Hosts Armando & Joey discuss two Mexican Border films of the past that are relevant to today’s political climate surrounding immigration in the United States.

Joey discusses “Mojados (1979)”: A film starring Jorge Rivero as a man who infiltrates the group of bigots behind the mass murder of Mexican immigrants who crossed over into the Rio Grande Valley. Based on the historical Bracero Program between the US & Mexico from 1942-1964.

Armando discusses “El Vagon De La Muerte (1988)”: A group of Mexican immigrants head out to the USA in a boxcar which leads to very disturbing & tragic events. Based on a real event that occurred in 1987.

Fuck ICE.

No Human Is “Illegal” on Stolen Land.

The Trash-Mex Podcast gets strange (or even more so) with a couple of films that truly warped our minds!

We begin with Hermelinda Linda (1984), a peculiar & colorful horror-comedy based on a popular Mexican comic book character. Joey breaks down the film & its intriguing background.

Then we get really drunk (not literally) with Las Caguamas Ninjas (1991), a videohome that drunkenly parodies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with pot-bellied comedic actors wearing cheap costumes & doing bad karate moves with broomsticks.

What is a “videohome” anyway? Armando chimes in on what the so-called Mexican home video “phenomenon” of the 1990’s-2000’s was really about.
