanted to accomplish two things: to represent Chicano culture on the big screen and to save part of his community from gang violence. But when people were allegedly murdered because of their participation in the film and Olmos himself was allegedly extorted by the real life Mexican Mafia, it exposed the unintended risks of trying to represent someone with an agenda in mind, even a well-meaning one. On the 30th anniversary of the cult classic, host Alex Fumero and producer Nigel Duara delve into the true story of American Me and the legacy the controversial film left behind.

“These boys were mine and now I give them to you.” For the season finale of More Than a Movie, we sat down with friend of the pod Aitch Alberto to dive deep on her feature filmmaking debut. We discussed everything from adapting a beloved YA novel and convincing the author to give her the rights, to taking over directing duties from Miguel Arteta, and what it’s like to have financiers derail the post-production process. If you’re curious about the A-to-Z of getting a movie made in Hollywood today, listen to Aitch detail the process in our exciting sendoff for the season.

11. In the Summers with Residente and Alessandra Lacorazza
“We won Sundance! What the fuck?” If you’re an outsider, the film industry can be seemingly impossible to penetrate. It’s even more difficult to tell your story - and have it seen - when it’s a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale about a queer Latina and her alcoholic father set in a small town in New Mexico. That story became the indie filmmaking miracle In the Summers, a deeply personal tone poem that won the top two prizes at Sundance 2024, America’s most prestigious film festival. To explore the movie's journey from pre-production to Sundance, we interviewed the star of the film, music legend Residente in his first major acting role, and director Alessandra Lacorazza, whose life story inspired this new queer/Latino classic.

10. El Mariachi with Carlos Gallardo and Elizabeth Avellan
“He did it for $7,000.” Before Machete, before Spy Kids, before From Dusk till Dawn, there was El Mariachi. Eager to make a name for himself in the world of film, but with no industry connections whatsoever, Robert Rodriguez went and directed a movie on his own - guerilla style - in Mexico, with a production budget of only $7,000. Producer Elizabeth Avellan is back to tell us how Robert came up with the idea and the crazy story of how he pulled it off. Spoiler: it involves signing himself up to be a medical lab rat so he could raise some of the funds. We also interviewed Mr. Mariachi, Carlos Gallardo, a true pro who not only starred in the film, but also had his hands involved in the producing, special effects, and camera departments while on set.

9. Zoot Suit with Luis Valdez
“Let’s just shoot the play.” If you’ve listened to the first season of More Than a Movie, you may remember the one property that kept getting mentioned over and over - Zoot Suit - the play, and later film, that linked a generation of Latino actors and became a foundational text for the Chicano arts movement. Even many of our guests this season - from Andy Garcia to Lou Diamond Phillips and Enrique Castillo - have a connection to Zoot Suit, so we were incredibly honored when the legendary creator himself, Luis Valdez, came on board for an interview. We discussed his early political work on the ground with Cesar Chavez, founding the iconic Teatro Campesino, and everything Zoot Suit - the conception of the play, directing the film adaptation his way, and essentially launching Edward James Olmos’ movie career.

8. Language Lessons and Plan B with Natalie Morales
“I was filming Plan B in the fall and editing Language Lessons on the weekend.” Everybody in Hollywood will tell you, it’s incredibly difficult to get a film made. Making a movie during a global pandemic? Even more difficult. Directing two movies during lockdown, in your first-ever attempt at feature filmmaking? Seemingly impossible. But not for Natalie Morales. We talked to the multi-hyphenate about her transition from acting in some of our favorite sitcoms to finally stepping behind the camera and how on earth she was able to get her two incredible debut films off the ground in the heart of Covid
