The Trash-Mex Podcast

Hosts Armando & Joey and special guest Mariana Da Silva of El Cine discuss three legendary Mexican actresses & highlight one of their films:

The ever so captivating & ultra-talented Ofelia Medina stars in “Patsy, Mi Amor (1969)”, a coming of age drama about a young woman in the late 1960’s.

The most famous vedette from yesteryear & today Lyn May makes her film debut in “Tivoli (1975)”, a social drama about an aging theater on the verge of being torn down.

1980’s Mexican beauty pageant favorite turned actress Lina Santos shows her true acting talents in “La Diosa Del Puerto (1989)”, a gritty drama loosely based on “Le Port” by Guy de Maupassant.

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.
