We're celebrating Latin culture. We welcome back L.J. Lowery from Geeks Under Grace and Rosa Parra of the Latinx Lens podcast to discuss the 1954 movie, Salt of the Earth. The movie depicts the story of Mexican-Americans fighting for equality. The movie's powerful depiction can sometimes mirror the struggles within our own country, even over 60 years since the film's release. You can now stream it for free on Tubi & YouTube. We continue the celebration by breaking down the Netflix series, Selena: The Series. Selena was one of the most influential and groundbreaking artists of the 1990s. We discuss why, our own experiences with her music, how being biracial can affect your mental health and more. Plus, we're sitting down with writer-director, Jeffery A. Brown, to discuss his movie, The Beach House, which you can stream on Shudder now.
