Mean Nerdo

Time certainly flys! Let's dive back into the golden age of animation with the latest episode of Mean Nerdo!

Brand spanking new episode of MEAN NERDO! Today, we're gonna be jumping into the universe of Japanese Anime discussing a rare cartoon series titled Ranma 1/2! My good friend Reza is on the show today! Up to this point, we had not had a full conversation in years. Reza and I have been good friends since high school. We first met through Michelle ... Michelle was my high school sweetheart when I was about 18 years old. Reza, Michelle and I hung out plenty together and to this day they both hang out in a big soft spot of my heart. My introduction to the cartoon world of Ranma 1/2 was through Reza. I remember Reza being a big Ranma 1/2 fan, she always had some DVD's, VHS tapes or comic books lying about in her room. Fast forward to now - this recording was really special to make and a great way for us to catch up after all this time!

"What chance has a poor little fluffy winged creature like me against a well-equipped hunter like you?!" We're Back! Mean Nerdo interviews the Grand Maestro, Award-Winning Theater Director, motivational speaker, wrestling coach, community activist, and Producing Artistic Director of Teatro Mascara Magica - my former theatre teacher - Mr. William Virchis! We shared some good laughs and reminisced about stories about his childhood and upbringing, all while covering the Looney Tunes cartoon episode of "To Duck or Not to Duck" featuring Daffy Duck & Elmer Fudd! It was an honor to talk shop with one of my all time heroes - Mr. Virchis! Enjoy Episode 8!

Cobra!!! This is a first that we get to do: An in-person episode of Mean Nerdo is finally here! It was a day of carne asada tacos, beer, mezcal, jamming on music with good friends and watching old school cartoons! On this 7th episode of Mean Nerdo I have my childhood friends, Mario & Jorge Enciso as special guests, talking about one of the silliest installments of the G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero cartoon series. Dropping by last but not least was our buddy Oscar Gonzalez to add more hilarious anecdotes to our vivid memories of watching this epic cartoon show. Yo Joe!

Catching this mouse ain't gonna be easy! We got a new podcast episode and I'm here to share this lovely conversation that we originally recorded back on August 20, 2020 with my good friend Adrienne "BB" Cota @oneloveyoga2020. The hilarious duo of Tom and Jerry is the cartoon we showcase in this 6th episode of Mean Nerdo and it is titled "Sleepy Time Tom" originally released in 1951.

What's Up Doc!? This one goes deep down the rabbit hole! This podcast episode was originally recorded back in August 14, 2020 and we finally get a chance to catch up with episode 5! The amazing character of Bugs Bunny is our topic of discussion, looking at the cartoon titled "Racketeer Rabbit" from the Looney Tunes series of the year 1946. Our guest, Actor/Filmmaker Giancarlo Ruiz talks us through his start as an actor and also talk shop about the craft of filmmaking and acting as a whole.

For the Honor of Grayskull! We get a chance to talk to healthy living educator Sara Martínez de la Mora about She-Ra: Princess of Power! The episode we explored is "Sweet Bee's Home" where topics of sexual attraction and other fun stuff come up. He-Man also makes a humorous guest appearance!

We go back in time and watch the 1960's cartoon "Top Cat" (known in México as Don Gato y su Pandilla). Our very special guests are Mexican Printmaker extraordinaire Sergio Sánchez Santamaría - and also my brother, Tequila entrepreneur, Juan Manuel De León!

Introducing our Co-Host and my longtime friend Gabriel García to the show. We watch the episode "Eye of the Beholder" from the 1995 cartoon Gargoyles and further discuss the topic of racism - scratching only but the surface, the conversation of race relations in our current World.
