On today's episode  I speak about my body kicking my butt, I started taking zempies this weekend boy ol boy that stuff is fast acting. Like I legit stopped feeling hunger, that was crazy. You know what else was fast acting… my back pain. I tweaked my back doing a simple task and it took me out for a couple of days and during my road to recovery, i had to deal with some setbacks. Like dealing with medical facilities that were not up to par and running into the ops. Fun times fun times. Along with some racial profiling at the mall, do i look like the type to pull a Wynona. ONE SPLIFF A DAY - BILLY BOYOD'EVILS - SIR(00:00 - 32:52)On the movie review section we talk about film movies and other things and give the worse takes. This week i speak about  “ AMERICAN ME “ a film from the 1900's. This movie is about the rise of the Mexican mafia, and this movie cause a lot of controversy. From the telling of gang culture, to the real life violence inflicted on film staff over creative differences. This movie brings awareness to its viewer that this lifestyle is not glamorous like Fergie. Y'all should check it out on streaming platforms.   (32:53 - 01:00:58)I then jump into The Cool Report  where we discuss Jimmy Kimmel back in the air, and i am ok with this. Not because he's a funny guy, but because him losing his show is a slippery slope against our freedom. Now i stated 2 episodes ago that freedom ain't free, but we're not giving it away either. From there we talk about big pharama, and the accusations placed against them. Tylenol is fighting for its like, but at least it fan numb the pain a little. Then we jump into the amazon suit and the tactics they used to trick people to use their apps. Plus i am waiting for my check from them, also this is not an ad.(01:00:59 - 01:17:05)We then step into a segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself or just randomness. A character wants to know what is my type, but didn't specify on what kind of type, it was a very complicated conversation to answer without context. Another want to know if i think about my demise, and i like is that a threat? Don't threaten me with a fun time, i don't care for repercussions. Then i get asked about a very Latino experience since it is Latino heritage month. So i put some family business out. (01:17:06 - 01:29:52)Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. A lover wants to know if his girl upgrade to an eater, and this situation throws us for a loop. I was not ready for this question or the next one as well. The other over wants to know if he should be weary of his newest partner. He was given apparel that didn't belong to her, but clearly another suitor. So now he wants to know where he stands in line of her partners, is he a top or a bottom. (01:29:53  - 01:43:21)THE FINThanks to everyone that shows us love and wish y'all the best on the journey called life.(01:43:22 - 01:46:32)please continue to like, share, comment and subscribe.PEACE OUT!!!! For questions to be answered on Part time lover please email @nospecialcharacterspod@gmail.comTIME CODEINTRO/ WHAT'S NEW - 00:00MOVIE REVIEW - 32:53THE COOL REPORT - 01:00:59ASK ME A QUESTION - 01:17:06PART TIME LOVER - 01:29:53OUTRO - 01:43:22

I'm joined here with fabb_999 on this episode reviewing "American Me" directed and produced by Edward James Olmos who shows us a life of a man who's spent half his life in the prison system, trying to reclaim himnself in society after he gets out. It's a very masculine but truly humbling film. Olmos did a great job showing us that he can not only act, but direct as well. I was impressed with the shots he used in the film, some that I pondered as to why he would use it and I understood why. He's a creative indivisual and gave us something DIFFERENT to look at. Faby and I talk about about film, it's explosive cast of characters, the iconic one-liners, it's controversies, the elements of theater displayed into the film, the way lighting is used to make things look realistic, how a film like this still resonates to this day spreading its message beyond East Los Angeles, beyond Folsom State, beyond California period. It's a powerful film by Olmos and a story of this kind needed to be told. It's important that even in filmmaking, we need to be a melting pot of sorts of sharing stories that created a culture that is still powerful to today's societal means.Four out of four tokes.#americanme #edwardjamesolmos

This week poet and screenwriter Jimmy Santiago Baca joins Jimmy Patiño and me to talk about his 1993 epic Blood In Blood Out. We talk about Jimmy's life story, the challenges facing Chicanos in the 70s & 80s and the film's legacy today. This is a special pod. Hope you like it.About our guests:Jimmy Santiago Baca is a poet and activist of Chicano and Apache descent and author of Martin and Meditations on the South Valley (1987), which received the 1988 Before Columbus Foundation's American Book Award in 1989. In addition to over a dozen books of poetry, he has published memoirs, essays, stories, and a screenplay, Blood In Blood Out (aka Bound by Honor) (1993), which was  directed by Taylor Hackford.Jimmy Patiño seeks to critically excavate alternative imaginings of democratic practice among aggrieved communities in the midst of global capitalism. Concentrating on Mexican-origin and broader Latino/a/x communities at the U.S. Mexico Border and in major U.S. urban settings, his work attempts to dialog about the ways that concepts of race, gender and nation create hegemonic class disparities AND formulate an array of identities that mobilize social movements and initiate class struggles on multiple fronts. His first book, Raza Sí, Migra No: Chicano Movement Struggles for Immigrant Rights in San Diego asserts that important contingents of Mexican-origin activists in the U.S. engaged, across generations, the crisis over the “illegal alien“ through attempts at organizing the Mexican-origin community across differences of national affiliation and citizenship status. Focusing on San Diego due to its vital positioning as both urban and border space where consistent migration and race-based border policing has occurred, the project illuminates a serious challenge to deportation-oriented immigration policies between 1968 and 1986 through the ideological prism of Chicano self-determination. He is now working on a number of other projects, including a study that investigates the conceptualization and historical practice of solidarity primarily through the lens of African American, Chicana/o/x, and Puerto Rican sites of struggle in the twentieth century. Important to this investigation are the ways regional differences and geo-historical contexts facilitated articulations of Black-Brown/Afro-Latinx diasporic solidarities and how these articulations led to counter hegemonic activities and theories of revolution across local, national and transnational boundaries. Through a relational and comparative framework, the study will ground these analyses in historical activities in the Midwest, Texas, California and New York in the burgeoning Black and Brown Power movements at the mid to late 20th century. His broader research and teaching interests include Comparative Ethnic Studies, Chicano/a-Latino/a History, diaspora/transnationalism/borderlands, social movements and political mobilizations, and Cultural Studies.

A lot's changed since 1987: Biopics are much more common (and darker). Chicano artists are more mainstream, and Lou Diamond Phillips is a household name.  So we acknowledge "La Bamba' was groundbreaking ... and not very good. Listener Mark C. commissioned this episode and the upcoming "American Me" to celebrate his heritage as a first-generation Hispanic-American. He noted the blockbuster soundtrack, janky lip-syncing and performances from Esai Morales, Joe Pantaliano and Elizabeth Pena. But Mark didn't prepare us for laughably large talismans, breakneck pacing and Ritchie Valens' "golly-gee" persona. In this episode, the Shat Crew debates whether Ritchie's brother, Bob, got a fair shake in the movie, what really happened that night in Tijuana and how much racism is appropriate for this story. Gene spots a Mystical Mexican. Ash yearns for some Buddy Holly, and Dick wants more details about the plane crash and aftermath.

Eddie Murphy's superstar-making role has him playing crafty Detroit cop Axel Foley, who travels to Beverly Hills in order to try to uncover the reasons behind the professional hit placed on an old friend (James Russo).  His investigative tactics immediately draw the attention of the local law enforcement there, who put a tail on Foley to make sure that his story of being on vacation there holds up. By-the-book detectives Taggart (John Ashton) and Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) are the cops assigned to staking out Foley, and Axel ends up dragging them both into the investigation through his charm, which ends up getting them into more and more hot water with the boss, Lt. Bogomil (Ronny Cox).  With the cops on his case, his boss back in Detroit threatening his livelihood, and armed henchmen at every turn, Foley has a hard time trying to maintain focus on his intended prey, the wealthy art dealer, Victor Maitland (Stephen Berkoff). Erratum: For some reason, I referred to Edward James Olmos as 'James Edward Olmos' when discussing "American Me"

In this episode of the Deeper Riches Podcast we discuss “The Church,” which is the Body of Christ on the earth, and the Bride who awaits His return. Sadly, today we have been led to believe that our spiritual growth is an individual matter. But the story God is telling through the history of the world is not primarily a story about ME. It's a story about WE. In this episode, we attempt to bridge the gap between the American “ME-centered” approach to Christianity and the way the Bible describes the Body of Christ as a priesthood of believers who are being built up TOGETHER as the Body of Christ, the Church. We re-examine the concepts of belonging, spiritual gifts, and church membership and present a Biblical alternative to finding “your best Christian life now.” We are invited into so much more. God's plan for the Church was one of the great mysteries in all the universe, a thing into which angels longed to look.

We recap what we've learned, especially the whirlwind final months when we got to the bottom of what happened here. We set out to find out what happened during and after the production of the movie American Me. It took six months, but we think we've determined who did what, and why they did it. Instead of fuzzy memories and street rumors, we finally talked to some of the people closest to the events. We put the events in context for the listener and provide our major takeaways. For perhaps the first time ever, we learn the "why" to one of the most notorious movie productions in American history.   More Than a Movie: American Me is a podcast that digs into the history and mystery of American Me, a film directed by and starring Edward James Olmos that had a huge impact on Latino cinema and culture.

Antoinette Levine was one of the best-known location managers in Hollywood when Edward James Olmos asked her to get him into a prison.  Antoinette Levine was one of the premier Hollywood location managers in the early 1990s, with a talent for finding gritty Los Angeles backdrops for directors like Tony Scott.

Actor Jacob Vargas shares his experience on and off screen with gangs, movies and American Me.   Jacob Vargas caught a big break when at the age of 20 he was tapped to play Paulito in American Me. Since then he's had a career most actors would envy and continues starring in TV and film even today. How has he thrived as a Latino in Hollywood? What was it like being a kid in LA growing up around real gangs? And what impact did American Me actually have in his neighborhood? Was it the cautionary tale Olmos claims it was or did it somehow make kids think gangs were cool?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Edward James Olmos set out on his directorial debut, American Me, he wanted to accomplish two things: to represent Chicano culture on the big screen and to save part of his community from gang violence. But when people were allegedly murdered because of their participation in the film and Olmos himself was allegedly extorted by the real life Mexican Mafia, it exposed the unintended risks of trying to represent someone with an agenda in mind, even a well-meaning one. On the 30th anniversary of the cult classic, host Alex Fumero and producer Nigel Duara delve into the true story of American Me and the legacy the controversial film left behind.   Listen here and subscribe to More Than a Movie: American Me on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, Doug and Bill would like to let you know that they have a podcast.  They have had this podcast for almost a whole year now. They want to remind you of this because it seems as if they either don't put podcasts out anymore, or they run into multiple technical difficulties. Well here it is the long awaited, only half cursed Episode #42. In this week's episode the boys do an AEW All Out Preview. They break down the card, give you all the juicy details and rumors. OR they mumble their way through it and pretend to know what they're talking about. This week they go over pimento cheese balls, Big Dave, Enjoy Wrestling, The Show Big, pornography, nipple tape, Stand and Deliver, Have A Nice Day, Battleground Pro Wrestling's From the Ashes, QT Marshall, The Good Brothers, Programmed To Kill, and Stokely Hathaway. Here are a couple of questions for you after listening: How many times does Doug yawn during the episode? What do you think was censored when Bill said “**** Magnet ****”?  What is your favorite Edward James Olmos film? My answers: Since I saw the video, I know that there are more than Bill even reacted to. Heck. Easily, hands down, American Me.

LIKEITORNOT is back with part 2 of the Danny Torres episode! This is definitely, a true ROADHOUSE Edition, as it takes place on the Ave, on a Friday past 10pm. Amazing how we aren't sloppy drunk. Durrdy Dan and Isaac join me as co-hosts and we let Danny tell us how it is, NY style! He hasn't found any good cannoli's in the PNW yet. He discloses the location for the best chopped cheese in Manhattan. We talk 80's gangster movies, American Me, Colors and a lot of other random things like how to actually make cannoli's the way Danny's uncle Bob taught him. We then shift the conversation to pizza. He has great things to say about Little Cesar's and Salamones. Durrdy Dan then brings up the OG's, Abella's Pizzeria on Pacific. Zeek's somehow gets a mention, as does Camp Colvos & Tacoma Pie, Hyp's perennial favorites for the best pizza in the town award. Bar Rosa is the new hotspot because they got Tira Misu. We talk about what makes a Detroit style pie, a grandma slice and Hyp gives love to the legends SLICEBOX Pizza. Tiki Hut also gets some love! As they should! Danny stresses the fact that if you get a slice from a Detroit style pie joint, GET A CORNER SLICE!! Huge s/o to the growth of Tacoma Pie. Paos Donuts and Le Donut get love as the guys talk about donuts all of a sudden. Danny admits and Hyp agrees, that Krispy Kreme is just too good to pass up. High chance we will pull in if we happen to be in the area, haha. Isaac had me rolling at this point btw! We then get into Danny's music upbringing, attending the Harlem School of the Arts, teachers from back in the day who had an impact on him and his upcoming show at ALMA on June 10th, a rooftop, acoustic show with Anuhea, LIKEITORNOT. We end the show with Danny Brown's 'GROWN UP', s/o Detroit.

 Edward James Olmos starred in and directed the 1992 movie American Me. The opening title card of the film says it was “inspired by a true story.” The lead character played by Olmos is named Montoya Santana. Everything written about this character claims it is based on the real-life Mexican Mafia boss Rudolpho Cadena. What many people don't know about Rudolpho Cadena, is that he was from Bakersfield when he murdered a young man here in 1959.Buy a Notorious Bakersfield t-shirt here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1125833829/mens-t-shirt?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1Support Notorious Bakersfield by buying me a coffee:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Notorioushttps://www.notoriousbakersfield.com/
