America's intro to Gael Garcia Bernal and Alejandro Inarritu it's "Amores Perros" from 2000. First time viewer and comic Calvin Murata joins the club to discuss it all with Corporate Comedian and Host Steve Mazan. Can you see the Tanrantino influence? What do all the dog's represent? Should it have been shorter? Was Bernal jumping off the screen? Could we predict Alejandro's rise in Hollywood from this?

Es Navidad, estamos en vacaciones y es el mejor momento para escaparse a disfrutar la ciudad. Y en la capital mexicana una de las mejores opciones son los museos (es una de las urbes con más recintos de exhibición de todo tipo). Marlen, Edmundo y Gustavo hablan de sus exposiciones favoritas, de recomendaciones para recorrer en estos días y de sus recuerdos en museos: desde la (carísima) expo de Tim Burton, las míticas historias de largas filas con Yayoi Kusama, Andy Warhol o Los Impresionistas en el Dolores Olmedo. Además, conversan acerca de los museos en los que mejor se disfruta estar, como el MUAC en Ciudad Universitaria, de la exhibición de Realidad Virtual de Alejandro 'Yi' Iñárritu y El Chivo Lubezki, o de algunos horrores, como meter exposiciones de gran calidad en espacios infames (te estamos hablando, Bellas Artes, no te hagas).
This week, we circle back to this past year's Best Picture Nominee "The Revenant" (2015) and take a look back at a film that paved the way for Alejangro G. Inarrritu's survival epic when we dive into Werner Herzog's "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" (1972).

Iñárritu in his 2015 film The Revenant and the 2014 film Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance).We discuss the visual masterpieces and the value of being nominated for awards. We are also joined by John Minardi on this one. Acting and visuals are front and center in this discussion. Leo DiCaprio will probably be mentioned.
Nathan and Scotty discuss The Revenant, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. A frontiersman on a fur trading expedition in the 1820’s fights for survival after being mauled by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. Join us for a podcast about Leo, Tom Hardy, Awards Season, HBO’s Entourage, the filming conditions, the cinematography, revenge, dialogue, The Hollywood Reporter, Mel Gibson, and 2015: A Year in Movies. Plus, Andydrogynous reviews The Forest during Crap Night. The stakes are high for the frontrunner in the Best Picture race. The Revenant just might lead Leo to his first Oscar statue. This episode is sponsored by Philz Coffee.
Nathan and Scotty discuss Birdman, the hippest film of the year, the Single Take, Rope (1948) dir. Alfred Hitchcock, satirizing Hollywood, Noises Off... (1992), Raymond Carver, Pauline Kael and rewarding film criticism at the Sundance Film Festival. Plus, Crap Night with Andydrogynous as he reviews Black or White (2015) starring Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer. Clearly, 2015 will be the year of Birdman vs. Boyhood.
