This week Jodi talks with actress Elena Goode who stars in the highly anticipated HBO Max original series “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin” from acclaimed executive producer / writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Riverdale” and “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), now streaming on HBO Max. “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin” begins twenty years ago, when a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago...as well as their own. Born and raised in Harlem, NYC, bilingual speaker Goode's first big break came at just 9 years old when she was discovered by a talent agent who ultimately booked her for a pizza commercial. Growing up with parents who were both philanthropic lawyers respectively, she was taught to save her money and that education was the most important thing she could give herself. She tested into the prestigious LaGuardia Arts High School and credits this experience as changing her life as it was a very socially aware and culturally diverse school. She attended FIT for college but missed acting and auditioning so decided to get back into it which is when she booked the soap opera “As The World Turns” – something that greatly impressed her Puerto Rican mother. She went on to film 192 episodes in 2 ½ years and was part of the first gay storyline on Soap television, playing a friend's “beard” on the show (who naturally in Soap fashion turns out to also be her relative). She moved to Los Angeles and in 2015 booked the role of Nicole Young, Dr. Dre's (Corey Hawkins) wife in the Academy Award-nominated film STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON. She additionally starred as ‘Ma' in the HBO Latino original film ELLIOT LOVES about Latino culture and a young boy coming out. In her free time, Goode is passionate about advocating for Ocean and Sea Life protection.

Her short film, "F^¢K '€M R!GHT B@¢K" starring rapper Ddm Ddm, was accepted into Sundance and won Best Comedy Film at the Aspen Shortsfest. She was also a consulting producer and sales distributor on “Surge,” a documentary sold to Showtime about the surge of female candidates in the 2018 Midterms and the triumphant victory of now-Representative Lauren Underwood, the youngest Black woman ever in Congress, with Executive Producers Alyssa Milano and Katie Couric. Diving into the horror genre, she executive produced “Red Pill,” written and directed by Tony Award winning actress, Tonya Pinkins, a political horror movie which premiered during the 2021 Pan African Film Festival in Feb/Mar 2021 and was released on multiple platforms, including iTunes, Prime Video and Direct TV, after receiving glowing coverage in a growing number of publications and platforms, running the gamut from Forbes to Black Girl Nerds. Tonya's political horror film tells the story of a posse of progressives who ride into red country armed with idealism on the eve of the 2020 Election, when they should have brought heavy artillery. In addition to films, she oversaw the acquisition and commissioning of HBO Latino branded music programming. Awards for these programs include a Latin Grammy for Sony Music for music special “En Letra de Otro” with Pedro Capo, which led to a series of specials including “En Letra de Otro” with Farruko. Concerts included Carlos Santana, Gilberto Santa Rosa , Gente de Zona, Juanes, and many others. Along with being on the board of Almanack Screenwriters, Casap was most recently on the boards of the New York Urban League and El Museo del Barrio. Currently, she is an advisor to Second Act Women, Team TLC New York, and the upcoming Reading Rainbow Live. She has been an activist for the promotion of social justice and liberal causes, including the election of women, immigration and voting rights.  Looking at film as a throughline, she believes "comedy that moves culture through its humanity, and it's culture that's necessary to have been moved to make policy possible."

Vegas Film Critic (Jeffrey K Howard) speaks to the cast of Lupe on HBO Latino.

“Lupe” is a new drama that explores the topics of family, immigration and embracing one's true identity.It is directed by the team of  André Phillips & Charles Vuolo.  It depicts the complex world of Rafael (Rafael Albarrán), a Cuban immigrant and boxer, struggling with their transgender identity while searching for their missing sister, Isabel (Lucerys Medina) in New York City's underground sex industry. Today we have star Rafael Albarran and executive producer Kerry Michelle O'Brien to discuss the beauty and impact of this deeply moving film. The directors released this statement about the film: "In Lupe, our protagonist Rafael appears to have one primary goal: to find their sister Isabel and free her from a painful life. Rafael's second and less stated goal is to find peace with their own gender identity and reconcile this with preconceived notions about femininity and masculinity.Lupe is a film about the unseen struggles of those who don't conform with societies oldest and most rigid categories and the subtle but powerful moments that encompass their journey." Lupe premieres on Friday, February 26 (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO Latino and available to stream on HBO Max. With co-host Brody Levesque
