What We’re Watching

PBS’ ‘Latino Americans: The 500-Year Legacy That Shaped A Nation’ teaches our history-what makes it complicated and what should make us proud.

He’s a villain, not a hero, I know.  There’s a lot I could say about casting Puerto Rican Bad Bunny as a Mexican character, especially one so out of pocket…

Following a super mezclado family, ‘The Garcias’ features a beautiful blend of interests, cultures, businesses, and ages.

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ isn’t a show about how its the titular character, Mickey Haller, is Mexican American. And that’s a good thing.

‘Crush’ is a hilarious, heartwarming movie about embracing identity, being fearless, and letting go of fantasies—all in the name of queer love.

‘Undone’ might seem like a regular comedy-drama with a dash of fantasy, but the psychological and philosophical aspects make it deeper.

Robbie Reyes, aka Ghost Rider, played by Gabriel Luna, advances how Marvel portrays Latinx by centering the Chicano experience.

From the reality of the American dream to mother-daughter relationships and generational trauma, tapping into different versions of yourself to examining the people we love and what they teach us—’Everything Everywhere All At Once’ will break you open and show you how beautiful chaos can be. 

After watching “Turning Red,” I realized therapy has helped me extend grace to Mei-Mei-adjacent, boy-band-obsessed thirteen-year-old me.

We want to share Latinx movie history in Hollywood, and part of that is the many times that non-Latinx actors played Latinx parts.
