This episode's guest is actor, writer, voiceover artist, and unapologetic improv nerd, Roxana Ortega.Roxana is one of those rare artists whose vulnerability, honesty, and humor hit you all at once – and leave a lasting impression. If her voice sounds familiar, it might be because she's voiced everything from the passionate Frida Casagrande on The Casagrandes to characters in Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, and Monsters at Work. She's narrated Pulitzer Prize-winning novels, voiced countless animated characters, and is a master of voice matching (yes, she's dubbed for Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek).In our conversation, Roxana takes us through the unexpected path that led her to acting – from growing up in an academic household where creativity wasn't considered a “real” career, to having a life-changing epiphany while teaching English in Spain. We talk about the internal battle between playing it safe and going after what you truly want—and what it really means to decide to be an artist.We go deep into the power of improv as both a performance tool and a life philosophy, how failure can be a gift, and why community-building and representation matter now more than ever. Roxana shares how she uses her voice – literally and figuratively – to make space for underrepresented stories, and how she's continued to evolve as a writer, performer, and director.Whether you're someone who thrives on stage or someone working up the courage to take the leap, Roxana's journey will remind you that embracing risk, staying curious, and being fiercely yourself is always worth it.Episode Chapters 00:00 – Welcome + Introduction02:00 – Names, Language, and Laughter04:00 – Academic Roots & Artistic Restlessness07:55 – The Epiphany in Spain13:49 – “I Decided to Be an Actor”16:00 – Improv, Joy, and Redefining Failure21:45 – Performing, Directing, and Creating Her Own Work32:00 – Representation, Identity, and Making Space40:00 – The Tapestry of Humanity49:30 – Amazing Race Nerd Out50:50 – Blissful Spinster & Making Art on Your Own Terms54:35 – Final Words of Wisdom55:14 – What's Next for Roxana58:00 – Wrap-Up & Thank YouRoxana's Bio:Roxana Ortega is an American actor, writer, and voiceover artist who is known for voicing the ever-emotional Frida Casagrande on Nickelodeon's Emmy award-winning and Imagen award-winning cartoon The Casagrandes, a spinoff of the acclaimed series The Loud House.On-camera, she recently starred opposite Danny Trejo, Reno Wilson, and a cast of legends including Garrett Morris, Barry Bostwick, and James Hong in the Universal feature Grand-Daddy Day Care.

She graduated from U.C. Berkeley Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, then spent a year teaching English in Madrid, Spain.

Not since we watched Grand Daddy Day Care have we seen a movie as lazy as Daddy Day Camp.  The second in the greatest film trilogy in this galaxy, this film follows Cuba Gooding Jr. (replacing Eddie Murphy and playing the same character) as he forgets everything he learned from the first movie and applies it to running a camp.  Even though he establishes in the first scene that he hates camp, he buy a camp in the second scene.  Lots of poop, farts, and vomit in this one.  It also has a scene with SNL alum Brian Doyle-Murray which is why we watched it for our stupid podcast.  Enjoy!Download Here

In this episode we take a look at the direct to video sequel, Grand-Daddy Day Care (2019). When Frank Collins(Reno Wilson ) suffers from writer's block, he decides to start a day care for his father-in-law(Danny Trejo ) and other seniors as a way to make quick cash, while giving him time to still work on his next book. Eventually getting a small group to care for, Frank soon learns that these are not your typical seniors and they can't easily be corralled. With a code enforcement officer challenging the legality of his business, and his senior charges getting into all kinds of trouble, Frank's work days become anything but effortless. Listen to see what Matt and Mike thought of this film. We watched it so you wouldn't have to. We also share a fun story of how someone tried to scam us on Facebook . Listen, rate and share.

In 2019, America's favorite trilogy came to a close.  You completely forgot about Daddy Day Care, you never saw Daddy Day Camp but heard it was terrible, now the saga comes full circle with Grand Daddy Day Care.  Starring Danny Trejo as an ex-con turned lawyer with dementia who has to move in with his daughter and son-in-law.  When his old friends come over, his son-in-law gets an idea.  Run an illegal nursing home.  What could have been a fun Rapping Granny style movie is actually sad, featuring a bunch of older actors who don't seem to have the comic timing they used to complaining about how often they have to pee and how they need help off the toilet.  We watched this because it features an exceptionally sad performance from SNL alum Garret Morris.  Enjoy!Download Here
