Thirty years ago and after several delays and titles changes, we finally saw the release of this sprawling crime epic about three brothers growing up in East LA on different sides of the law. It lost money upon initial release as its studio didn't know how to market it nor did many critics know what to make of it.  But over time, it garnered a VERY enthusiastic cult following through play on both cable and video.....to the point where you can just utter "Vatos Locos!" to a stranger and he'll smile if he's part of that very cult. :) It was directed by Taylor Hackford (An Officer and A Gentleman, The Devil's Advocate) and features a very large cast lead by Benjamin Bratt, Damian Chapa, and Jesse Borrego. Host: Geoff Gershon  Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Deandre grew up in East LA where gang activity was normal. He was a football star and stood out amongst his 6 siblings. He enlisted in a gang prevention program where he started to become a positive influence on his peers. After, he worked odd jobs at a refinery in Wilmington, security gigs, and stints doing club and party promotion. He wasn't making enough money, so he began selling weed. Once he had a son he decided to change that and opened Strongbeach Lemonade in 2020. It is literally the most refreshing lemonade ever! Take a listen.

Dishonesty in education policy is not a new thing. From the criminalization of Black education to the arrests and trials of the East LA 13 to now, individuals from historically marginalized, oppressed, and excluded communities have received the message that our histories, our contributions, and our humanness are not welcome in our schools. A few months ago Monica Washington (2014 Texas Teacher of the Year), Tracey Nance (2020/2021 Georgia Teacher of the Year), Chris Dier (2020 Louisiana Teacher of the Year), Takeru Nagayoshi (2020 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year), and I were invited to participate in the Voices for Honest Education Fellowship. We were deployed as voices for and with educators to combat fear-based education gag orders and book bans. Initially, the manufactured uproar over Critical Race Theory was the pressure point that bad actors located. As this strategy foundered, they turned their attention to LGBTQ students, teachers, and communities. We know that these bad actors are a fringe minority, but, unfortunately, they represent the tail that has wagged multiple dogs at the state and local levels. While it may be easy to dismiss them as a small group that doesn't represent all Americans, they have successfully removed teachers, curriculum, and books from K-12 schools. One need look no further than Florida to see what happens when a small group gets the attention of an ambitious politician. We sat down to discuss our work, and to invite you into the struggle. Find more information by finding Voices for Honest Education on all social media platforms. Read our blog, attend our events, and let us know how it's going in your space.

Life is a process.” — Dan Pena Pena is a success coach known as the 50 Billion Dollar Man — a man who grew up dirt poor in East LA and went on to become worth half a billion dollars through grit and determination and has coached so many students to success that their combined net worth is now said to be 50 billion dollars (hence his moniker). Pena's quote really stuck with me, because it perfectly encapsulates success as a whole, including in strength and fitness endeavors — it's not a “journey” (unless you like spinning your wheels and don't care where you go). It's a process. And not just ANY process — it's a process that has to have two things - both of which (and much more) I dive into on this podcast.

S2 EPISODE 010 :: (Trigger Warning) Part of getting our "sass" back as a mom, is finding that inner part of ourselves that drives, inspires, and reignites that creative part of our brain. As to be expected, once kids and responsibilities enter the picture, we often push our dreams aside with the intention of revisiting said dreams at a later time when life gives us the opportunity to do so.Enter... Andrew Velázquez.Cosmetics Brand CEO Author (Love is Art, Art is Love, Amor es Arte, Arte es Amor)EducatorCosmetologistReality TV star and finalist (American Beauty Star) Celebrity Hair & Makeup ArtistWith his star studded career touching the faces of some of Hollywood's brightest stars including Lady Gaga, Demi Levato, Carmen Electra, as well as being part of the Makeup Artistry team on Keeping Up with the Kardashians - Andrew had his share of life and work and experience in the world of beauty.  Why is Andrew on Sass & Small Talk, you ask? Listen to the episode to see why he is a self-proclaimed Mama in his own right. Between caregiving for his younger siblings in his preteen years, to teaching his students and mentoring aspiring Artists (my daughter is eagerly waiting in line for her turn), to loving on his fur kids - it comes as no surprise that Andrew has quite a soft spot for all mamas, especially his own. His journey of self discovery, following a history of trauma navigating life as a young, gay, Mexican American, in the heart of East LA, eventually led him down a path of self destruction. He shares how, along with the encouragement of his Mom (his first love, and the original beauty inspiration in his life), he used these trial moments to help fuel his drive to realize his dreams. Andrew attributes these first critical steps in his young life - to being the very decisions that saved his life and led him to where he was destined to be. From fighting the inner saboteur, to setting healthy boundaries, integrating mindfulness practice in his day to day life, while being of service to others - Andrew allows us to dig deep into his history that brought him to this exciting phase in his life of becoming an Author and CEO of his own Cosmetics Brand.Disclaimer (Trigger Warning) : There will be a brief mention of self harm and suicidal ideation as Andrew opens up about his Mental Health journey, battling the inner struggles of finding his place within his faith and LGBTQ community.

Danny came from the rough streets of East LA and after Vietnam would return to be a committed community activist and mentor for many of the kids who were not as fortunate as he was.  The Silver Star was certainly earned as Danny was shot twice while providing medical aid to a stranded and wounded Marine on the battlefield; refusing to be evacuated, and killing several enemy soldiers as they flanked the casualty collection point that Danny had just been sitting in.  Danny's work on mentoring and building the community in his hometown is inspiring and you can't help but laugh as you hear some of the stories of the Marine Corps back in the Vietnam era.  His story is documented in his book, titled “Silver Star: An American Story” in much greater detail for those who are left wanting more.  Find Danny Online:  -Book: Silver Star: An American Story https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Star-American-Danny-Hernandez-ebook/dp/B07CJYYLLS/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Find Ryan Online:  - Ryan's Linktree https://linktr.ee/combatstory - Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/combatstory/ - Instagram @combatstory https://www.instagram.com/combatstory - Facebook @combatstoryofficial https://fb.me/combatstoryofficial - Send us messages at https://m.me/combatstoryofficial - Email ryan@combatstory.com - Learn more about Ryan www.combatstory.com/aboutus Show Notes: 0:00 - Intro  0:58 - Guest Introduction (Danny Hernandez)  2:12 - Interview begins  2:58 -  Growing up on the streets and early interest in joining the Marines  12:04 -  What Marine Corps boot camp was like in 1965  25:46 - Combat Story - Vietnam War - Movement into country and the amphibious landing  30:05 - First time in battle the first night they were there  33:35 - The brutal environment of Vietnam  35:48 - First 45 days of battles and the brotherhood fighting for each other  38:48 - How the streets made him sharper in battle  40:44 - Combat Story - Operation Utah - the 2nd largest battle in Vietnam history by Marines 1:02:00 - Wounded and tagged to get out but went back into battle anyway 1:09:31 -  Getting shot again, flown out for medical care, and adjusting to not being in combat  1:23:20 - Receiving a Silver Star 43 years later  1:30:33 - How influential was Vietnam in your work later in the community?  1:32:28 - About Danny's books "Silver Star: An American Story" and the new one "Chaos to Community"   1:33:09 - Listener comments and shout outs  This video covers the following subjects: - Marine Corps Silver Star Recipient - Operation Utah - Vietnam Veteran - Danny Hernandez By the time Danny graduates high school in 1965, he must choose between the two futures represented by his two uncles: Street Warrior or Military Man. Danny chooses the Marine Corps. Danny graduates from boot camp the same year President Lyndon B. Johnson commits ground troops to Vietnam. While his cousins back home express interest in the civil rights movement, Danny loses good friends in jungle raids and skirmishes with the Viet Cong. This is a gripping, true-life story, told in Danny's own words. From his training at Camp Pendleton to his heroic actions saving the lives of his fellow marines during Operation Utah, through his honorable discharge during one of the most tumultuous years of the Civil Rights Movement, Danny's endearing, honest, and sometimes heart-wrenching story honors the lives of those who risked everything for their country and their fellow marines.

This episode was recorded in the late summer of 2022, before the release of the recorded racist comments and frustrations on redistricting certain Latino communities in Los Angeles from  City Council President, Nury Martinez and her council colleagues, Kevin de Leon and Gil Cedillo. Our guest, Nicole López was running for a district-42  in the past June primaries, and the youngest Latina on the ballot to run in her District 42. She only lost by a few hundred votes. But that is not stopping her from running in 2024.  She discusses how a larger Latino community in East LA and South Central, was part of redistricting initiative after the 2020 census and why it's important for all of us to fill out the U.S Census. We discuss the impact of redistricting for voting and how she brings a new generational voice to those disenfranchised communities that are still financially impacted post Covid. Still active in her community, she saw first hand how her families own small business, Fronteras del Norte, a transportation company for farm workers who follow the seasonal work, was not contacted for PPP loans even through they are an integral part of the community. In fact, she mentioned, banks and local officials were was almost non-existent in outreach to her community and many businesses went under. Nicole is not the first young Latina to run for Congress as we share our admiration for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and recent cover feature on GQ Magazine and discuss how we can stand in our power. Although the June primaries are done, we are in the height of the mid-term voting season for November 2022 and this is not the time to be silent. There has been a lot of hurt in our communities, post pandemic and with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in some states, putting more pressure on women of color and the LGTBQ+ community. WE have to reach out to those communities, get our facts from trusted sources and participate in this democratic process. Nicole is running for 2024 for her congressional seat and she will not be silent.
